Tomorrow’s bookings are almost double compared to Day 1, setting it up for a much bigger Day 2. It’s not a bad release date for the film, as trade and audiences expected. In fact, it’s the best release date for the movie. The competition has created strong buzz, and the content is scoring well at the box office.

Shows Reduced for The Raja Saab and Bhartha Mahasayulaku Wignyapthi

With five films releasing at the same time, the Sankranthi 2026 box office was expected to face screen and show count issues. As anticipated, Prabhas’ The Raja Saab and Ravi Teja’s Bhartha Mahasayulaku Wignyapthi are seeing a reduction in shows across the Telugu states.

Among the Sankranthi releases, Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu has clearly emerged as the audience’s first choice, followed by Anaganaga Oka Raju in second place and Nari Nari Naduma Murari in third. Because of this strong audience preference, these three films are witnessing higher demand and are even getting additional shows. 

On the other hand, The Raja Saab and Bhartha Mahasayulaku Wignyapthi are not performing well even during the festive period, leading to their shows getting continuously reduced.

According to data tracked from ticket booking platforms, the Telugu states shows count for January 16 as follows:

  • Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu: 2,298 shows
  • The Raja Saab: 926 shows
  • Anaganaga Oka Raju: 1,153 shows
  • Bhartha Mahasayulaku Wignyapthi: 530 shows
  • Nari Nari Naduma Murari: 594 shows

For comparison, the show count on January 15 was:

  • Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu: 2,176 shows
  • The Raja Saab: 1,021 shows
  • Anaganaga Oka Raju: 1,034 shows
  • Bhartha Mahasayulaku Wignyapthi: 571 shows
  • Nari Nari Naduma Murari: 534 shows

From January 15 to 16, The Raja Saab lost close to 100 shows, while Bhartha Mahasayulaku Wignyapthi saw a reduction of over 40 shows. These shows have largely been reassigned to the other three films, which are enjoying better audience demand.

The Raja Saab Suffers Heavy Overseas Losses

The Raja Saab Suffers Heavy Overseas Losses

The Raja Saab Overseas business Breakeven is valued at $10M. As Prabhas’s Salaar and Kalki did very huge numbers overseas, the distributors showed big confidence in the film. But the film did not see even reasonable numbers here for the business.

For the first week, the film has collected just around $3.6M overseas gross, and the closing will be in the range of $4M, mostly. It means for its business value, the horror comedy fantasy The Raja Saab has just recovered 40%, resulting in more than double losses overseas.

But one good thing for the distributor is that they did not buy the film on an outright basis. They have bought the film on an advance basis. So, the producer needs to take all the losses and compensate the distributor.

Sankranthi 2026: The Raja Saab Ends Up Least Rated

The Sankranthi 2026 is the biggest one as five films were released this year, and among them, Prabhas’s The Raja Saab has the highest budget and has also done the biggest business, but sadly, the film has become the least rated by audiences among Sankranthi films.

Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu receives unanimous positive WOM and reviews from audiences . Next, Anaganaga Oka Raju and Nari Nari Naduma Murari get decent to positive reviews from critics and WOM as well.

Bhartha Mahasayulaku Wignyapthi receives a one-time watchable word of mouth and reviews and is the better-rated film among recent Ravi Teja films.

Sankranthi 2026: All Films Except The Raja Saab Get Positive Word of Mouth

The only film that receives completely poor reviews and poor WOM is The Raja Saab, which is why the film is not seeing big numbers despite having a big star and the largest budget. Audiences have seen it as the least favorable option for this Sankranthi.

The Tamil Directors Jinx: Allu Arjun’s Biggest Challenge

The Tamil Directors Jinx: Allu Arjun’s Biggest Challenge

Allu Arjun’s next film, AA22, is directed by Tamil star director Atlee, and the film carries a humongous hype because it comes after Pushpa 2, a massive blockbuster at the box office. Besides this hype, Allu Arjun will also have to negate a persistent sentiment in the Telugu film industry with his next film. 

Somehow, Tamil directors do not fully understand Telugu heroes’ strengths and the audience’s taste and sensibilities when they make films with our stars. This is the main reason why Tamil directors have continuously failed to deliver box office successes.

Tamil Directors: A Concerning Track Record with Telugu Heroes

For stars like Pawan Kalyan, Mahesh Babu, and Ram Charan, Tamil directors have delivered huge disasters at the box office. Not only big heroes, even Tier-2 heroes have faced major flops with Tamil directors.

At his peak, Allu Arjun doing back-to-back films with Tamil directors stunned and surprised everyone. Even without waiting for the Atlee film’s result, he has already decided to join Lokesh Kanagaraj’s movie shooting this year itself, while the Atlee film is likely to release next year.

Both Atlee and Lokesh Kanagaraj not only need to satisfy Telugu audiences but also the pan-Indian audience, as Allu Arjun is now a big pan-India star, and it needs to be seen whether he will eliminate the sentiment in the industry. Both films will be released in all languages.
