The song and dance by the stars and all the jazz at the inauguration, held a day before the matches started, got just 1.8 TRP.
Dabangg 2 does well on the small screen too
The Salman Khan-starrer's TV premiere on Star Plus garnered 4.9 points, helping the channel to more or less hold on to its Gross Rating Points (GRPs).
This is from TOI article...
i'm sure the managerial company of IPL opening ceremony has incurred huge loss cause on tv 1.8 trps is below average and that too having stars like SRK,KAT,DPAD and more
btw its proven again that film stars can pull tv audience unless he has magical power like Big B
so the event couldn't pull any viewers except SRK,KAT,DPAD net tv fans and some hardcore IPL fans...
The opening isn't on top 25 tv programme last week... huge disaster
So IPL OPENING[1.8] VS D2 TV PREMEIR [4.9]
