Amitabh Bachchan says he is puzzled over the falling TRP ratings of game shows like Panchvi Pass , hosted by star like Shah Rukh Khan.

Writing on his blog, Bachchan referred to reports that SRK hosted Panchvi Pass , was Panchvi Fail, after its not too encouraging numbers saying that he wished to find out reasons of lower ratings and would like to have inputs from bloggers.

Bachchan, who virtually revolutionalised television game shows with Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC) wondered whether such question-answer game shows are losing the interest of the audience or whether the growing number of television channels are responsible for the decline in their TRPs.

The Bollywood icon was also sceptical of the format of question-answer game shows.

"Why is there a depleted performance despite the presence of the biggest name in the business?" he asked. The actor also wanted to know if TV ratings are a correct indicator of the popularity of a particular show.

He said TV viewership has exponentially gone up. Does this reflect positively or negatively on the ratings. Is the fall in ratings due to the increase in the number of channels? Bachchan asked.

He said, "KBC 1 ran non-stop for almost two years and then with an adequate break the 2 and the 3. I am unable to understand its falling interest as the graphs show despite the fact that they were presented by bigger and more popular stars, namely Shah Rukh, he said.
