Akkineni Nagarjuna‘s recent film, Naa Saami Ranga, made a powerful entry into the box office competition during the Sankranthi festivities, facing tough contenders like Guntur Kaaram, Saindhav, and Hanu Man. Despite the strong competition, the movie had an impressive debut on Sankranthi Day 1, showcasing resilience.
The film’s financial outlook appears promising, with a notable achievement of 70% recovery of its estimated theatrical value within just three days. Valued at ₹18 crores for worldwide theatricals, Naa Saami Ranga has already garnered a share of ₹15+ crores from the box office.
Nagarjuna’s confidence in the film’s potential as a lucrative venture for domestic distributors is receiving widespread acclaim, hinting at the possibility of it becoming the second Sankranthi success story. The movie’s post-festive performance will be crucial, and if it sustains its momentum without unexpected declines, it could further solidify its position in the box office race.
Sankranthi appears to be a fortunate time for Nagarjuna, reminiscent of his previous successes with Soggade Chinni Nayana and Bangarraju. This success might serve as motivation for the Akkineni hero to consider another Sankranthi film in 2025.
