With the Sankranti festival and holiday week coming to an end, the crucial phase for this season’s releases has begun. Five films hit theatres during the festive period, and among them, Chiranjeevi’s Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu, Sharwanand’s Nari Nari Naduma Murari, and Naveen Polishetty’s Anaganaga Oka Raju emerged as the clear performers at the box office.
As regular weekdays set in, collections are expected to slow down, making this week a key indicator of the films’ true box-office strength beyond the festive advantage.
In contrast, The Raja Saab and Bhartha Mahasayulaku Wignyapthi are struggling, with low footfalls at ticket counters. Their performance over the next few days will determine how long they can sustain in theatres.
With no major releases lined up this week, the top-performing films are expected to maintain a steady run. The coming days will be crucial in shaping their final box-office tallies.
