Dishoom became the highest rated film on television as far as 2016 releases are concerned. The numbers it recorded were excellent and if we convert some of the old TRP rating into Barc then it is bigger than films like Kick, Dhoom 3 and Rowdy Rathore. The theatre footfalls of Dishoom were 76 lakh apprx and and if we add to its premier television showing numbers its a total of over 1.70 crore making it the third most watched film of 2016 after Sultan and Housefull 3. It comfortably beats Airlift by around 20 lakhs and the television numbers of the second biggest grosser of 2016 Rustom are yet to come. Sultan leads with only its theatre footfalls with television yet to be added. The rating are impressions (BARC) which is basically the number of television sets that viewed the films on their respective premieres.

1. Prem Ratan Dhan Payo - 2,51,19,000

2. Dishoom - 95,44,000

3. Housefull 3 - 78,16,000

4. Baaghi - 69,88,000

5. Dilwale - 67,61,000

6. Sanam Re - 56,66,000

7. Bajirao Mastani - 54,76,000

8. 1920 London - 40,14,000

9. Ghayal Once Again - 38,61,000

10. Sanam Teri Kasam - 37,01,000

1920 London was a rare bright spot for horror genre a few weeks back. The film did phenomenally well for the horror genre. Sultan will be making its way on to television screens in mid October and will hit top spot for 2016 but remains to be seen if it can beat the record of Prem Ratan Dhan Payo.
