After showing a strong hold during the Republic Day period, Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu has begun to witness regular weekday drops.
Despite this, the film continues to post steady numbers at the box office, helping it push its overall tally forward.
This sustained momentum has enabled the big-budget entertainer to comfortably recover its massive costs and enter the safe zone.
In the process, it has also helped Chiranjeevi script a historic milestone among senior Tollywood stars.
On its third Wednesday (Day 17), the Telugu action-comedy collected an estimated â¹1.34 crore net, registering a drop of 36.19% compared to Day 16’s â¹2.1 crore net.
With this, the film’s total India net collection has reached an impressive â¹200.69 crore, marking a smooth entry into the prestigious â¹200 crore club. After adjusting for GST, the film’s domestic gross stands at approximately â¹236.81 crore.
With this achievement, Chiranjeevi has created history in Telugu cinema. Until now, no senior Telugu hero had managed to deliver a â¹200 crore net grosser at the Indian box office.
The megastar has now become the first to achieve this landmark, underlining his enduring box-office pull even at this stage of his career.
It remains to be seen how much further Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu can go in the coming days, but its place in Tollywood history is already firmly secured.
