Court Shock to Telugu Producers

The Telangana High Court has once again issued important directions regarding the Telugu cinema ticket price hikes. On Tuesday, the court heard a petition challenging the memo issued by the Home Department that allowed an increase in ticket prices for the film “Mana Shankara Varaprasad Garu.”

During the hearing, the High Court issued suo motu contempt notices to C.V. Anand, Principal Secretary of the Home Department. The court expressed strong displeasure over the issuance of orders permitting a ticket price hike for the film, stating that it was done in violation of the court’s earlier directions.

Will the Telugu Producers follow the Telangana High Court’s Directions?

Advocate Vijay Gopal argued the case on behalf of the petitioner in WP No. 1518 of 2026. He contended that Home Department officials had deliberately violated previous court orders. The petitioner’s counsel further stated that the authorities failed to inform the court about the increase in ticket prices for Mana Shankaravaraprasad Garu and allegedly suppressed the facts. Based on these arguments, the High Court issued contempt notices to C.V. Anand.

The Telangana High Court gave directions that the decision regarding ticket price hikes must strictly follow the Telangana Cinemas Regulation Act, 1955. It directed that any decision to increase ticket prices for any film must be announced at least 90 days in advance.

The Telangana High Court firmly warned the authorities not to issue similar orders in the future without complying with its earlier directives.

The Raja Saab Suffers Two Thirds Loss in America

Prabhas and Maruthi’s The Raja Saab was released in theaters, but the film failed to meet the expectations and faced massive losses, especially in North America.

The horror comedy fantasy has almost ended its box office run with losses in all territories. If we calculate the business value, the maximum loss has occurred for The Raja Saab in North America.

The break-even value for the North American market was set at 7.5 million dollars, but the film is closing under 2.5 million dollars. This means the movie has not even collected one third of its break-even value, resulting in huge losses.

Overall, worldwide, the film has collected only half of its business value. The total break-even requirement was 400 crore gross, but the film managed to collect only 200 crore gross. With this, the film has incurred a business loss of around 100 crore.

Nizam Drops, Andhra Rocks: Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu Day 8 Collections

After a massive festival week with 140 Cr share collections (including GST) and close to 225 Cr gross collections , Mana Shankara Vara Prasad holds good on day 8 overall but has a drop in collections of Nizam.

If we observe the territory wise numbers on its 8th day, Mana Shankara Vara Prasad sees a drop in Nizam but has a fantastic hold in Andhra.

On Day 8, the film has collected around 90 L share on Nizam, which is under 1 Cr, whereas in Andhra Pradesh the film has collected more than 4.5 Cr. The film also surpassed the 100 Cr share mark in Telugu states without adding GST, a milestone that very few films have been able to achieve.

Overall, the film has collected above 235 Cr gross for 8 days, with a share around 146 Cr worldwide.

Prabhas Spirit Film: Hope for Raja Saab Producers

People Media Factory bought Prabhas’ Adipurush rights in the Telugu states for a very high price and faced huge losses. Thereafter, the actor did a film with them, The Raja Saab, which was initially planned on a reasonable budget but eventually turned into a massive-budget project.

Unfortunately, the film failed to impress audiences and resulted in heavy losses for the makers. Since the movie was self-released by the producers, the burden became even bigger.

The Raja Saab Producers put hopes on Spirit

Now, all hopes of People Media Factory are on Prabhas’ next film, Spirit, with Sandeep Vanga, which is announced for a March 2027 release. As it is a crazy project and the rights are with them, the production house expects the film to compensate at least some percentage of the losses.

However, to fully recover all the losses, they will definitely need another successful film with Prabhas. It remains to be seen how the actor will accommodate dates for the production house, as he already has multiple commitments in hand.

The Raja Saab Faces 100 Cr Producer Loss

The Raja Saab was initially planned as a small-budget film, but the project later transformed into a massive-budget venture. Director Maruthi and his team officially revealed that the film’s total budget crossed ₹400 Cr. But sadly, The Raja Saab resulted in a 100 Cr loss for the producer.

According to strong industry buzz, the actual production cost is close to ₹350 Cr, and trade experts believe the makers may have added interest and additional expenses to project the budget at ₹400 Cr.

Excluding non-theatrical rights, pre-release trade estimates suggested that The Raja Saab needed a ₹200 Cr+ theatrical share to break even. Showing huge confidence in the film, the producer avoided an outright sale. Instead, he opted for a commission-based deal, taking only advances from distributors, a bold and risky move.

Unfortunately, The Raja Saab is currently heading towards just ₹100 Cr theatrical share, resulting in a massive ₹100 Cr loss for the producer. This outcome has shocked industry circles and raised questions about big-budget risks in the current market.

Jio Hotstar Hikes Prices : Subscribe Before Deadline

Jio Hotstar has officially announced a revision in its subscription prices, which will come into effect from January 28, 2026. The new pricing has already sparked mixed reactions from users, especially due to the sharp increase in premium plans.

One of the biggest changes is in the top-tier Premium annual subscription, which will increase from ₹1,499 to ₹2,199, marking a hike of ₹700. Many users are questioning what additional benefits the platform is offering to justify this price increase. Several subscribers have also complained that they still have to watch ads while streaming content and continue to face buffering issues, even after paying higher fees.

Below is the updated list of Jio Hotstar subscription prices:

Mobile Plans

  • Monthly: ₹79
  • Quarterly: ₹149 (no change)
  • Annual: ₹499 (no change)

Super Plans

  • Monthly: ₹149

  • Quarterly: ₹699 (earlier ₹499)
  • Annual: ₹2,199 (earlier ₹1,499)

While Jio Hotstar has introduced new monthly options for some tiers, the steep hike in quarterly and annual plans has left many users dissatisfied. As the new prices take effect, audiences are now waiting to see whether the platform will offer better streaming quality, fewer ads, or improved performance to match the increased cost.
