Chiranjeevi's Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu Creates Box Office History
Megastar Chiranjeevi's latest film Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu continues its spectacular run at the box office. The movie has emerged as the clear winner in this year's Sankranthi race, outperforming all competitors with impressive numbers.
Day 6 Collection Shows Strong Momentum
On its sixth day in theaters, Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu collected approximately Rs 18.50 crore in India. This brings its total domestic collection to around Rs 139.85 crore according to industry tracker Sacnilk. The film's producers have announced even more staggering global figures.
Shine Screens, the production company behind the film, revealed on social media that Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu has crossed the Rs 261 crore mark worldwide in just six days. The film is now racing toward the Rs 300 crore milestone, creating new records with each passing day.
Occupancy Rates Tell the Story
The film's success becomes even more apparent when examining theater occupancy rates. On Saturday, the movie recorded an overall Telugu occupancy of 61.07%. The numbers show a clear upward trend throughout the day:
- Morning shows began with 40.17% occupancy
- Afternoon shows jumped significantly to 62.38%
- Evening shows peaked at an impressive 72.15%
- Night shows maintained strong numbers at 69.58%
This consistent growth in viewership demonstrates the film's strong word-of-mouth appeal and audience engagement.
Surpassing The Competition
Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu has achieved something remarkable in its first week. The film has already surpassed the total Indian box office collection of Prabhas-starrer The Raja Saab, which earned around Rs 136 crore over nine days. Chiranjeevi's film accomplished this feat in just six days, highlighting its superior performance during the competitive Sankranthi season.
Director's Sankranthi Success Streak
Trade analyst Taran Adarsh recently highlighted director Anil Ravipudi's incredible track record. Ravipudi has now delivered four consecutive Sankranthi hits since 2019:
- 2019: F2
- 2020: Sarileru Neekevvaru
- 2025: Sankranthiki Vasthunam
- 2026: Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu
This consistent success establishes Ravipudi as a director who understands the Sankranthi audience perfectly.
International Performance Impresses
The film's success extends far beyond Indian borders. According to trade reports, Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu has performed exceptionally well in international markets:
- North America: Grossed $2.4 million within days of release
- Australia: Crossed A$353,000 and continues to grow
- United Kingdom: Reached £217,000 with strong momentum
These international numbers contribute significantly to the film's massive worldwide total of over Rs 261 crore.
What Makes This Film Special
The combination of legendary actor Chiranjeevi and hit-maker director Anil Ravipudi has proven to be a winning formula. Despite multiple releases during the festive Sankranthi period in Telugu states, Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu has emerged as the clear audience favorite. The film's success demonstrates Chiranjeevi's enduring star power and Ravipudi's understanding of commercial cinema.
As the film continues its theatrical run, industry observers predict it will maintain strong collections in the coming days. The positive audience response and high occupancy rates suggest that Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu will continue to break records and set new benchmarks for Telugu cinema.
