Megastar Chiranjeevi\u2019s out-and-out family entertainer Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu, directed by Blockbuster Hit Machine Anil Ravipudi, has exploded at the box office, delivering the most sensational start ever for a regional film. Right from the premiere shows, MSG showed signs of domination, and the momentum only intensified on release day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In an unprecedented feat, the film clocked 488.32K ticket sales on BookMyShow within 24 hours, setting a new all-time record for regional cinema on the platform, an achievement even more impressive for a family entertainer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The box office fireworks didn\u2019t end there. MSG shattered Chiranjeevi\u2019s personal best Day 1 worldwide gross, raking in 84 crore+ on opening day. This stands as the highest-ever Day 1 for the Megastar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A standout aspect of this massive opening is the sheer volume of family audiences storming theatres. Their overwhelming turnout has given the film long-term strength, signalling strong footfalls during this festive season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What makes the success even more remarkable is the film\u2019s release on a Monday, breaking the conventional belief that only Friday releases enjoy massive openings. Despite the weekday release, the numbers have been explosive, and early trends show that today\u2019s bookings remain exceptionally strong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In North America, MSG is on a dream run. The film has already crossed $1.7M and rising, marching confidently towards the $2M milestone, a rare feat for a family entertainer. This again is highest grosser for Chiru in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With the Sankranthi holiday wave beginning from tomorrow, MSG is perfectly set to convert its extraordinary start into an unstoppable blockbuster run.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
