The Raja Saab Telugu: 6 Days Box Office Collections

Prabhas’s The Raja Saab continues its poor performance at the theaters, and after the six-day run at the box office, the film’s collections are disappointing. It was expected to be a massive hit but , sadly, it did not live up to expectations.

The Raja Saab 6 Days Collections:

  • Nizam: 27 Cr
  • Ceded: 9.5 Cr
  • UA: 9 Cr
  • East: 7.2 Cr
  • West: 5 Cr
  • Guntur: 4.95 Cr
  • Krishna: 4.65 Cr
  • Nellore: 2.95 Cr
  • AP/TG Total: 70.25 Cr
  • ROI: 7.75 Cr
  • Overseas: 15 Cr
  • Worldwide Total: 93 Cr

With a break-even point of 165 crore , “The Raja Saab’s” six-day box office collections stand at 93 crore share (including GST in Telugu States). Currently, the movie is looking at a maximum possible finish of around 110 crore , as it did not see the expected jump even during the festival days.

Other movies received better word of mouth and reviews than ” The Raja Saab,” which impacted this film in a big way. One good decision by the team was releasing the film on the pre-festival weekend, which helped it secure a large number of screens and a solo release. But after the weekend, the film failed to post strong numbers at the box office.

Jana Nayagan Case: Supreme Court Rejects

While the fans of Vijay and the producers of Jana Nayagan expected that their issues with the Madras High Court would be resolved in the Supreme Court , but the film continues to be affected by the law.

The update for the day is that the Supreme Court has refused to interfere with the interim stay granted by the Division Bench of the Madras High Court for Jana Nayagan, which means the issues for the film remain unresolved.

Jana Nayagan: Verdict Still Pending from the Courts

Now, the producers will have to return to the High Court and argue the writ appeal before the CJ’s Bench on January 20. This is a significant setback for the team, as they, along with fans, anticipated a positive response from the Supreme Court and thought that the movie would release next weekend.

But now, the producers again have to go to the Madras High Court and fight the case. With this, no one knows when the film will finally hit theatres.

Vijay Retires, Rajinikanth Age Factor: Tamil Directors Shift to Tollywood

Tamil star hero Vijay has announced his retirement from films, and Jana Nayagan will be his last movie. Superstar Rajinikanth is still acting and chasing box office records, but age is slowly becoming a limiting factor for him. Because of these reasons, many Tamil directors are now shifting their focus toward Tollywood.

At present, handling massive budgets of ₹400–500 crore in Kollywood is possible only with two stars: Rajinikanth and Vijay. In Rajinikanth’s case, age has become a major concern, as not all commercial scripts suit him anymore. Writing mass entertainers that match his age is a challenging task. Vijay, on the other hand, has decided to quit films to focus on his political career, making Jana Nayagan his final project.

With these limitations, Kollywood’s top directors who want to make big-budget commercial films are forced to look at other industries, especially the Telugu film industry. Shankar recently made Game Changer with a Telugu star. Atlee is now working with Allu Arjun, and Lokesh Kanagaraj is also collaborating with Allu Arjun. After Jailer 2, Nelson has committed to a film with NTR. Many directors are already in discussions with Telugu superstars for their upcoming projects.

The Telugu industry has around six Tier-1 stars and several pan-India heroes. This gives directors the freedom to plan bigger budgets and make large-scale films. Because of this advantage, many Tamil directors are now looking toward Tollywood stars for their ambitious projects.

No Festival Magic for Bhartha Mahasayulaku Wignyapthi at Box Office

Ravi Teja’s latest film, Bhartha Mahasayulaku Wignyapthi, released in theatres on January 13 and was expected to benefit from the Sankranthi festival season. However, the film failed to meet expectations at the box office.

Five films released during Sankranthi. Considering Ravi Teja’s star status, his film should have ideally ranked as the third biggest release. But the poor performance of his recent films has had a strong negative impact on Bhartha Mahasayulaku Wignyapthi, and it failed to get the required numbers despite the help of Sankranthi festival season.

The movie received average to one-time-watch word of mouth. Normally, this level of response is enough to attract audiences, but theatre footfalls have been lower than expected.

In the first two days, the film collected only around ₹4 crore share worldwide, despite the festival advantage. Meanwhile, Anaganaga Oka Raju and Nari Nari Naduma Murari received much better word of mouth from the second day onward. As a result, Ravi Teja’s film is facing a significant drop at the box office.

The worldwide theatrical rights are valued at ₹20 crore, and the two-day recovery is only about 20%. The film needs strong growth from today onward to achieve at least a decent recovery for buyers.

Competition Fails, Chiranjeevi Prevails

After his comeback, Chiranjeevi released three films during the Sankranthi season and every time he successfully emerged victorious in competition. His comeback began in 2017 with Khaidi No. 150 clashed with Balakrishna’s Gouthami Putra Satakarni and Shatamanam Bhavati. 

Despite the competition, Chiranjeevi’s film faced no real challenge at the box office. It crossed the ₹100 crore share mark and created a non-Baahubali record by collecting nearly double compared to Balakrishna’s film.

In 2023, Waltair Veerayya released alongside Veera Simha Reddy and Varasudu. Once again, Chiranjeevi dominated the box office and delivered one of the biggest collections of his career, earning almost double the numbers of Veera Simha Reddy.

This year, the Sankranthi season saw heavy competition with multiple releases, including Chiranjeevi’s Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu, Prabhas’ The Raja Saab, Sharwanand’s Nari Nari Naduma Murari, Naveen Polishetty’s Anaganaga Oka Raju, and Ravi Teja’s Bhartha Mahasayulaku Wignyapthi. Even with so many films in the race, Megastar once again faced no real competition and emerged as the clear No.1 choice by a wide margin.

The film is once again expected to collect nearly double compared to its competitors and is heading towards becoming Chiranjeevi’s biggest grosser to date.

Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu 3 Days Box Office Collection Report

Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu has had an impressive three-day run at the box office, collecting a worldwide share of 73 Cr, including GST from the Andhra and Nizam regions. The festival days are expected to give more boost to the film.

Day 3 turned out to be extraordinary, showing strong momentum at the ticket counters. After a fantastic three-day run at the box office, Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu’s gross is above 120 Cr for the film.

The film is expected to exceed 300 Cr gross and achieve even bigger numbers in its full run. It could have been even bigger, but the film is currently facing screen count issues.

MSG is all set to cross the 100 Cr share club on the 5th day at the box office, and by Sunday, the film will reach the breakeven mark worldwide.

Anaganaga Oka Raju 1st Day Box Office: Record Opening For Naveen Polishetty

Despite multiple film releases during the Sankranthi season, Naveen Polishetty’s strong brand value has brought a large number of audiences to theatres, and he scores record opening with Anaganaga Oka Raju, his latest film.

With unanimously positive word of mouth, the film’s collections are increasing show by show. Overall, Anaganaga Oka Raju has recorded the biggest opening of Naveen Polishetty’s career and his first double-digit opening gross as a star entertainer. It is a terrific start. 

The film needs to collect around ₹50 crore gross to reach the breakeven point, and there is a high chance that this target will be achieved within the first weekend itself.

Day 2 advance bookings are much stronger than Day 1 in the domestic market, which is a very positive sign for the film’s box office performance.
