Sankranthiki Vasthunam Box Office Collections: Venky Starrer Continues Blockbuster Run

The Telugu film industry has witnessed a phenomenal success with the release of "Sankranthiki Vasthunam," starring Venky. The movie has continued its victorious march at the box office, grossing over Rs. 16 crore in the Telugu states and Rs. 17 crore nationally on Friday. This brings the four-day running total for the film to an impressive Rs. 79 crore in India, with a staggering Rs. 72 crore coming from the Andhra Pradesh and Telangana (APTS) region alone.

Regional Performance

Coastal Andhra Region

The film has been a massive hit in the Coastal Andhra region, where the fourth-day collections surpassed the first-day numbers. In the northern parts of the region, particularly in Vizag and the Godavari districts, the collections remained steady, matching the third day, which was the biggest day of the run. The southern districts of Guntur and Krishna saw a slight dip as the holiday impact began to subside.

Nizam and Ceded Regions

In the Nizam and Ceded regions, the holiday period has ended, but the collections remain excellent. These regions, especially Nizam, are expected to see a growth in business over the weekend, with Sunday potentially recording the best day of the run. Coastal Andhra is likely to remain relatively flat over the weekend as it is already in the holiday period.

Box Office Milestones

"Sankranthiki Vasthunam" is poised to cross the Rs. 100 crore mark in the Telugu states by Sunday, with projections suggesting it could exceed Rs. 105 crore. From there, the film is expected to aim for the Rs. 150 crore milestone. The highest-grossing films during the Sankranti period are "AVPL" (Rs. 196 crore) and "Waltair Veeraya" (Rs. 172 crore). Currently, "Sankranthiki Vasthunam" is likely targeting the collections of "Waltair Veeraya," but if it maintains strong holds over the next few days, it could potentially surpass "AVPL" as well.
