Dhurandhar, The Raja Saab, Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu Box Office Update: Chiranjeevi’s film crosses Rs 190 crore in just 4 days, set to overtake Prabhas-starrer; Aditya Dhar addresses Dhurandhar 2 excitement

Dhurandhar, The Raja Saab, Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu Box Office Collection Worldwide Updates: While Dhurandhar has grossed over Rs 1311 crore worldwide, and Chiranjeevi's film has raked in Rs 100 crore in India, Prabhas' horror comedy continues to struggle.

Dhurandhar, The Raja Saab, Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu Box Office Collection Update: As always, Sankranthi brought with it a slate of major releases. This year, Prabhas and Chiranjeevi came with their much-awaited films, The Raja Saab and Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu. However, only one has emerged victorious so far. Veteran Chiranjeevi seems to have had the last laugh, as his film is not only enjoying decent word-of-mouth support but also impressive box office numbers. After a strong opening, it has managed to maintain steady momentum. For Prabhas, the story has been disappointing yet again at the ticket window. His movie The Raja Saab failed to resonate with audiences and is now earning in single digits. Meanwhile, in Hindi cinema, the festive season begun a month ago as Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar continues to break records more than 40 days into its run.

The Raja Saab Box Office Collection – Day 7

After completing a week in theatres, The Raja Saab has grossed Rs 130.40 crore at the box office, earning Rs 5.65 crore on its seventh day, as reported by trade tracker Sacnilk. The film, which opened with a bumper Rs 53.75 crore on day one, has seen a sharp decline in collections since. By the first Monday, earnings had dropped to single digits. The situation is particularly concerning considering the film’s reportedly Rs 300 crore budget, and in just one week, it has not even managed to cross Rs 150 crore domestically. The future for Prabhas’ current release appears bleak.

Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu Box Office Collection – Day 4

Released three days after The Raja Saab, Chiranjeevi’s Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu has now grossed Rs 100 crore in India by its fourth day, on which the film earned Rs 22 crore on Thursday. Notably, this is higher than its third-day earnings of Rs 19.5 crore, which coincided with the Makar Sankranti holiday. Indeed, the film is performing better than The Raja Saab and is likely to maintain a strong hold over the weekend, reflecting sustained audience interest.

Dhurandhar Box Office Collection – Day 42

Meanwhile, Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar continues its golden run. The film first became the highest-grosser of 2025 and has now become the fourth-highest grossing Indian film domestically (net collection). On its 42nd day, it earned about Rs 3.40 crore, taking its domestic net collection to over Rs 869.80 crore, as shared by the makers. Its worldwide earnings are even more remarkable, having grossed over Rs 1311.01 crore so far, surpassing Yash’s KGF Chapter 2, which collected Rs 1215 crore. Even after six weeks, Dhurandhar continues to compete with new releases like The Raja Saab and Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu. All eyes are now on Dhurandhar 2, slated for Eid 2026, which will clash with Yash’s upcoming actioner Toxic.
