Andhra Audience Picks One Film Due to Ticket Hike on this Sankranthi clash. Sankranthi is a very big festival in Andhra Pradesh, and normally, the festival can accommodate 3-4 releases. There are many instances where all the released films worked well at the box office. At Least 2 films posted good numbers even with average reviews and word of mouth during the Sankranti Period.
But this Sankranthi, most Andhra audiences choose to watch only one film, Sankranthiki Vasthunnam. Balakrishna’s Daaku Maharaaj opened to unanimous positive reviews and WOM. Normally it should have delivered big profits for such a response, but it is settling around breakeven. Game Changer was the biggie for Sankranti 2025, and even this film did not receive a complete bad talk, and the talk was watchable. At least it should have delivered some decent numbers during the festival days, but it failed. Andhra Audience Picks One Film Due to Ticket Hike on this Sankranthi clash.
Only Sankranthiki Vasthunam is getting big collections for this Sankrnathi, and the difference in the audience’s mind is likely to be the ticket hike.

Game Changer went with a 175 Rs hike, while Daaku Maharaaj had Rs 135 and Sankranthiki Vasthunamm had less hike than its competitors with a Rs 125 hike. With this many audiences choose only one film to watch in theatres for this festival
