Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu, the Telugu action drama featuring Chiranjeevi and Nayanthara, continues to demonstrate resilience at the box office despite entering its third week. On day 15, the film experienced a typical weekday drop following the weekend boost, collecting an estimated ₹2.50 crore net in India. This performance reflects a stabilization after the initial holiday surge during Sankranthi, with occupancy rates in major centers like Hyderabad and Chennai hovering around 20-25 percent based on available trade reports.
Early estimates for day 16 indicate a further hold, with the film projected to earn approximately ₹1.75 crore net in India. This figure suggests a moderate decline from the previous day, influenced by reduced show counts and competition from new releases. Industry analysts attribute the steady trend to positive word-of-mouth and Chiranjeevi’s star appeal, which have helped sustain audience interest beyond the opening period.
Overall, the movie has accumulated a commendable total thus far, crossing key milestones in both domestic and international markets. With overseas contributions remaining consistent, the worldwide gross is approaching ₹276 crore, positioning it as one of the top performers of 2026. Trade experts anticipate continued earnings in the coming days, though at a slower pace as it transitions into extended run territory.
