The makers say that in eight days, Mana Shankara Varaprasad Garu has crossed ₹300 crore worldwide.
Mana Shankara Varaprasad Garu box office update
Mana Shankara Varaprasad Garu had a great Sankranthi festive period. On Monday, the first true test of the film took place as it entered its post-festive phase. And the film soared through with a 45% drop and ₹9 crore net domestic collection. After eight days, the film’s domestic collection now stands at ₹167 crore net ( ₹200 crore gross). The film’s overseas collections have considerably slowed down after a strong start on Monday. But it has still managed to earn over $4.5 million in the overseas markets. This takes its worldwide gross to almost ₹240 crore. The makers of the film claim that the gross is over ₹300 crore already. This makes Mana Shankara Varaprasad Garu the first Indian film to cross ₹300 crore at the box office in 2026.
Mana Shankara Varaprasad Garu breaks all time record
The ₹157.75 crore net collection for the film in its opening week is a new record for Telugu cinema, if we exclude pan-India films. Only bilingual or pan-India films produced in Telugu have managed to pass this mark, and that too, only just. For instance, Baahubali 2 had earned ₹202 crore net in its first week, while RRR minted ₹298 crore. But Telugu-only films like Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy and Sankranthiki Vastunnam lag behind Mana Shankara Varaprasad Garu with week 1 domestic collections of ₹152 crore and ₹137 crore respectively.
