Pawan Kalyan Meets Injured Woman Activist of Janasena Party

It goes without saying that Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu has emerged as the biggest and most successful Sankranti 2026 release. The film has grossed over ₹250 crore worldwide, firmly securing its position as the number one festive blockbuster. Its performance in the North American market has been equally impressive, crossing $3 million and steadily moving toward the $3.5 million mark, resulting in substantial profits for distributors.

Claiming the position of the second biggest hit of Sankranti 2026 is Anaganaga Oka Raju, starring Naveen Polishetti and produced by Naga Vamshi. Made on a modest budget of approximately ₹42 crore, the film has already collected more than ₹72 crore gross worldwide. In North America, it is nearing the $2 million milestone and has comfortably entered the profit zone, bringing much-needed relief and confidence to the producer.

The third major success of the season is Nari Nari Naduma Murari, starring Sharwanand and produced by Anil Sunkara. While its initial collections were comparatively slow due to a limited theatrical release, the film has been steadily gaining momentum. As it enters its second week with a significantly wider release, box-office numbers are expected to rise further, especially in light of the positive word of mouth it has been receiving.

Overall, Sankranti 2026 has turned out to be a profitable season for Telugu cinema, with multiple films finding commercial success across domestic and overseas markets.
