New Indian bingo game show National Bingo Night on the Colors network has received the country’s highest opening television viewers rating of any debuting celebrity show in the country. Hosted by popular Bollywood star Abhishek Bachchan, the show received a rating of 5.1 by the TV rating agency TAM Media Research.

Ashvini Yardi, Programming Head of Colors said, “There was a huge wave of interest amongst the viewers to play the game of Bingo with Abhishek. The format of the show is so simple, the ease with which Abhishek conducts the game and the Saturday 9PM time slot is all so perfect, that it gives the entire family a chance to sit and play together, enjoy and win prizes.”

Part of the show’s high ratings for the opening show is due to Abhishek’s famous father, Amitabh Bachchan, who was one of the show’s first participants. With its bingo theme and interactive nature, National Bingo Night offers an excellent combination of bingo, trivia and interaction from studio audience, contestants and players watching at home. For Indian players looking for an alternative to online bingo, National Bingo Night offers loads of fun.
