Mana Shankara Varaprasad Garu worldwide box office collection day 2: Chiranjeevi has had a triumphant return to the big screen with his latest release, Mana Shankara Varaprasad Garu, holding steady at the box office after a strong opening. The film has crossed the ₹100 crore mark at the worldwide box office in just two days and has also dethroned Prabhas’ The Raja Saab from the top spot at the Indian box office.
Mana Shankara Varaprasad Garu box office update
Mana Shankara Varaprasad Garu, directed by Anil Ravipudi, had a strong opening, grossing over ₹65 crore worldwide on Sunday (including Saturday paid previews). The film then held steady at the domestic box office on Monday, registering a mere 40% drop. The film collected ₹19.50 crore net on Monday. The film’s domestic collection stands at ₹61.10 crore net ( ₹73.25 crore gross) after two days.
Internationally, the film had a solid start, earning $2.3 million on the opening day. The film’s overseas collection now stands at over $3 million after two days, which takes its worldwide gross easily past ₹100 crore.
Mana Shankara Varaprasad Garu dethrones The Raja Saab
Prabhas’ The Raja Saab was set to be the biggest Pongal release this year. It justified that tag somewhat with a ₹53-crore opening day in India last Friday. But since then, due to negative word of mouth, the film has been in free fall. On Monday, The Raja Saab earned just ₹4.85 crore, less than one-fourth of what Mana Shankara Varaprasad Garu managed on the same day. The Chiranjeevi film is likely to see an upswing in collections for Pongal, further strengthening its position.
