Hi Nanna starring Natural Star Nani and Mrunal Thakur received a warm reception at the box office. The film boasted a talented cast and offered a refreshing experience, thanks to the chemistry between the lead actors and the inclusion of a child character. However, its success soared even higher after its release on OTT platforms. Upon its debut on Netflix, the film garnered remarkable attention, securing a prominent spot on the Top Films list.
Despite initial lukewarm response in theaters, the film found a new audience on Netflix, earning admiration from viewers who missed it during its theatrical run. However, its performance on television was disappointing. Recently premiering worldwide, “Hi Nanna” struggled to attract viewers, achieving only 4.45 TRP in urban areas and 4.06 TRP in both urban and rural regions. This outcome was particularly disheartening for Nani, given his popularity among family audiences. The film, which delves into family themes, surprisingly faltered on television.
Although “Hi Nanna” received positive reviews in theaters and generated decent word-of-mouth, it failed to translate into strong television ratings. This trend extends beyond just this film, as recent releases starring Nani have also seen low TRP numbers. Conversely, Nani’s films have found significant success on OTT platforms.
Looking ahead, Nani is currently engaged in filming a new project under DVV Creations, titled “Saripodhaa Sanivaaram.” The first look of the film has already been unveiled, generating anticipation among fans. As Nani continues to explore diverse roles and projects, his journey in the entertainment industry remains a captivating one for audiences worldwide.
