The kind of sensation created by Vijay Antony's 'Bichagadu' is known to one and all. Though the original 'Pichaikaran' was just an average, Telugu version has set the cash registering ringing and collected around Rs 25 crore.
'Bichagadu' fetched a TRP of 18.75 for the TV Premiere on Gemini TV. That's a figure even most of the straight Telugu movies were unable to generate.
Whereas, TV Premiere of Tamil version 'Pichaikaran' has now created an All-Time South India record. When it was aired on Sun TV on November 13th this year, This Vijay Antony starrer fetched a TRP of 24.55 on BARC scale.
No other Tamil films were able to attain even a TRP close to that mark so far. Even Tollywood Blockbusters such as Sri Ramadasu (24), Magadheera (22), Baahubali (21.84) and Srimanthudu (21.24) are lagging behind. Hats off to Vijay Antony & his Team!
