Chiranjeevi’s Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu storms past ₹292 cr, eyes ₹300 cr milestone
HYDERABAD: Megastar Chiranjeevi’s festive spectacle, Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu, has not only conquered the Sankranthi box office but has also shattered previous records. Under the direction of crowd-pleaser Anil Ravipudi, the film wrapped up its first week with a roaring success, racing toward the illustrious 300 crore rupee milestone worldwide and raising the bar for future releases.
The film showed unwavering momentum after its explosive debut, holding strong throughout the week. On day seven alone, it raked in a striking ₹31 crores, pushing its global tally to nearly ₹292 crores. Industry experts predict the film will soar past the ₹300 crore global mark within hours of the second weekend, a rare achievement for Telugu cinema.
The film’s domestic run has been nothing short of historic. By its seventh day, Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu claimed the title of All-Time Highest Share Collected Film in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, underscoring its magnetic appeal. It is now on the verge of overtaking the director’s previous blockbuster, Sankranthiki Vasthunnam, to become Anil Ravipudi’s most successful film yet.
Overseas, the film is making waves of its own. In the vital North American market, it has amassed an impressive $2.96 million and is poised to break the $3 million barrier. This triumph has already surpassed the previous bests of both Chiranjeevi and Anil Ravipudi in the region, setting a fresh benchmark for the star-director partnership.
Trade analysts credit this phenomenal run to a winning blend: Chiranjeevi’s timeless charisma, Ravipudi’s knack for mixing emotion with mass appeal, glowing word-of-mouth, and strong family turnout. Together, these elements have crowned MSG the unchallenged Sankranthi champion, eclipsing its festive rivals.
The film has already delivered profits for its investors and has entered its second week with packed houses across regions.
