Salman Khan's Dus Ka Dum opened amidst a lot of expectations. And naturally so, considering the show was returning after almost a decade with Salman as a host. But all the hopes were dashed as the show failed to claim a spot in top 20, according to BARC India. And now due to the low ratings, the channel has decided to reduce the runtime of the show from 1.5 hours to 1 hour. While the makers of the game show claim that the airing time has been reduced due to overall change in programming a source close to the show has told DNA that the step has been indeed taken due to low ratings.

The episode, which was a Race 3 special, got 1.1 which was the same as its opening. The show couldn't engage for that much time. The makers initially must have thought that with such a big superstar hosting the show, they will be able to outdo shows on other channels. Or it could be that after establishing that slot, they would have wanted to launch another show. However, they haven't been able to do that, so now they must have decided to shorten the length and make the content crisper." The show opened to mixed reviews. Some people thought it was a drag, while others loved Salman's inimitable style and interesting set of questions. "It is hovering in the vicinity of 0.9 to 1.1.
