Naveen Polishetty is back in theatres with Anaganaga Oka Raju, a Sankranthi release that leans heavily on his signature comedy. Directed by Maari, the film has Meenakshi Chaudhary as the female lead and is set against a rural backdrop.
The film has opened to encouraging responses from both critics and audiences, helping it stay competitive among the season’s multiple releases. The early reception has reflected positively at the box office.
In the Nizam region, Anaganaga Oka Raju collected a share of Rs. 1.4 crore, excluding GST. It is a fair opening for a Naveen Polishetty film, especially considering the competition and the fact that the buzz stayed positive before release.
With Sankranthi falling today and the weekend following immediately, trade circles expect the numbers to move upward if family audiences continue to turn up.
Rao Ramesh, Tarak Ponnappa, Goparaju Ramana, Revanth, Chalaki Chanti and Bhadram play supporting roles. The film is produced by Naga Vamsi under Sithara Entertainments, along with Sai Soujanya for Fortune Four Cinemas. Music is by Mickey J Meyer.
