Breakeven Territory Success
The film 'Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu' has achieved a significant milestone by reaching the breakeven point across all seven territories in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. This accomplishment is particularly noteworthy because big-budget films with ₹100 crore-plus theatrical business seldom break even in every region of the Telugu states.

This accomplishment demonstrates the film's widespread appeal and ability to attract viewers across multiple territories, contributing to its financial success.
North American Heights
‘Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu’ has achieved considerable success in North America. The film's overseas collection reached approximately Rs 35.25 crore (about $4.2 million), making it Chiranjeevi’s highest-grossing release in the region. This surpassed the lifetime earnings of 'Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy' in North America. The film is also on track to exceed $3 million in the US alone. This success highlights the strong appeal of Chiranjeevi's film among international audiences, particularly in North America, and contributes to its overall box office triumph.
The Raja Saab's Struggle
In contrast to 'Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu's' success, Prabhas-starrer 'The Raja Saab' faced some challenges in maintaining its momentum. Despite early expectations, the horror comedy directed by Maruthi witnessed a decline at the box office. The film collected Rs 3.5 crore on its second Friday, followed by Rs 3 crore on Saturday. This downward trend continued on the second Sunday (Day 10), with the film earning just Rs 2.5 crore, according to early estimates. As a result, 'The Raja Saab' managed only Rs 9 crore over its second weekend, taking its total net domestic collection to Rs 139 crore, indicating a slower performance compared to 'Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu'.
