Irumudi is the latest Telugu film starring Mass Maharaja Ravi Teja in a completely different role from his previous outings. The transformation of the hero has emerged as one of the major talking points behind the film’s success, and fans are celebrating Ravi Teja’s new avatar.
In just around 40 hours of its release, Irumudi has achieved breakeven in many areas, which is a phenomenal feat in the current Telugu film landscape. The ticket sales are also going on a rampage, with trade circles surprised by the response, while Saturday night shows across the Telugu states are witnessing housefulls and tickets are becoming increasingly difficult to grab.
This is an unprecedented response for the film, which is now emerging as a potential career-best blockbuster for Ravi Teja. The opening day gross is reported to be more than Rs 25 crores, while the Saturday collections are expected to be significantly higher than day 1, given the extraordinary demand and word of mouth.
The biggest talking point is the Rs 150-200 crore lifetime gross projection in the Telugu states. Trade circles strongly believe that Irumudi could reach this range in the region if the current momentum continues, which would make it a phenomenal theatrical achievement for Ravi Teja. With the film still in its early stages, the final figure will depend on how strongly it sustains in the coming weeks.
Mythri Movie Makers has delivered another blockbuster with Irumudi, adding another jewel to its filmography. With the ticket sales remaining exceptionally strong, the film is shaping up as one of the biggest potential performers of 2026, and whether it can eventually move towards the Rs 200 crore mark and create history at the box office is something to watch in the coming days.
