Life OK’s Shapath series Super Cops V/s Super Villains sets a new trend for weekends
Mumbai: Life OK’s Shapath series Super Cops V/s Super Villains has recorded a new high. The supernatural series that airs on weekends on Life OK, India’s fastest growing General Entertainment Channel, has pushed past the competition to record an upsurge in TVTs starting Week 31. Being the only fiction show on the weekend 9 PM prime time slot, the show is now proving to be a tough competition to the other Talent based reality shows in the same time slot.
The CG heavy series that focuses on a new super villain every weekend has provided the extra push to Life OK to climb the success charts.
Commenting on the growth trajectory for Shapath, Mr. Pratik Seal, Marketing Head, Life OK, says, “We are extremely happy that the Shapath series of Super Cops Vs Super Villains has been widely appreciated by our audiences and the current ratings are a measure of its success. The series has carved a niche for itself, especially considering the presence of Bollywood celebrities on competing shows. For anyone who does not want to watch reality based shows.”
Moving on from its first season names Hum ne Li hai Shapath, a Crime Investigation series, to Shapath Super cops v/s Super villains, a Supernatural series, the show has received wider acceptance since the revamp. The fiction series has made a distinctive mark for itself amongst the competitive star studded reality shows. The weekends series of Shapath Super Cops Vs Super Villains airs every Saturday and Sunday at 9 PM.

Meanwhile, its English counterpart CNBC-TV18 posted a strong 58 million views, reinforcing the network’s cross-category strength.
The spike in viewership reflects a broader shift in audience behaviour, with viewers increasingly turning to digital platforms particularly Youtube for real-time updates and in-depth coverage during high-intensity news cycles.
