After
a
terrific
theatrical
and
OTT
run,
Uppena
has
now
garnered
huge
attention
of
the
mini-screen
audiences.
The
romantic
drama
starring
Vaishnav
Tej
and
Krithi
Shetty
has
yet
again
proved
that
the
film
is
indeed
the
undisputed
winner
this
year.
Apparently,
the
film's
recent
world
television
premiere
on
Star
Maa
has
created
a
massive
record
with
its
TRP
(Television
Rating
Point)
of
18.5.
Reportedly,
this
is
a
huge
number
for
a
Tollywood
film
with
newcomers,
especially
for
its
world
television
premiere.
Let
us
tell
you
that
Uppena
became
the
talk
of
the
town
when
it
released
in
theatres
on
February
12,
ahead
of
Valentine's
Day.
The
brilliantly
crafted
film's
engaging
storyline,
performances
of
the
star
cast
especially
Vijay
Sethupathi's
role
as
the
main
antagonist,
lovely
chemistry
between
the
two
lead
actors,
soothing
music
tracks
and
beautiful
cinematography
might
have
been
the
reasons
why
the
film
received
immense
attention
from
far
and
wide.
For
the
unversed,
the
romantic
drama
written
and
directed
by
Buchi
Babu
Sana
also
marks
Mega
Family's
young
hero
Vaishnav's
entry
into
showbiz.
Notably,
the
film
emerged
as
the
biggest
blockbuster
to
release
post
the
COVID-19
pandemic
induced
lockdown
and
acquired
a
collection
close
to
Rs
80
crore
at
the
