Ante Sundaraniki is one of the super hit films in Telugu, as per the reviews of the audiences. Directed by Vivek Atreya, the film got critical acclaim but it failed to impress the audiences at the ticket windows. The film's box office result is highly disappointing. The movie was premiered on TV and it resulted in a shocking TRP.

The film had its world Television premiere recently on Gemini TV and it garnered a TRP of 1.88. This is very less when compared to the fan following that Nani enjoys and the image he has in the families.

Despite the film being aired on a popular satellite channel, it failed to ring in good numbers in the first watching. Everyone thought that the film would pick up or achieve a cult status in the future but this is so shocking.
