Mana ShankaraVaraPrasad Garu Enters Elite Top 10: Chiranjeevi Starrer Ranks 8th in All-Time Highest Telugu First Week Net Collections

The 2026 Sankranthi season has rewritten the record books of Telugu cinema. Megastar Chiranjeevi's latest outing, Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu, has concluded its first week on a historic note, officially entering the elite list of the Top 10 highest-ever first-week net collections in the Telugu language. With a strong performance across both Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, the film has solidified its status as a certified blockbuster. Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu amassed a staggering ₹157.75 crore Telugu net in its opening seven days. With this achievement, the film has officially surpassed the first-week collections of Chiranjeevi's own previous record-holder, Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy (₹152 Cr), to become his highest opening-week grosser to date. The film currently sits at the 8th position on the all-time list, showcasing the Megastar's enduring pull at the box office. The performance is particularly noteworthy given the competitive landscape of the Top 10, which is dominated by massive Event Films like RRR, Pushpa 2, and Kalki 2898 AD. While these films benefitted from massive pan-India hype and higher ticket pricing, MSG has relied on immense family audience turnout and steady double-digit collections throughout its first week to climb the charts. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({})   The arrival of Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu in the Top 10 highlights the massive expansion of the Telugu film market over the last two years. While MSG has dominated the 2026 Sankranthi season to take the 8th spot, its performance follows the benchmark set by the previous year's festive blockbusters. Specifically, the 2025 Pongal release, Sankranthiki Vastunnam, continues to hold its ground in the elite list at the 10th position with a first-week collection of ₹137 crore. The fact that both recent Sankranthi/Pongal releases have secured spots in the all-time Top 10 underscores the immense potential of the holiday window for high-budget commercial entertainers. This double entry highlights the massive expansion of the Telugu market and the audience's appetite for commercial entertainers during holidays. As Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu enters its second week, it continues to hold strong, with trade analysts predicting a healthy run that could see it challenge the lifetime totals of several films positioned higher on this list.

Starting from Day 1 of the Border 2 release, audiences in cinemas will be the first to witness the return of the franchise on the big screen. This cross-promotion is expected to generate massive traction, given the overlapping audience base for both high-scale action spectacles. The sequel follows in the footsteps of a cinematic giant. Directed by Aditya Dhar, the first installment of Dhurandhar emerged as a generational blockbuster, redefining box office benchmarks for Indian cinema. The film featured an elite ensemble cast led by Ranveer Singh, alongside powerhouse performers like Sanjay Dutt, Akshaye Khanna, Arjun Rampal, and R. Madhavan. The plot, a sophisticated spy thriller centered on international espionage and high-stakes combat, resonated deeply with audiences globally. Currently continuing its record-shattering theatrical run, Dhurandhar has already achieved All Time Blockbuster status. The film's commercial performance remains extraordinary, having amassed a Worldwide Gross of ₹1283.5 crore to date. Its domestic journey has seen an India Net collection of ₹825.1 crore (Gross: ₹989.9 crore), while it continues to dominate international markets with an Overseas collection of ₹293.6 crore. The franchise's immense brand value was further solidified when Netflix acquired the combined digital rights for both parts in a landmark ₹130 crore deal, even as the first installment remains a top draw in cinemas. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({})   Following the monumental success of the first installment, Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge will see Ranveer Singh return as the primary lead, reprising his role as the undercover Indian agent Jaskirat Singh Rangi (Hamza). Director Aditya Dhar has finalized the return of the key ensemble cast, including Sanjay Dutt as SP Chaudhary Aslam, R. Madhavan as Ajay Sanyal, and Sara Arjun as Yalina. A significant development for the sequel is the return of Akshaye Khanna as Rehman Dakait; however, trade reports confirm his appearance is limited to pivotal flashback sequences that will explore the character's origins and deeper ties to the ongoing conflict. On the antagonistic front, the threat level is set to escalate as Arjun Rampal's character, Major Iqbal, takes a more central role following the events of the first film. The narrative will also revolve around the mysterious Bade Sahab, the shadow mastermind teased in Part 1, whose official casting is being kept under wraps by the makers for the theatrical release.With the sequel scheduled for theatrical release on March 19, 2026, the certification of the teaser marks the beginning of a high-decibel marketing campaign aimed at breaking the records set by its predecessor.

Mumbai, January 16 - Ranveer Singh-fronted much-awaited action thriller Dhurandhar 2 is firmly on course for its planned theatrical release on March 19, with director Aditya Dhar reportedly beginning work on the film's trailer cut, according to the report by Pinkvilla. The latest development puts the speculation around delays to rest and signals that post-production is progressing as scheduled. It is said that Dhar has started piecing together the trailer since the shoot of the movie was already completed with the first part. While the buzz for the movie is already sky high, the focus is now on shaping a powerful promotional cut. With the trailer edit underway, the makers are expected to roll out the first official promo in the coming weeks as part of the film's marketing build-up. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Meanwhile, the report also stated that Akshaye Khanna, who played one of the main antagonist roles as Rehman Dakait, has not shot any additional scenes for the sequel; however, he will be there in the movie despite meeting his end in the recently released Dhurandhar Part 1.

There are reportedly no plans for reshoots or supplementary filming involving the actor, contrary to the earlier reports saying he would be shooting for a week.

Bhoot Bhangla and Vvan: Balaji Motion Pictures Reshuffles 2026 Release Dates to Avoid Akshay Kumar vs Sidharth Malhotra Clash

Balaji Motion Pictures, led by Ektaa R. Kapoor, is gearing up for a monumental year in 2026 with two of its most high-profile projects. The production house has officially set the stage for the highly anticipated horror-comedy Bhoot Bhangla and the mysterious folk-thriller Vvan. These films represent a strategic blend of nostalgic superstar reunions and fresh, acclaimed directorial talent, aiming to capture a wide spectrum of the Indian audience. Originally, Balaji Motion Pictures had planned for both Bhoot Bhangla and Vvan to hit theaters on the same day, May 15, 2026. However, according to a report by Bollywood Hungama, this release strategy has been revised. The source noted that since the Akshay Kumar and Tabu starrer Bhoot Bhangla—directed by Priyadarshan—was pushed from its initial April 3 slot to May 15, it was deemed impractical for Ekta Kapoor to release two major home productions on the same day. Consequently, the Sidharth Malhotra-led Vvan has been rescheduled to a new date, which is currently being kept under wraps. The makers are expected to officially reveal this secret new release date on the film's highly anticipated first look poster today. Bhoot Bhangla marks the historic reunion of Megastar Akshay Kumar and legendary director Priyadarshan after a 14-year hiatus. The duo, responsible for cult classics like Hera Pheri and Bhool Bhulaiyaa, is returning to the horror-comedy genre—a space they practically defined for modern Bollywood. Adding immense acting weight to the project is Tabu, who has become a synonymous name with box-office success in this genre, alongside the talented Wamiqa Gabbi. The film is officially scheduled for a grand release on May 15, 2026, and is expected to be a major summer blockbuster. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({})   Simultaneously, the spotlight is on Vvan, a project that has generated massive intrigue since its initial announcement. Starring Sidharth Malhotra and Tamannaah Bhatia, the film marks the feature film directorial debut of Deepak Mishra, the mastermind behind the globally acclaimed Panchayat series. Vvan is described as a grounded folk-thriller, a genre that has seen a massive surge in popularity recently. In a significant update for fans, the official release date for this atmospheric thriller is expected to be announced today, January 16, 2026. The trade circuit is buzzing with high expectations for both films. Bhoot Bhangla is seen as a sure-shot winner given the proven track record of the Akshay-Priyadarshan combination. On the other hand, Vvan is being hailed as a potential dark horse, with Deepak Mishra's transition from OTT excellence to the silver screen being one of the most watched developments of the year. With these two juggernauts, Balaji Motion Pictures is firmly positioning itself at the forefront of the 2026 theatrical race.
