Mithra Mandali, the new Telugu comedy flick directed by Vijayendar S, hit theaters today, October 16, 2025, bringing a dose of chaotic fun with its story of four carefree buddies whose lives flip upside down when one falls for a politician’s feisty daughter. Starring Priyadarshi Pulikonda, Niharika NM, and a bunch of hilarious sidekicks like Vennela Kishore and VTV Ganesh, the movie’s got folks talking about its energetic vibes and relatable friendship moments.
Early reactions from audiences are mixed, with some calling it a light-hearted laugh riot perfect for hanging out with friends, though others say the jokes feel a bit over-the-top and loud at times. Theaters saw an average occupancy of around 13.46% on opening day, which is okay for a mid-week release without massive star power.
Social media is buzzing with a few clips of the funny scenes, and fans are sharing how the gang’s chemistry reminds them of their own squads, but the talk isn’t overwhelming.
Since it’s the first day, there’s no past collections to compare, but the film was made on a modest budget of about 4 crores, keeping things smart by shooting in real locations instead of fancy sets. Pre-bookings were steady but not huge, with around 8,000 tickets sold on BookMyShow for pre-sales, and the trailer got over a million views, creating some decent hype among comedy fans.
Paid premieres yesterday in spots like Anantapur pulled in small grosses around 22,000 rupees, helping spread the word. With Diwali coming up, the team hopes festive crowds will give it a lift, but early signs point to a slow start for this small-scale entertainer.

Future Box Office Prediction
Looking ahead, Mithra Mandali might pick up a little over the weekend if positive word spreads, maybe reaching 4-5 crores in the first few days. With mixed reviews liking the laughs but pointing out pacing hiccups, it could wrap up around 6-8 crores in India, covering costs and making a modest profit. Overseas could add a touch more, but it’ll hinge on holding steady against bigger films on the horizon.
In the end, Mithra Mandali starts off steady but quiet, showing that buddy comedies can still pull in crowds on a smaller budget. If you’re up for some easy laughs with a group, grab tickets before the holiday buzz kicks in.
