Kollywood has seen many successful films, but few manage to maintain their impact beyond the big screen. Amaran, starring Sivakarthikeyan and Sai Pallavi, has done just that! Directed by Rajkumar Periasamy, this biographical action drama was a massive box office hit and later became a streaming sensation. Now, it has set another milestone by delivering an exceptional TRP rating during its television premiere.
While most films fail to get high TRP ratings after OTT release, Amaran went against the trend. The film garnered a staggering 9.19 TRP in urban areas and 8 TRP in urban and rural combined on Star Maa. These numbers clearly indicate the unadulterated love that Telugu audiences have for Sivakarthikeyan and Sai Pallavi.
Let’s dig deeper into Amaran’s phenomenal journey from theatres to television screens.
Amaran – The Kollywood Blockbuster That Won Hearts
Released during Diwali, Amaran faced stiff competition from films like Lucky Baskhar and KA. Despite that, it outperformed all competitors and became the highest-grossing film in Telugu states. The movie’s gripping narrative, stellar performances, and action-packed sequences won over audiences across regions.
