This Sankranthi was initially expected to see seven releases, including two dubbed films. However, those dubbed releases were eventually dropped, leaving only five films to hit theatres. Of these, three managed to perform well at the box office.
With the festive season now over, their collections have begun to see a slight decline. On the other hand, every Friday sees at least one new release in Tollywood. However, this week stands out as the only week with no Telugu theatrical release so far in 2026.
Even Telugu-dubbed Kollywood films such as Parasakthi have stayed away, failing to capitalise on the vacant release window.
As a result, Sankranthi releases will continue to dominate screens this week. For movie lovers seeking fresh content, OTT platforms remain the only option.
