“Mana Shankara Varaprasad Garu” Day 1 Collections

Chiru’s “Mana Shankara Varaprasad Garu” exceeded expectations, collecting ₹84 crore gross worldwide on day one, including paid premieres. The numbers match “Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy,” giving Chiru two ₹80 crore openers. Despite a Monday release, strong festive buzz, Anil Ravipudi’s family appeal and Venkatesh’s presence boosted collections ahead of Sankranthi.
