Chiranjeevi, Balakrishna - No More Favorites

Mega Star and Box Office Bonanza, how powerful are these titles for two of our most popular veteran stars Chiranjeevi and Nandamuri Balakrishna respectively. But, do these stars still have their competence in tact to entertain house hold audience irrespective of age and sex factors?

A firm answer can be no because Gauthami Puthra Satakarni, the prestigious 100th from Balayya Babu and Khaidi No 150, the highly entertaining 150th from Chiranjeevi are declared duds on the small screen. 

For a moment, let’s forget about success of these two on big screens which have various reasons and factors to attribute but for those TV channel managements who bought satellite rights at exuberant prices, definitely losses are on the way.

According to latest Television Rating Points (TRP) reports, Khaidi No 150 secured a poor 6.9 TRP when telecasted for the first time on Star MAA. In fact, this number is as good as the weakest TRP numbers gained by Chiranjeevi hosted game show Meelo Evaru Koteeswarudu. 

At the same time, NBK100 was far worse than Mega150 because GPSK registered a meager 5.5 TRPs. What more evidence do we need to pass a statement that Chiranjeevi, Balakrishna are no more the favorite heroes for small screen audience?
