Get ready for a blockbuster revelation! Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu has taken the box office by storm, and it's not just a local phenomenon. This film, starring the legendary Chiranjeevi, is on track to become the top-grossing movie worldwide for the Megastar. But here's where it gets controversial...
By the end of this week, Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu is expected to reach a whopping Rs. 177-178 crore in the Telugu states alone, pushing the total box office collections to a staggering Rs. 200 crore. That's right, folks!
Let's break it down. On Tuesday, the film collected a solid Rs. 7 crore, which is a 30% drop from the previous day. But don't be fooled by the decline; it's a natural progression for a big opener, especially considering the holiday boost in Coastal Andhra is wearing off.
As of now, the film's total box office collections in India stand at an impressive Rs. 192 crore. And when we talk about the worldwide gross, it's an even more impressive Rs. 230 crore! That's right, surpassing the previous record holder, Syeraa Narasimha Reddy.
Here's a breakdown of the film's performance in India:
| Day | Gross |
| ---- | ---- |
| Monday | Rs. 42.00 cr. |
| Tuesday | Rs. 20.75 cr. |
| Wednesday | Rs. 21.50 cr. |
| Thursday | Rs. 25.75 cr. |
| Friday | Rs. 22.75 cr. |
| Saturday | Rs. 22.00 cr. |
| Sunday | Rs. 20.50 cr. |
| Monday | Rs. 9.75 cr. |
| Tuesday | Rs. 7.00 cr. |
| Total | Rs. 192.00 cr. |
And this is the part most people miss: the Telugu states have contributed a massive Rs. 168 crore so far, and that number is only expected to grow.
Now, let's talk about the territorial breakdown. The film has performed exceptionally well in AP/TS, Nizam, Ceded, and Andhra, collectively contributing Rs. 167.75 crore. Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, and Kerala have also shown love, with a combined gross of Rs. 21.25 crore. Rest of India and overseas markets have added another Rs. 10.75 crore to the total.
