The box office performance of Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu has been nothing short of remarkable, with the film starring Chiranjeevi amassing a staggering Rs. 162 crore globally within just five days of its release. But here's where it gets even more exciting: industry projections suggest that this film is set to cross the coveted Rs. 200 crore milestone by the end of its first week, specifically by Sunday.
As of January 17, 2026, at 11:35 AM IST, the film continues to thrive at the Indian box office, having garnered approximately Rs. 23.25 crore on the latest day. This brings the total earnings from the Indian market during its first five days to around Rs. 134.25 crore. In addition, the film has pulled in about Rs. 28 crore (or USD 3.15 million) from international markets, culminating in a worldwide gross of approximately Rs. 162.25 crore.
Despite experiencing a slight decline of 10 percent in collections compared to Thursday, it’s important to note that this dip mainly occurred outside of the Telugu-speaking regions. Notably, APTS figures remained stable, and Andhra Pradesh actually reported an increase in ticket sales compared to the previous day. Although Nizam's revenue did taper off slightly—an expected occurrence—the two main Telugu states collectively earned an impressive Rs. 21 crore yesterday, which effectively pushed their combined total beyond the Rs. 100 crore mark, reaching around Rs. 117 crore. The Coastal Andhra region has shown exceptional performance, with many cinemas operating at full capacity—a trend that is anticipated to continue for several more days.
