Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu, starring Chiranjeevi and Nayanthara, has emerged as one of the biggest Telugu blockbusters of 2026. Released during the Sankranthi festive season, the film has shown extraordinary box office strength not just in India but also across overseas markets. Here is a complete and updated story on how much the film has collected in India and worldwide so far.
India Box Office Collection: Strong Domestic Run
From Day 1 itself, Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu opened to massive numbers at the Indian box office. The film benefited heavily from the festival holidays and strong family audience turnout in Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, and other Telugu-dominated belts.
India Net Collection (Day 1–8)
- First Week (Day 1–7): approx ₹157.75 crore
- Day 8 Collection: approx ₹7.21 crore
- Total India Net (Till Day 8): around ₹165 crore
Maintaining double-digit collections throughout the first week and earning over ₹7 crore on its first weekday after the holiday period highlights the film’s solid word-of-mouth and repeat value.
India Gross Collection: Theatre-Level Impact
When converted to gross figures (including taxes), the film’s India gross collection stands close to ₹196–200 crore by the end of Day 8. This places it among the top-grossing Telugu films in India in recent times, especially for a non-pan-India release.

The overseas run has played a crucial role in pushing the film past major global milestones.
