Mana ShankaraVaraprasad Garu Maintains Strong Box Office Performance
The Telugu film Mana ShankaraVaraprasad Garu continues to demonstrate impressive staying power at the box office, now completing a successful 12-day theatrical run. According to the latest reports from industry tracking sources, the film has maintained solid collections despite entering its second week.
Day 12 Collection and Overall Performance
On its twelfth day in theatres, Mana ShankaraVaraprasad Garu earned approximately Rs 2.60 crore in India net collections. This brings the film's total India net collection to an impressive Rs 181.75 crore after twelve days of screening across the country.
The film had already accumulated around Rs 179.15 crore during its first eleven days, making the Day 12 collection a significant addition to its overall performance. While daily numbers have shown a gradual decline from the peak first week collections, industry analysts note that the film is holding well during its second week, which is a positive indicator of audience interest.
Weekly Collection Pattern
The collection pattern reveals a typical post-first-week trend:
- Day 10: Rs 4.2 crore
- Day 11: Rs 3.3 crore
- Day 12: Rs 2.60 crore
This gradual decline in daily collections is considered normal for films after a strong opening week, and the current numbers suggest Mana ShankaraVaraprasad Garu continues to attract audiences despite the downward trend.
Theatre Occupancy Details
On its most recent screening day, the film recorded an overall Telugu occupancy of 22.27%, showing reasonable audience turnout across different show timings:
- Morning shows: 13.88% occupancy
- Afternoon shows: 19.51% occupancy
- Evening shows: 27.44% occupancy
- Night shows: 28.26% occupancy
The increasing occupancy from morning to night shows indicates stronger audience preference for later screenings, with night shows maintaining the highest attendance at nearly 30%.
Film Details and Cast
Mana ShankaraVaraprasad Garu is directed by Anil Ravipudi and features a star-studded cast led by Chiranjeevi Konidala in the primary role. The film also includes prominent performances from Nayanthara, Catherine Tresa, Venkatesh, and Sachin Khedekar in significant supporting roles, contributing to its commercial appeal.
Audience Reception and Reviews
The film has received mixed but generally positive reviews from online viewers and critics. While some audience members have expressed satisfaction with the entertainment value, others have noted areas where the film could have improved.
One viewer commented, "Well the movie is not completely bad, a decent watch. Only few comedy scenes actually worked out which is pretty bad considering it is a comedy centric film. The main plot of the movie is not anything new but not bad and the major positive about the film is Chiranjeevi sir and songs. The songs were good but the music is just okay. The reason for comedy not being great is it doesn't feel natural like it does in Anil sir's previous films like Supreme. I really want to see Anil sir try different genre cause the action scenes were actually pretty good in this film. Overall a decent watch but not really anything great."
Another review highlighted comparative disappointment, stating, "I set out to watch this film because of my opinion towards Sankranthiki Vasthunnam...This time, it's with Chiranjeevi and my expectation was, even if it gets closer to the prior though not reaching the prior's level, it would be good enough for me. The sad thing is, I think there's a large gap left between the two with MSVP lagging way behind."
Despite these mixed opinions regarding specific elements like comedy execution and plot originality, the film's box office performance indicates that it continues to find substantial audience support across theatres.
Industry Context and Future Prospects
The sustained collections during the second week suggest that Mana ShankaraVaraprasad Garu has managed to maintain audience interest beyond the initial hype period. The film's performance is being closely monitored by industry observers as it approaches the crucial third week, which will determine its long-term box office sustainability.
With its current collection trajectory and reasonable theatre occupancy rates, the film appears positioned to continue its successful run in the coming days, adding to what has already been a commercially profitable venture for its producers and distributors.
