Chiranjeevi and Anil Ravipudi’s first-ever combination film, Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu, is all set for a grand theatrical release on January 12, 2026, and the film’s business details in Telugu states are out now.

The makers of MSG did reasonable business, and the breakeven will be easy if the movie receives a positive WOM. Because of many films releasing on Sankranthi, all film businesses have been affected a bit.

If Chiranjeevi and Anil Ravipudi’s film gets a positive response, then the trade expects it to achieve the breakeven within the first week itself.

0

There were massive expectations for Boyapati Sreenu and Balakrishna’s Akhanda sequel. Despite getting negative word of mouth or reviews, Akhanda 2 has gathered good collections in two days.

Here are the details of Akhanda 2 2 days WW BO

Day 1 share: 30.04 Cr
Day 2 share: 10.25 Cr
Includes GST in Nizam & Andhra
2 days share: 40.29 Cr
Breakeven: 110 Cr
Recovery: 37%

Looking at the business, Akhanda 2’s two days collections are below par. However, considering the WOM, the numbers are respectable.

Trade and fans expect the film to get as many as numbers during the first weekend. But one thing is sure: if the movie had received a positive response, then the box office collections would have been excellent. Let us see how the film performs in the coming days

Akhanda 2 Box Office: Balakrishna’s Stardom Proven

0

After facing unexpected postponement and landing in theaters this week, Akhanda 2 opens with bad reviews and word of mouth at the box office, but the film is not having such poor collections thanks to Balakrishna’s stardom.

The much-awaited sequel received poor reviews from the premiere itself, which affected the collections hugely, but collections are not seeing a disastrous drop. It’s maintaining an average to decent range, but the numbers are not enough for the record business.

Earlier, poor reviews led to Balakrishna’s films collapsing after just one day. After the first day, numbers remained low. Not only for him, but even for the other senior heroes, if the films open with negative talk, the films will not perform after opening day.

But Akhanda 2 saw some respectable numbers on day 2, and it collected over 15 Cr gross in India. Today also the film is expected to post 15Cr+ gross in India.

No senior hero film has scored 100 Cr gross with bad WOM, but Akhanda 2 has a chance to do this with the help of Balakrishna’s stardom. If it happens, then he will be the 1st hero to do so. But for the business it has done, the film needs to gross 180 Cr in the final run, which looks impossible.

Dhurandhar 2 Needs a Postponement

0

Ranveer Singh and Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar is having a rampage weekend at the box office, as the film is scoring more numbers on the second weekend than on the first weekend. Looking at the film’s success, it will be good for the makers if they postpone Dhurandhar 2 from its announced date, March 19, 2026. 

Released on December 5, the spy action thriller/drama received positive reviews and gained strength at the box office with each passing day. Today, the film stunned the trade by breaking Pushpa 2’s 2nd Saturday Hindi net (40 Cr+) by a 25% margin with 50 Cr+ net. The film is on track to even beat Pushpa 2’s lifetime net in India for Hindi to emerge as the all-time no. 1 grosser.

So, if the makers postpone Dhurandhar 2 to December 2026, it will be the best decision for its box office prospects. Looking at the first part’s storm in theaters, it is expected to have a strong theatrical run until January. After the OTT release, the film will need some breathing space to attract more audiences, especially in the South. 

Furthermore, the March 19th date provides insufficient time for Part 2 promotions and buzz-building. A December release would be the proper choice for the sequel.

0

After the blockbuster Gabbar Singh, the announcement of Ustaad Bhagat Singh in the combination of Pawan Kalyan and Harish Shankar created immense excitement among fans. However, the joy quickly turned into disappointment when it was revealed that the film was a remake of the Tamil movie Theri.

Recently, director Harish Shankar clarified that Ustaad Bhagat Singh is not a remake. He stated that the film is a grand treat meant to thoroughly entertain Pawan Kalyan’s fans.

Speaking to fans, Harish Shankar revealed, “Initially, I planned Ustaad Bhagat Singh as a college love story. But considering the expectations associated with our combination, where fans look forward to a mass entertainer, I made several changes to the story.

During that phase, the COVID-19 pandemic changed everything, and I went through a period of depression. Because of that, there was some delay from my side in shaping the story properly. It is true that at one point we considered making a remake, but the entire team was not fully excited about it. So, we dropped that idea and decided to work on a completely new story,” he said.

Overall, the director described Ustaad Bhagat Singh as a powerful action entertainer designed to please Pawan Kalyan’s fans. Meanwhile, the film’s first song, Dekhlenge Saala, was released a short while ago and has received a positive response from the audience.

The Raja Saab: Second Single Loading, Thaman Under Pressure

0

Music director Thaman impressed everyone with his songs and background score in OG, but he failed to satisfy Prabhas’s fans with the first single from The Raja Saab. Now, a big responsibility rests on his shoulders to win them over with the second single.

Reportedly, the second song from Prabhas and Maruthi’s horror-comedy film is set to release on December 16, with an official announcement likely to be made tomorrow.

Since the first song did not make a strong impact, this release is very crucial, not just for the film but also for Thaman’s image, as Prabhas’s fans are already unhappy with his underwhelming work on the first single.

The music director now needs to deliver a chartbuster to win back the audience and regain everyone’s confidence.

Dekhlenge Saala: Pawan Kalyan Steals The Show

0

Dekhlenge Saala, the first song from Pawan Kalyan and Harish Shankar’s Ustaad Bhagat Singh, has given a rampage start to the album. The fans who kept their hopes high on the director have been completely satisfied with the song.

The lyrics are catchy, and one good thing about DSP is that the sound mixing is clear with proper impact. The beats, costumes, grand set, and choreography are perfect. Pawan Kalyan and Sree Leela’s pairing looks fantastic. This is probably the best look of Pawan in recent times, and his energy is also superb.

Overall, the first single of Ustaad Bhagat Singh, Dekhlenge Saala, arrives as an excellent treat for PSPK fans, and the Gabbar Singh combination is set to recreate the same magic in the summer of 2026.
