After crossing the massive ₹300 crore gross mark within its first week, Mana Shankara Varaprasad Garu saw a slight slowdown during weekdays. However, the Republic Day long weekend gave the film a fresh boost, putting it back into strong box office form.
Ticket sales surged over the second weekend, with over one lakh tickets sold on BookMyShow on Saturday and more than 1.2 lakh on Sunday. With Republic Day being a national holiday, bookings continued to rise. The film has now touched around ₹350 crore worldwide, and the makers celebrated the milestone with a grand event in Hyderabad. Except for Nayanthara, the entire team attended, marking the occasion in a festive mood.
As the film completes two weeks in theatres, the coming days are crucial. Reaching the ₹400 crore mark is achievable, though it may take some time. With no major releases posing serious competition and only a small film arriving on Friday, the upcoming weekend looks favourable. If the film sustains its momentum, another strong weekend could push it closer to the next milestone, keeping fans eagerly engaged.
From a wider perspective, Mana Shankara Varaprasad Garu has set a new benchmark for regional cinema. Without being a pan-India release, it proved that a single-language film can still deliver extraordinary results. Director Anil Ravipudi’s understanding of the family audience played a key role. While his style may seem simple on the surface, replicating such success is far from easy.
Looking ahead, the film’s success has raised expectations for upcoming Telugu releases. Anil Ravipudi is reportedly preparing for a major project aimed at the 2027 Sankranthi season, with an official announcement expected soon.
