Sankranthi has been one of the most fiercely contested and fruitful release time for Tollywood. This is not a recent trend and for the past several decades some of the Telugu industry’s biggest stars such as NTR, ANR, Krishna, Sobhan Babu, Krishnam Raju, and Chiranjeevi among several others have released their movies for the festive season and delivered several iconic movies. Sankranthi has seen some of Tollywood’s most iconic films and industry hits
For the past couple of decades or so, the Sankranthi season has become even more competitive with 4 or even more movies releasing at the same time. This year was no different with as many as 6 movies lined up. Guntur Kaaram, HanuMan, Saindhav, Naa Saami Ranga, Eagle and Family Star were eyeing for the festive slot. This lineup later changed as Ravi Teja and Vijay Deverakonda’s films had to be postponed.
While Dasara and Summer seasons are also a hot favourite for movie lovers and filmmakers, Sankranthi holds a special place in everyone’s hearts. Let’s check out the films that reigned supreme at the Sankranthi box office for the last 2 and half decades.
