Anaganaga Oka Raju Crosses $1 Million in North America in Just Four Days
Naveen Polishetty's latest film Anaganaga Oka Raju is making waves at the box office. The romantic comedy, which also stars Meenakshi Chaudhary, has quickly become one of the early success stories of 2026. Released on January 14, the movie has already achieved a significant milestone in North America.
Impressive Overseas Performance
The film crossed the USD 1 million mark in North America within just four days of its release. This feat highlights Polishetty's growing popularity among overseas Telugu audiences. The numbers tell a compelling story.
By Friday, Anaganaga Oka Raju had amassed USD 842K in the North American circuit. On Saturday, it added a strong USD 244K, pushing its cumulative total to USD 1.086 million. This rapid ascent into the million-dollar club occurred well before the end of the extended festive weekend.
This performance places the film among the top-performing Telugu releases of the Sankranti frame overseas. It is particularly notable given the stiff competition during the holiday corridor. Other films like The Raja Saab and Mana Shankar Varaprasad Garu were also vying for audience attention.
Strong Domestic Collections in India
The momentum is not limited to overseas markets. In India, Anaganaga Oka Raju is holding strong across various centers. The film benefits from festive footfalls, positive audience chatter, and Naveen Polishetty's signature comedy-driven entertainment.
The movie has collected Rs 27.55 crore net in its first four days. This impressive figure is aided by remarkably stable day-to-day trending. The collections show a consistent pattern.
- On the first day, the film collected Rs 6.15 crore.
- Day 2 witnessed an over 20% jump, with collections reaching Rs 7.40 crore.
- Friday and Saturday saw steady collections of around Rs 7 crore each day.
If the film maintains this momentum into Sunday and Monday, it could emerge as a confident start for Telugu cinema in 2026. The stable trending suggests strong audience approval and repeat viewings.
