Box Office Update: Chiranjeevi's Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu Outperforms Prabhas' The Raja Saab

Prabhas' fantasy horror-comedy The Raja Saab opened strongly with over Rs 53 crore net on day one but experienced steep declines in subsequent days, earning around Rs 119 crore net domestically by day five. The film struggled particularly in Hindi and Tamil markets and faces challenges sustaining weekday collections. Meanwhile, Chiranjeevi's Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu, released on January 12, received positive audience response, crossing Rs 60 crore net domestically and Rs 100 crore worldwide within two days, surpassing The Raja Saab's box office performance during the same period. Both films are competing during the Sankranti festival, with Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu showing stronger momentum and wider audience appeal.
