Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu, directed by Anil Ravipudi and led by Chiranjeevi, continues to demonstrate resilience at the Indian box office into its third week. On Day 16, the film earned an estimated ₹2 crore in gross collections across India, reflecting a moderate decline from the prior day yet sustaining interest amid weekday scheduling constraints. This performance underscores the movie’s ability to retain audience engagement through positive word-of-mouth and strong regional support in Telugu-speaking areas.
Early estimates for Day 17 suggest gross collections of approximately ₹1.5 crore in India, based on initial theatre occupancy data from platforms like BookMyShow and industry tracking sources. Occupancy levels averaged around 20-25 percent in key cities such as Hyderabad and Chennai during morning shows, indicating a stable but expected weekday dip. The fluctuation represents a decrease of about 25 percent from Day 16, aligning with typical patterns for films in extended runs.
Overall trends remain encouraging, with the film benefiting from limited competition and consistent footfall in Tier-2 and Tier-3 markets. Compared to its robust opening week, the current phase shows a natural slowdown, but analysts anticipate cumulative collections to push beyond significant milestones soon. This positions the movie as a notable success in the 2026 Sankranthi lineup.
