This Sankranthi season is shaping up to be one of the most crowded in recent times, with multiple Telugu biggies lining up for release. Adding to the festive clash is the arrival of films from other languages as well, most notably Tamil superstar Thalapathy Vijay’s Jana Nayagan. With just 14 days left for release, USA advance bookings are beginning to reveal an interesting early trend between two of the most anticipated Indian films overseas — Jana Nayagan and Raja Saab.
Early numbers clearly highlight a contrast in market strategy, show allocation, and audience response. Jana Nayagan has so far grossed $101,238 from 210 shows, selling 4,906 tickets across the United States. These figures indicate a controlled and focused release plan, with limited screens but healthy turnout per show. The film appears to be building momentum gradually, banking more on curiosity around the content and Vijay’s pull rather than aggressive expansion at this early stage. With promotions expected to peak closer to release, there is strong potential for a sharp upward surge in bookings.
In contrast, Raja Saab has opted for a much wider release strategy. The film has collected $163,055 from a massive 1,019 shows, with 5,669 tickets sold so far. While the per-show occupancy is comparatively lower, the sheer scale of show allocation underlines the strong confidence exhibitors and distributors have in the film’s commercial prospects. The emphasis here is clearly on visibility and reach across markets.
Overall, Raja Saab currently leads in terms of total gross and screen count, while Jana Nayagan stands out for its solid engagement and efficient utilization of shows. With two crucial weeks remaining, the overseas pre-release battle is far from settled, and the coming days will determine which film gains the decisive upper hand as Sankranthi approaches.
