Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu Box Office Day 4: The Sankranti festive period has worked strongly in favour of Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu, as the Chiranjeevi starrer has officially entered the ₹100 crore club at the Indian box office within just four days of its release. Directed by Anil Ravipudi, the action-comedy has emerged as one of the biggest Telugu performers of early 2026.
According to trade estimates from Sacnilk, Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu earned ₹22 crore on Day 4, registering a 13% jump compared to Day 3. The rise is largely credited to the Sankranti holiday effect, which significantly improved footfalls across single screens and multiplexes. With this, the film’s India net total now stands at ₹101.85 crore, making it the second Telugu film of 2026 to cross the century mark.
The film benefited from the underwhelming performance of The Raja Saab, which allowed it to emerge as the audience’s preferred festive entertainer despite receiving mixed word of mouth. Interestingly, The Raja Saab, headlined by Prabhas, remains the first Telugu film of 2026 to enter the ₹100 crore club, while Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu follows closely behind.

Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu Box Office Day 4
Day-wise India Net Collection:
- Day 0 (Previews): ₹8.60 crore
- Day 1: ₹32.25 crore
- Day 2: ₹18.75 crore
- Day 3: ₹19.50 crore
- Day 4: ₹22 crore
- Total: ₹101.85 crore
Produced on an estimated ₹200 crore budget, the film has already recovered around 51% of its investment within four days. Its India gross collection stands at approximately ₹120.18 crore, indicating solid theatrical traction during the festive window.
However, trade analysts believe achieving a “hit” verdict may be challenging. As per industry benchmarks, the film would need to earn nearly ₹400 crore India net to be declared a hit, which could be difficult given the mixed audience response after the holiday period.
Still, crossing ₹100 crore in four days firmly establishes Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu as a commercial success at the box office, reinforcing Chiranjeevi’s continued star power in Telugu cinema.
