Anaganaga Oka Raju and Nari Nari Naduma Murari, both films were released for Sankranthi 2026, and both films have the required entertainment, but the songs could have been much better. The audiences feel that both films could have gone to a much bigger range with the right album. The team should have taken extra care of the songs.

Yes, both movies are still running with house-full collections and emerging as box office hits. But if Anaganaga Oka Raju and Nari Nari Naduma Murari had a couple of chartbuster songs along with the entertainment they have, their range could have been much, bigger. 

For Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu, the songs became a significant asset to the film, enhancing the entertainment value. That is the reason the film also has a repeated audiences.

Pawan Kalyan’s OG was the biggest Telugu grosser of 2025, putting a mega film at the top of the box office for the year. Similarly, a Mega film appears poised to be the highest grosser in 2026.

They Call Him OG collected close to 300 Cr gross worldwide, and coming to 2026, it looks like only a mega film will emerge as the biggest grosser at the box office, as this year, Telugu top stars are not releasing their films.

Mahesh Babu’s Varanasi, Prabhas’s Spirit, the Allu Arjun-Atlee film, and NTR-Prashant Neel’s film are set to be released in 2027, and Prabhas and Sandeep Vanga’s film has already officially announced the release date.

The 2026 Year Belongs to the Mega Family

It means that The Raja Saab, Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu, Peddi, Vishwambhara, and Ustaad Bhagat Singh are the only biggies this year. While Saab fails to live up to the expectations, Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu is already setting a bigger milestone at the box office and is expected to do more than 300 Cr gross in its full run.

The other mega films need to chase this to emerge as the new biggest, and if that does not happen, then Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu will settle as this year’s biggest. Practically, for now, Peddi has more chances to beat the sensational Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu’s number.

At this crucial point in his career, reports suggest that Salman Khan may face a box office clash with Prabhas and director Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s upcoming film Spirit in 2027.

Naveen Polishetty is one of the few heroes in Telugu cinema who comes from a non-film background and has built his career step by step through hard work and talent. His latest film, Anaganaga Oka Raju is performing excellently at the box office.

He made his debut as a lead actor with Agent Sai Srinivasa Athreya, which became a big success. After this film, he did not sign many projects in a hurry. Instead, he chose his films carefully and actively took part in the writing process, which is a major reason for his consistent success.

After Agent Sai Srinivasa Athreya, Naveen delivered an even bigger hit with Jathi Ratnalu. The film gave him a strong brand and market in the Telugu film industry. He continued his winning streak with Miss Shetty Mr Polishetty, which also performed well at the box office.

With these three films, Naveen gained strong support from A-centre markets and class audiences in cities like Hyderabad, Vizag, Bangalore, and overseas.

With Anaganaga Oka Raju, Naveen has now reached mass audiences as well. The film is performing well in all territories, including mass areas, and is expected to cross a ₹50 crore share in its full run. This success has helped him establish his brand among all sections of audiences.

His films are also doing strong business in non-theatrical markets, clearly showing his brand value and smart content choices.

Now, filmmakers are ready to invest bigger budgets in him, as he can comfortably lead films made on budgets of ₹50–75 crore. With this growth, Naveen Polishetty has officially entered the Tier-2 league of Telugu heroes.

0

March 2026 is set to witness intense competition at the Indian box office, with Dhurandhar 2, Toxic, and Peddi arriving in theatres within a short span. The trade and audiences look forward to these biggies.

Dhurandhar, the sensational blockbuster of Indian cinema, has rewritten several Hindi box office records. Its sequel has been officially announced for a March 19 release. Unlike the first part, Dhurandhar 2 is not limited to the Hindi market and is strongly targeting South Indian audiences as well.

Dhurandhar 2’s release date is set in stone

The makers have confirmed a pan-India release in all languages and are expecting strong anticipation from southern markets, especially after the film’s OTT success. Despite ongoing rumors about a possible postponement, the director once again confirmed today that the film will be released only on March 19.

Yash’s Toxic team is also committed to their March 19th release date

Toxic marks Yash’s first film after the KGF series, and naturally, the buzz around it is huge across all languages. The recently released teaser, whether it received positive or negative feedback, has created massive discussion online.

The makers are firm about their release plans and are ready to clash with Dhurandhar 2 on March 19. The film is not only a pan-India project but is also being released in international languages.

Peddi has already generated strong pan-India buzz through its promotional content. Both the teaser and the song Chikiri Chikiri received an excellent response across languages. It is a rooted mass entertainer directed by Buchi Babu, who comes from Sukumar’s school of filmmaking.

Can Peddi Stand Tall Against Toxic and Dhurandhar 2?

Trade circles are highly confident that the film has the potential to perform like Pushpa in pan-India markets. In a recent interview, Ram Charan confirmed March 27 as the release date, just one week after Dhurandhar 2 and Toxic.

All three films: Dhurandhar 2, Toxic, and Peddi are pan-Indian projects that depend on strong collections from multiple language markets. It now remains to be seen whether all three films stick to their planned release dates and face a direct box office clash.

Hindi Box Office Shock: Dhurandhar Week 6 Bigger Than Raja Saab Week 1

0

Prabhas’ The Raja Saab, released during Sankranthi, has failed to make an impact at the box office. The film’s Hindi version has performed poorly from day one, and trade circles are shocked to see that Dhurandhar collected more in its sixth week than The Raja Saab managed in its first week.

Prabhas is known as the first South Indian star to build a proper market in Hindi markets, setting huge records with films like Baahubali and Kalki 2898 AD. Except for Radhe Shyam, all his films posted impressive numbers, even competing with Bollywood’s biggest stars.

The Raja Saab: A Major Disappointment in the Hindi Market

Unfortunately, The Raja Saab marks another setback after Radhe Shyam. The film released with low buzz and poor reviews, along with weak word of mouth, meant it never gained momentum.

The numbers highlight the struggle: The Raja Saab collected around ₹20 crore nett in its first week in Hindi, while Dhurandhar managed ₹25 crore nett in its sixth week. This stark comparison shows just how badly The Raja Saab has underperformed.
