Anaganaga Oka Raju 3 Days Area Wise Box Office Collections

0

Naveen Polishetty’s festive entertainer, Anaganaga Oka Raju, is performing extremely well at the box office, seeing huge recoveries in just 3 days. By today, the film is also achieving breakeven worldwide.

Anaganaga Oka Raju’s Area-wise collections for 3 Days:

Nizam: 4.8 Cr
Ceeded: 1.9 Cr
Uttarandhra: 2.37 Cr
Guntur: 1.17 Cr
Krishna: 84 L
East Godavari: 1.48 Cr
West Godavari: 96 L
Nellore: 57 L

So, if we put all the numbers together, Naveen Polishetty’s Anaganaga Oka Raju has collected 14.09 Cr share for 3 days in Telugu states, and if we add the GST in Nizam and Andhra, the total reaches 16.3 Cr.

The film gathered 1.15 Cr share from the rest of India, while overseas picked up 4.4 Cr, taking the worldwide share to 21.85 Cr.

The film needs 27 Cr to achieve breakeven, and by today, it is expected to cross that mark, and it’s heading towards the 1st 50 Cr share film for Naveen Polishetty.

Parasakthi First Week Box Office: Poor Collections Despite Big Advantages

0

Sivakarthikeyan’s Parasakthi received a major advantage this Pongal/Sankranthi after the postponement of Jana Nayagan due to censorship issues. Because of this, there were high expectations for the film that it would collect very big numbers, similar to Amaran.

But the film opened with mixed word of mouth. Even with mixed reviews, trade circles expected Parasakthi to post strong collections due to the Pongal festival advantage. Unfortunately, the movie is not showing the massive box office numbers that were expected.

In its first week, it has collected around ₹43 crore gross in Tamil Nadu and approximately ₹70 crore gross worldwide. At the time of release, there were expectations that the film would easily cross ₹200 crore gross. But now, even reaching the ₹125 crore mark by the end of its full run appears to be very difficult.

Anil Ravipudi vs Chiranjeevi? First-Ever Sankranthi Clash Loading

0

Director Anil Ravipudi and Megastar Chiranjeevi are both considered strong Sankranthi heroes. Over the past ten years, most of their major successes have come from Sankranthi releases. Now, there is a buzz that the actor and director are set to clash with each other next year.

Before this year, Chiranjeevi delivered two big Sankranthi blockbusters, Khaidi No. 150 and Waltair Veerayya. Similarly, Anil Ravipudi scored three massive Sankranthi hits with F2, Sarileru Neekevvaru, and Sankranthiki Vasthunam.

This year, their first collaboration, Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu, was released in theaters and is dominating the Sankranthi season with the highest collections. Interestingly, Chiranjeevi and Anil Ravipudi have never faced a Sankranthi box office clash so far.

But this could change next year. The blockbuster duo of Anil Ravipudi and Venkatesh are set to collaborate for the fourth time, with plans to release their film during Sankranthi 2027. At the same time, Chiranjeevi is reuniting with director Bobby for another project, which is also expected to target a Sankranthi 2027 release.

If both films stick to their schedules, it will mark the first-ever Sankranthi clash involving Chiranjeevi and Anil Ravipudi.

Drishyam 3: Is Venkatesh Out of the Franchise?

0

Telugu audiences are likely to be disappointed, as reports suggest that Venkatesh has stepped away from the blockbuster Drishyam franchise, and the Telugu version of Drishyam 3 may not happen. It is already known that the Malayalam and Hindi versions have officially announced their release dates. 

The Drishyam franchise is not only a big brand in Malayalam cinema but also a massive success in the Hindi and Telugu film industries. The Malayalam version stars Mohanlal, the Telugu version features Venkatesh, and Ajay Devgn plays the lead in the Hindi version.

No Update on Drishyam 3 Telugu Version: Rumors of it being shelved are circulating

In Malayalam, Drishyam 3 has been announced for release on April 2. The Hindi version is scheduled to hit theaters on October 2. But there is no official update or buzz yet regarding the Telugu version. Earlier, Venkatesh had confirmed that Drishyam 3 was part of his upcoming projects. But now, reports say that he is not doing the film for the time being.

Venkatesh is currently working on a film with director Trivikram. After completing this project, he is expected to team up once again with Anil Ravipudi, aiming for a Sankranthi release. As the official confirmation is not out yet, fans suspect that the third part of Drishyam will not be made in Telugu.

Since Drishyam 3 does not require many shooting days, there is still a possibility that Venkatesh could manage it between his other commitments. There was also speculation that the Telugu version might release at the same time as Mohanlal’s Malayalam version, but nothing has been confirmed yet.

Ravi Teja Loses Sankranthi Magic

0

If we observe the previous Sankranthi releases of Ravi Teja, he has delivered several big hits in the past. His film Krishna (2008) was a sensational blockbuster, followed by Mirapakay (2011) and Krack (2021). 

All three films became huge successes and emerged as Sankranthi winners. In 2023, Ravi Teja also played a key role in Chiranjeevi’s Waltair Veerayya, which turned out to be another Sankranthi winner.

For Sankranthi 2026, Ravi Teja hoped to continue this successful streak. He even agreed to reduce his remuneration to ensure the release of Bhartha Mahasayulaku Wignyapthi. However, the final result came as a shock.

Although the film received decent reviews and positive word of mouth, it failed to translate into strong box office collections. The overall business of the film is modest, at around ₹20 crore, yet it has still not been able to achieve breakeven.

Even after four days in theaters, the film’s daily collections remain in single digits. At this rate, there is no chance of the movie reaching breakeven worldwide.

Ravi Teja’s current form has clearly affected the film’s performance at the box office. His recent releases have failed to make an impact. Had the same film been released when Ravi Teja was in better form, it could have performed much better, especially with decent word of mouth, joining his previous big hits of Sankranthi season.

Good Entertainment in Anaganaga Oka Raju, Nari Nari Naduma Murari – Music Falls Short

0

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.

With this success, Chiranjeevi has now delivered three solid blockbusters after his comeback. Interestingly, all three—Khaidi No. 150, Waltair Veerayya, and now Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu are Sankranthi releases. Sankranthi truly continues to be a lucky season for the megastar.

0

Megastar Chiranjeevi achieved his first ₹200 crore grosser with Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy and followed it up with another ₹200 crore film, Waltair Veerayya. Now, Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu has joined the ₹200 crore club, becoming Chiranjeevi’s third film to reach this milestone.

In just five days, the film has collected around ₹110 crore share worldwide, marking the biggest first week in Chiranjeevi’s career so far. By tomorrow, it is expected to become his highest-grossing film and the one with the biggest share.

At this strong pace, the film is now aiming to become Chiranjeevi’s first ₹300 crore grosser. The movie is showing excellent trends and emerged as the top choice for audiences during the Sankranthi season.

Additionally, the coming week includes a long weekend, with Republic Day falling on Monday. Even during that period, Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu is expected to remain the number one choice for moviegoers. With all these positive factors, the ₹300 crore mark looks well within reach.

After 2025, Mega Film Will Rule Box Office in 2026

0

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.
