CM Revanth Reddy అప్పు అడిగితే దొంగలా చూస్తున్నారు

This Sankranthi, the Tollywood box office is gearing up for one of the most fiercely competitive festival seasons in recent years. As many as five Telugu films are set to hit the screens simultaneously, creating massive buzz and anticipation among audiences. With multiple genres and star-driven projects arriving together, the big question remains — which film will ultimately emerge as the festival winner?

Currently, the spotlight is firmly on the big-budget spectacles Raja Saab and Mana Shankara Varaprasad Garu. These two films dominate pre-release discussions, thanks to their scale and the presence of superstars Prabhas and Chiranjeevi. Given their star power and wide release plans, strong openings at the box office are almost guaranteed.

Joining the Sankranthi race are Ravi Teja’s Bharta Mahashayulaku Wignyapthi, Naveen Polishetty’s Anaganaga Oka Raju, and Sharwanand’s Naari Naari Naduma Murari. Among these, Ravi Teja’s film is positioned as a mid-range commercial entertainer, banking on the Mass Maharaja’s festival appeal.

While Anaganaga Oka Raju and Naari Naari Naduma Murari may appear smaller in terms of budget and scale, they are shaping up as ideal festive entertainers and should not be underestimated. Both films strongly target family audiences and rely heavily on entertainment value rather than star-driven spectacle.

Anaganaga Oka Raju stands out with its fun-driven narrative. Known for his sharp comic timing and deep involvement in the writing process, Naveen Polishetty has ensured that the film maintains a lively and engaging tone. The promos clearly highlight the humor quotient, and if the content clicks, the film could deliver surprising box office numbers.

Similarly, Naari Naari Naduma Murari looks promising despite the mixed reception to Sharwanand’s recent outings. The film appears to be a clean comedy entertainer, with the teaser showcasing ample humor. Notably, it comes from the director of the successful full-length comedy Samajavaragamana, which adds to the expectations. Releasing the film amid such stiff competition also reflects the producer’s strong confidence in the content.

With intense competition across screens, these two films could well emerge as dark horses this Sankranthi. If word of mouth turns positive, the so-called underdogs may end up giving serious competition to the bigger releases, making this festival season truly unpredictable and exciting.
