Sankranti 2026 Box Office: Chiranjeevi Dominates, Three Films Emerge Profitable
The 2026 Sankranti season once again reaffirmed its stature as Tollywood’s most dependable box office window. Irrespective of reviews and word of mouth, all festival releases managed to post healthy revenues, making it a rewarding period for exhibitors and distributors despite intense competition.
Out of the five films that hit screens, three emerged as clear winners. Megastar Chiranjeevi’s Mana Shankar Vara Prasad Garu stood tall as the outright Sankranti champion, delivering strong collections across centres. Naveen Polishetty’s Anaganaga Oka Raju and Sharwanand’s Nari Nari Naduma Murari also concluded the festive run as profitable ventures, ensuring safe returns for buyers.
On the other hand, The Raja Saab and Bhartha Mahasayalaku Wignyapthi started on a promising note but gradually lost momentum. While The Raja Saab struggled due to mixed reviews, Bhartha Mahasayalaku Wignyapthi failed to convert decent reports into sustained box office traction.
As expected, footfalls dipped significantly once the festival holidays ended. However, Mana Shankar Vara Prasad Garu continues to dominate the box office with steady occupancies. Both Anaganaga Oka Raju and Nari Nari Naduma Murari are managing respectable weekday collections, holding their ground in a competitive post-festival scenario.
The upcoming extended weekend, aided by the Republic Day holiday on Monday, is expected to play a decisive role for the Sankranti releases. The three-day window could provide a final boost, especially for films looking to maximise revenues before an inevitable decline from next week.
While Mana Shankar Vara Prasad Garu is likely to sustain even after the weekend due to the absence of major new releases, Anaganaga Oka Raju and Nari Nari Naduma Murari face a tougher road ahead post-Monday. Both films are banking heavily on the long weekend to consolidate their box office performance.
For The Raja Saab and Bhartha Mahasayalaku Wignyapthi, the curtains have largely come down, with both films failing to maintain momentum beyond the festive period.
