Chiranjeevi’s latest film, Mana Shankara Varaprasad Garu, has made a significant mark at the box office, quickly surpassing ₹100 crore within just two days of its release.
Box Office Success
Released on January 12, 2026, Mana Shankara Varaprasad Garu has seen an impressive collection since its debut. The film grossed over ₹65 crore on its opening day, which included earnings from paid previews on Saturday. Following a solid opening, it maintained its performance, recording a 40% drop in collections during its second day, as it netted ₹19.50 crore on Monday. The domestic total stands at ₹61.10 crore net (₹73.25 crore gross) after its first two days.
International Performance
The film also made waves internationally, earning $2.3 million on its opening day and exceeding $3 million in total international collections by day two. This strong overseas performance contributed significantly to its overall gross, pushing it comfortably past the ₹100 crore mark worldwide.
Dethroning Competitors
With its success, Mana Shankara Varaprasad Garu has dethroned Prabhas’ The Raja Saab, which was anticipated to be a major competitor during the Pongal holiday. While The Raja Saab had a commendable opening day with ₹53 crore, it has suffered a sharp decline due to negative reviews, earning only ₹4.85 crore on Monday.
Film Overview
Directed by Anil Ravipudi, Mana Shankara Varaprasad Garu is characterized as a traditional Chiranjeevi action entertainer, also featuring notable talents such as Nayanthara and a special appearance by Daggubati Venkatesh. Positioned strategically for release just ahead of the Pongal holiday, the film is expected to continue its positive trajectory at the box office.
