The much-awaited film ‘Sankranthiki Vasthunam’ has taken the box office by storm, delivering a phenomenal opening across all territories. The film is creating records, becoming the biggest opening in Venkatesh’s career, with its collections nearly doubling his previous best.

Early estimates suggest that the film raked in an impressive worldwide share of ₹24 crore on its opening day. This is a mind-blowing achievement and a testament to the immense anticipation and positive buzz surrounding the project. Advance bookings for the film in the Telugu states have been sensational, pointing to a strong Day 2 performance that is expected to surpass Day 1 figures.


Trade analysts predict that the film will achieve break even within just three days of its release, showcasing its exceptional box office potential. Furthermore, ‘Sankranthiki Vasthunam’ is poised to surpass the closing collections of ‘F2: Fun and Frustration’ by the end of its first weekend.


The ultimate box office range of the film will depend on its performance after Sunday, but the initial response from both audiences and critics indicates a solid run ahead. With such an electrifying start, ‘Sankranthiki Vasthunam’ has set the tone for the festive season and reaffirmed Venkatesh’s star power.

Will Shankar’s Dream Project Ever Take Off?

Will Shankar’s Dream Project Ever Take Off? This is the question that is bothering the movie lovers of Tamil and Telugu Cinema. Director Shankar, who was regarded as the legendary filmmaker from the South Indian Film Industry is facing tough times with back-to-back failures like Indian 2 and Game Changer.

Putting results aside, the senior director is also failing to handle the budgets properly. Indian 2 was planned as a single film but the runtime came to 5 – 5.5 hours. With this, the team divided it into two parts but the first part itself became a colossal failure and the next part’s release was in trouble.

Shockingly Shankar himself revealed that even the Game Changer’s final footage was also 5 hours and he trimmed many good scenes to adjust the length, which shocked everyone. In his recent interviews, the Robo director officially said his next big project is Velpari, which will be made as a 3 part film.

But now, certainly, Shankar will find it tough to find a producer who can put money on him. All his recent films have given big losses for producers and shooting 5 – 6 hours of footage for a film will make no producers come to him. So, looking at the current situation, Velpari will not start immediately, and Shankar needs to do a lot of things to take this film on sets. That is why netizens wonder if Will Shankar’s Dream Project Ever Take Off.

Madha Gaja Raja: A Sensational Blockbuster

Madha Gaja Raja is heading towards a Sensational Blockbuster. No one expected that a film that was delayed for 12 years would become a success at the box office. Directed by Sundar C, and starring Vishal, Madha Gaja Raja was announced for 2013 release.

However, due to many reasons it was continuously postponed and finally released in theaters for this Sankranthi/Pongal with Vidaamuyarchi getting postponed. Normally, these kinds of delayed films fail to bring even a basic number of audiences to the theaters.

But Madha Gaja Raja is doing very big at Tamil Nadu’s box office. It started with around 3 Cr gross, and the 2nd day also maintained the same level and on the 3rd day, which is a festival day, it collected more than the combined gross of day 1 and day 2. For 3 days the film gross is around 14 Cr and at this pace, it is expected to do more than 40 Cr gross in Tamil Nadu which is very huge for the film.

All other Sankranthi releases in Tamil Nadu are struggling to get good numbers, including Game Changer which added a big advantage for Madha Gaja Raja. Vishal fans are delighted as Madha Gaja Raja is heading towards a Sensational Blockbuster.

Vidaamuyarchi Trailer Arriving

Vidaamuyarchi Trailer is arriving. The latest action thriller from Ajith Kumar was all set to arrive in theaters for this Pongal/Sankranthi. However, the film was postponed at the last minute. Now, the latest release date for the film is January 23rd, and the Vidaamuyarchi Trailer is arriving soon.

The main reason for the movie’s postponement is clearance issues from the original, Hollywood film Breakdown’s producers. Reportedly, the team did the entire shoot without buying the rights and the makers of Breakdown asked a heavy price to release the NOC.

With this, the movie was pushed from Sankranthi, and now all issues are said to be resolved. The team is waiting for the official NOC letter, which is expected to come shortly, after getting the NOC letter the team Vidaamuyarchi will immediately release the trailer with a release date announcement, The trailer is likely to be released before this weekend, and the theatrical release will be in this month end.

Sankranthiki Vasthunam Opens with Triple Saindhav’s Closing Numbers

Sankranthiki Vasthunnam opens with a triple than Saindhav’s Closing Numbers. It is widely known that Victory Venkatesh released two films each last year and this Sankranthi: Sankranthiki Vasthunam and Saindhav. Both films were released for Sankranthi.

Saindhav even struggled to get a double-digit share in closing whereas Sankranthiki Vasthunnam’s opening itself is around 24 Cr share worldwide which is around 3 times Saindhav’s closing numbers. This shows the power of Venkatesh’s family entertainers.  Sankranthiki Vasthunnam opens with a triple than Saindhav’s Closing Numbers.

This is also a lesson for Venkatesh to know that fans and audiences are expecting entertainment from him, and the family genre is their first choice as the actor is more connected to the families. This is why whenever he does family subjects those movies work massively at the box office. 

This result of SV can certainly change Venkatesh’s choice of films further and he is likely to select the right content that resonates well with his target audiences.

Daaku Maharaaj 3 Days Box Office Collections

Daaku Maharaaj’s 3 days Box Office Collections are excellent. Bobby directed the film, which stars Nandamuri Balakrishna as Daaku. The action drama showed strongholds on day 3 despite facing competition from a new release, Sankranthiki Vasthunnam, and it posted another double-digit share worldwide on the third day.

For 3 days, the film’s worldwide share is around 54 Cr. The theatrical rights are valued at 80 Cr, and as of now, around 2/3rd the recovery has happened in 3 days.  If Daaku can continue the same momentum today and tomorrow, the film will achieve breakeven and will become Balakrishna’s biggest hit by this weekend itself. Daaku Maharaaj’s 3 days Box Office Collections are excellent.

To enter the 100 Cr share club and to cross more milestones, we should wait and see how it holds after this weekend. The film is definitely holding super strong in Andhra, while the numbers of Nizam and overseas are seeing a disappointing downward trend. The numbers could have been much bigger if these two territories held strong.

Game Changer shows replaced

Game Changer starring Ram Charan has failed to get the momentum on the festive days as expected by the team. With this, the buyers are now replacing the shows with Sankranthiki Vasthunam. In most of the centers, Sankranthiki Vasthunam will have more than the double shows of Game Changer starting tomorrow.

Many theatres tomorrow are set to cancel Game Changer’s shows and replace them with Sankranthiki Vasthunam. As the distributors and buyers happen to be the same for both films, losses may not arise with compensation already coming from the blockbuster collections of Sankranthiki Vasthunam.

Game Changer at this pace will not even get close to 100 crores share in the Telugu version. This is seriously an unexpected outcome. The film had major expectations before the release with Shankar’s brand and Ram Charan’s stardom. But nothing added up to the performance of Game Changer.

Game Changer Runtime: 5 Hour Footage Trimmed

Game Changer’s runtime was 5 fours, but a lot of footage was trimmed. It is widely known that Ram Charan and Shankar’s Game Changer was on sets for more than 3 years. Director Shankar shot a lot of footage as Dil Raju gave a free hand to him.

Shankar put a record budget for the film which is around 450 Cr. In the latest interview, the Robo director revealed that the actual footage of the film was 5 hours, but the team trimmed many good scenes for crispy runtime. He also said he was unhappy with trimming good scenes. Netizens were shocked to know that Game Changer’s runtime was 5 fours, but a lot of footage was trimmed.

Now, it is clear that this was the reason for the record budget for the film. A director like Shankar has to go to the shoot with clear planning. Trimming the film is directly throwing the hard-earned money in the dustbin. Sadly, because of the bad planning from Shankar, the budget increased and resulted in huge losses for Dil Raju.

Sankranthiki Vasthunam Is Sankranthi Winner

Sankranthi 2025 saw Venkatesh, Balakrishna and Ram Charan clash with their respective films. While Ram Charan’s Game Changer was a political action drama the one with the biggest budget and Shankar as the director, Balayya joined hands with Bobby for a commercial entertainer.

Venkatesh on the other hand reunited with Anil Ravipudi and managed to create massive buzz right from its announcement. Now with all the releases out, it appears that Sankranthiki Vasthunam is the winner of the race.

Even content-wise Sankranthiki Vasthunam received better reviews and word of mouth than other films. Box office-wise, this Venkatesh- Aishwarya Rakesh and Meenakshi Chaudhary starrer will do much more than the other two films. It is already doing double of other two films.

Daaku Maharaaj is 2nd choice for audineces has emerged as yet another Box-office success for Balayya. Game Changer, on the other hand is the least preferred option for the audience and is heading towards big failure

Ram Charan’s surprising Thanks note for Game Changer

Game Changer which released amid great expectations fell short at the box office. The film achieved a below par reviews and word of mouth. But the lead Actor of the film, Ram Charan released an official note thanking the fans for making Game Changer a success. This felt very surprising.

Ram Charan expressed his gratitude to fans, audience and media for making their hard work truly worth it. He also promised on delivering performances that make all proud. He also wished happy Sankranthi before finishing. Generally, when a film fails at the box office, Actors remain silent and some come up with apology letters.

But Ram Charan interestingly came up with a thanks note and declared the film a success when the film is struggling to pull audience to the theatres even with the advantage of festival holidays.
