Balakrishna’s Daaku Maharaaj Registers Fair TRP of 8.23 on First Telecast
Daaku Maharaaj, the latest action drama headlined by Nandamuri Balakrishna, has continued its impressive run by scoring an 8.23 TRP during its world television premiere on Star Maa. After lighting up Netflix—where its gripping storyline and S.S. Thaman‑driven soundtrack won over non‑Telugu audiences—the film arrives on small screens at a time when TV viewership for theatrical releases is on the decline.
Despite facing stiff competition from Venkatesh’s Sankranthiki Vasthunam in theaters, Daaku Maharaaj has proven its appeal on television, maintaining the trend of Balakrishna’s past films that have consistently performed well in the TV slot. Produced by Naga Vamsi under Sithara Entertainments, the film’s robust ensemble cast includes Pragya Jaiswal, Shraddha Srinath, Urvashi Rautela, and Chandini Chowdhary, with Bobby Deol delivering a memorable performance as the primary antagonist.
The synergy of Balakrishna’s screen presence and Thaman’s chart‑topping score not only fueled its Netflix popularity but also ensured that Daaku Maharaaj resonated strongly with television audiences, marking another milestone in Balakrishna’s illustrious career.
