Salman Khan's Dus Ka Dum 3 returned to the small screen after nine years. Though fans were super excited about the show's return, it did not show in the TRP ratings. The ratings of the show weren't as great as experts predicted it to be. The show airs on Mondays and Tuesdays, it has a couple of changes in the segments and formats to keep the audience entertained. According to reports in TOI, the show will now be moved to the weekend slot and will air at 9.30 pm. Well, seems like a wise choice. In fact, reports also suggest that makers will be changing a couple of more things in the show to make it more interesting.
A source close to Dus Ka Dum 3 told the portal, "Dus Ka Dum will be shifting to the weekend slot and shall air at 9:30 PM. Initially, the makers had considered Mondays and Tuesdays to be ideal for the show but post the low numbers, the show is set to air on the weekends. They realized that their audience was not available at the earlier time slot and days, and hence took the important decision." Mumbai Mirror also reported that the channel will give the show a new name and go back to the old celebrity format.
The show will reportedly be called Dus Ka Dumdaar Weekend and will only have celebrities participating instead of commoners. A source from the set told the daily, "The first to shoot for the celebrity episodes were Salman’s longtime friend, (composer-actor) Himesh Reshammiya and singer Guru Randhawa, who was also a part of his tour. Followed by TV actress and Bigg Boss 11 winner Shilpa Shinde, who was up against Yeh Hai Mohabbatein actor Karan Patel." In fact, Kamal Haasan was also spotted shooting for an episode with Salman Khan while promoting his upcoming film, Vishwaroopam 2. What are your thoughts on this?
