On the occasion of Ugadi, two of the recent releases Ram’s Red and Allari Naresh’s Bangaru Bullodu premiered on TV. Surprisingly, despite it being a festive occasion, both the movies received poor ratings.
The digital rights of both the movies are with SunNXT while the Television rights were bagged by Gemini TV. While Red attracted a TRP of 5.0, Bangaru Bullodu got ratings of 2.4 in its premiere telecast.
