Winter storms had a decisive impact on the North American box office performance of the Sankranthi releases. During their opening week, market conditions were highly favorable, with strong occupancies and positive word of mouth across major territories.

Collections remained steady in the initial days, and there was widespread confidence that the films would comfortably achieve their projected milestones. Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu, Anaganaga Oka Raju, and Nari Nari Naduma Murari all showed solid traction, entered the breakeven zone early, and soon began generating profits.

However, severe winter storms in the following weeks significantly affected theater footfalls and disrupted the films’ momentum. As a result, while all three titles emerged as clear hits, they fell short of their ambitious dream targets.

Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu concluded its North American run at $3.3 million, narrowly missing the $3.5 million mark. Anaganaga Oka Raju wrapped up with $1.73 million against a projected $2 million, while Nari Nari Naduma Murari finished at $740,000, falling short of the $1 million milestone.

The adverse weather conditions ultimately capped what were otherwise highly successful theatrical runs. Under normal circumstances, all three films could have comfortably reached higher revenue brackets in the North American market.

Overall, the Sankranthi season delivered a major boost and much-needed relief to the Telugu box office, both in India and overseas, particularly in North America.
