Megastar Chiranjeevi’s Sankranthi sensation Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu is showing its sheer domination at the box office, ever since arrived in cinemas 6 days ago. The film, which opened to massive Sankranthi crowds, has not slowed down for a moment, with its momentum has only grown stronger with each passing day. Chiranjeevi’s unmatched pull among family audiences, paired with Anil Ravipudi’s humour-filled narrative, Victory Venkatesh’s special appearance, and Nayanthara’s impactful presence as the leading lady, has created the kind of theatrical surge rarely seen in recent years.

MSG has achieved what most big films take weeks to accomplish. The movie reached breakeven in all territories, domestic and overseas, in a mere six days, with a stunning 261 Cr+ worldwide gross already on the board, and is marching towards 300 Cr gross. The movie has surpassed final sales of They Call Him OG (2.78), recording 2.81 M+ ticket sales in 6 days.

The movie stood second among the all-time highest share-collecting films in AP and TS with 13.85 Cr. Sankranthiki Vasthunnam, also directed by Anil Ravipudi, holds the top spot with a 14.05 Cr share. Earlier, the film shattered RRR’s industry record to emerge as the highest-grossing film on Day 5.

The overseas run has been equally explosive. In North America, MSG has already raced past the $2.6 million mark, and has become the biggest grosser for Chiranjeevi in the region, breaching his previous best of Sye Raa. All signs point toward a $3 million+ gross very soon- positioning it as the biggest overseas grosser ever for Anil Ravipudi as well.

MSG is not just a Sankranthi winner, but it’s emerging as an industry-hit, among regional movies. And once again, Chiranjeevi proves why he remains the ultimate star of Telugu cinema.
