YAMLA PAGLA DEEWANA PHIR SE has emerged a HIT on television after its disaster theatrical performance. The film fetched a huge 27 crore for its satellite rights which actually enabled to make it a profitable film for the makers with the losses being on the books of Star who had the satellite rights. But the film has scored on television and it should do well enough in time to cover the huge price.

SANJU also had its television premiere a couple of weeks back and has done decent. The price here was almost double of YAMLA PAGLA DEEWANA PHIR SE. The premiere of SANJU was a little short of 80 lakhs impressions and the second screening was a little above 40 lakhs. The other films from Rajkumar Hirani like PK and 3 IDIOTS were very good on television and it remains to be seen how SANJU fares in the long run.

If we take into account screenings after the premiere then GOLMAAL AGAIN, TIGER ZINDA HAI and BAAGHI 2 are top three in that order and then there is a gap to the next best which is DHADAK followed by RAID.

The top ten films on television in 2018 are as follows. The number is the impressions which is basically the number of television sets which viewed the film.
