Anaganaga Oka Raju Pre Release Business Details

0

Naveen Polishetty’s Anaganaga Oka Raju is all set to enthrall audiences in theaters in a couple of days, and the good news is that the film has done solid pre-business overall. The film has also put the producer into the profit zone even before release. 

Anaganaga Oka Raju Pre-Business

Nizam: 7 Cr
Andhra: 10 Cr
Ceased: 2.5 Cr
ROI: 1.75 Cr
Overseas: 7 Cr

So, the total theatrical business of Anaganaga Oka Raju is 28 Cr, which is an extraordinary pre-release business. There are expectations in the trade that this film has a chance to do a ₹100 Cr gross.

With non-theatrical deals, the film has done more than 50 Cr business, resulting in table profits for producers. 

Directed by Maari, the rural entertainer was produced by Suryadevara Naga Vamsi and Sai Soujanya, under Sithara Entertainments and Fortune Four Cinemas. The film stars Naveen Polishetty and Meenakshi Chaudhary in the lead roles.

Parasakthi Boosts Sivakarthikeyan’s Stunning Hattrick

0

With Parasakthi, Sivakarthikeyan scores a hat-trick of million-dollar openings overseas and looks set for a hat-trick of double-digit openings in Tamil Nadu as well, as per estimates. It is a fantastic feat for the actor, as he is consistently delivering strong openings.

Like the other film, Jana Nayagan did not arrive in theaters for Pongal; this film is all set to post stronger numbers till next Sunday, and it’s expected to get close to being the 2nd biggest grosser for Siva Karthikeyan after Amaran in its full run.

Parasakthi Starts Well at the Box Office, but it needs to maintain its strong run

Though Sivakarthikeyan scored solid openings overseas with Parasakthi, the negative factor is that the film did not open with unanimous positive reports. It opens with mixed reports, and we need to see how the film performs in the coming days.

The Raja Saab Day 2 Box Office Estimates

0

Prabhas’ The Raja Saab is expected to collect around ₹35 Cr worldwide on Day 2 across all languages. While the Telugu states have posted somewhat respectable numbers, the overall worldwide performance remains weak. 

The film clearly had a below-par Day 2 at the box office, and if we look at the business, it needs to collect 400 Cr + Gross for breakeven, whereas the 2-day gross is likely to be just above 135 Cr, which is not a good sign.

On the opening day, The Raja Saab makes more than 100 Cr gross, but on day 2 it collects just 1/3rd of it. Tomorrow needs to be a big day for this horror comedy, but the advances do not look promising.

For pan-India films, the collections need to come from all over India, not just one single language. Let us wait and watch how the Prabhas starrer gathers its strength at the box office in the coming days. 

The Raja Saab Day 3 Bookings: Huge Drop Across All Areas

0

After collecting ₹100 crore gross on its first day, Prabhas’s The Raja Saab is witnessing a massive drop in advance bookings for Day 3 across all regions. The film now depends heavily on strong walk-ins to post decent numbers tomorrow.

In Hyderabad, Day 3 advance bookings on BookMyShow stand at ₹2.65 crore, which is only a 53% hold compared to Day 2. This is a worrying sign, clearly indicating that word of mouth and reviews are starting to affect the film’s performance.

The Raja Saab needs to deliver big on its third day

While The Raja Saab managed reasonably decent bookings on Day 2, the massive drop on Day 3 is not a positive trend for its box office run. Sunday collections are now crucial, as the film needs massive walk-ins to recover momentum.

After Sunday, the film is expected to face a strong pre-festival effect on Monday and Tuesday. It will also encounter fresh competition from Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu. Considering all these factors, tomorrow’s collections will be very important, and the film must make the most of the weekend to secure big numbers at the box office.

The Raja Saab Hindi Version Crashes

0

The Raja Saab’s Hindi version sees a mediocre start at the box office with 6 Cr nett, and on day 2 the film is not seeing any jump. The shocking part is that today, Dhurandar, which was released last month, is doing much better than Prabhas’s movie at the box office. 

On its 37th day, Dhurandhar is doing better than The Raja Saab’s Hindi version on its 2nd day. The tracked gross till 6:35 PM for Ranveer Singh’s film stands at ₹4.41 Cr with 26% occupancy, while The Raja Saab’s tracked gross stands at ₹3.39 Cr with 12% occupancy, which is very poor.

With this trend the film may not see many numbers after the weekend, and even doing 50 Cr net in a full run looks impossible for the film.

Excel Radhe Shyam, all films of Prabhas have done well in North India, but now, his latest film, The Raja Saab, is heading towards a big failure at the box office. 

Court Order Effect: Reviews Disabled for Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu

0

The makers of Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu have taken a bold and step to protect the film from online negativity and digital manipulation. As seen on BookMyShow, the platform has officially displayed the message “Ratings & Reviews disabled as per court order”, confirming that audience ratings and reviews have been temporarily blocked.

This move was taken with the help of a court order, following concerns from the makers about fake reviews, targeted rating attacks, and online manipulation even before the film’s release. With social media and booking platforms increasingly influencing public opinion, the team decided to act early to safeguard the film’s theatrical prospects.

The decision has been implemented by the film’s producers and anti-piracy partners like Block BIGG and Aiplex, who teamed up to take a strong stand against unfair digital practices. By disabling ratings and reviews during the crucial release window, the makers aim to ensure that the film is judged purely by audiences watching it in theatres, rather than by online campaigns or manipulated scores.

This stand from Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu against online negativity could set a new trend in the film industry, with other big films likely to consider similar legal protection to prevent premature online backlash. If successful, this strategy may change how reviews and ratings function on booking platforms during major releases.

Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu, starring Megastar Chiranjeevi and Nayanthara, is scheduled for release on January 12, 2026, and carries strong expectations among fans. The film is directed by Anil Ravipudi and is positioned as a full-fledged entertainer.

Despite iBomma Ravi Arrest, Piracy Continues

0

It is well known that Hyderabad police arrested Immadi Ravi, who was running the iBomma website. After this arrest, many people believed that the piracy threat to Telugu cinema had finally come to an end. However, even after iBomma Ravi’s arrest, a big film like The Raja Saab falling into the piracy trap has shocked everyone.

The Raja Saab was released during Sankranti amid high expectations. At the same time, a shocking incident came to light. A video showing the film being played at a North Indian restaurant in Dublin, Ohio, USA, went viral on social media.

The Arrest of iBomma Ravi Couldn’t Halt Piracy

An Instagram user recorded a video of the movie being played on a TV inside the restaurant and shared it online. Many people were surprised to see the film being screened just one day after its release.

After learning that The Raja Saab was pirated and uploaded on an online website, Prabhas fans reportedly became concerned and on the other hand, the fact that piracy surfaced again even after the arrest of iBomma Ravi has sparked widespread discussion on social media.

Anaganaga Oka Raju Opts for Ticket Hike in Andhra Pradesh

0

The Andhra Pradesh government has officially permitted ticket price hikes for the upcoming Telugu film Anaganaga Oka Raju, which is set to release on January 14, 2026. The film’s trailer was recently released and received a positive response. 

As per the permission granted, theaters in Andhra Pradesh can increase ticket prices by ₹50 in single screens and ₹75 in multiplexes (including GST). These revised ticket rates will be valid for a period of 10 days, starting from the film’s release date. The hike also covers five additional shows from the first day of release.

Naveen Polishetty’s Anaganaga Oka Raju gets the Ticket Hikes GO in Andhra Pradesh

The film stars Naveen Polishetty in the lead role, and despite competing with two massive biggies for Sankranti, the film has already generated good buzz ahead of its release. The temporary ticket hike is expected to help the makers of Anaganaga Oka Raju capitalize on the festive and opening-week demand.  In Telangana, the movie will be screened with GO prices.

Telangana Cinematography Minister Drops Bombshell on Ticket Hikes

0

Ticket price hikes in Telangana have become a hot topic in recent days. Amid this discussion, Telangana Cinematography Minister Komati Reddy Venkat Reddy made a surprising statement, saying that he has no connection with the increase in ticket price hikes.

Earlier, the minister had stated that there would be no hike in ticket rates. However, recent Telugu films such as Prabhas’s The Raja Saab and Chiranjeevi’s Mana Shankara Vara Prasad were released with increased ticket prices.

Responding to this issue, Komati Reddy Venkat Reddy said that he is completely away from the affairs of the film industry and has nothing to do with ticket price hikes.

He also shared that the tragic death of a woman in a stampede during the release of Pushpa 2 deeply disturbed him. The incident made him seriously question whether it was a mistake to grant special permissions for that film.

After the tragedy, the minister said he took a firm decision and clearly told film industry leaders not to approach him anymore for ticket price increases. He revealed that since then, no one from the industry has met him, and he has no role in the current ticket price hikes.

Komati Reddy further stated that he stopped involving himself in film industry matters a long time ago and that the present ticket rate issue is not within his responsibility.

The Raja Saab Day 1 Gross Collections

0

The first biggie of 2026 for Telugu Cinema, The Raja Saab starring Prabhas, arrived in theaters on January 9th, and the film opened with decent collections on day 1 despite getting mixed reviews unanimously. The film’s gross collections have crossed 100 Cr, making it the 6th one for Prabhas in his career. 

The Raja Saab 1st day Gross (Approx)

Telugu States Including Hires

  • Telangana: 22 Cr
  • Ceeded : 8 Cr
  • Andhra : 31 Cr
  • Karnataka: 8 Cr
  • TN + Kerala: 2 Cr
  • North India : 8 Cr
  • Overseas: 24 Cr
  • Total Gross – 103 Cr

The film needs to collect more than 400 Cr gross to achieve the breakeven; more than 90% of the collections will come from the Telugu version, as the other languages did not give much positive response to it. This is a disappointing thing for a pan-Indian film.

Fans are sharing the numbers on social media, highlighting that Prabhas’s The Raja Saab scored decent collections on the first day despite getting negative reviews. But the film needs to continue doing so in the festival days to achieve a positive result at the box office.
