The Two Underdogs in Sankranthi Race

This Sankranthi, the Tollywood box office is set to witness one of the most competitive festival seasons in recent times. Five Telugu films are hitting the screens during the festival, creating huge buzz and excitement among audiences. With so many releases arriving together, the big question remains which film will finally emerge as the winner.

At present, most of the attention is on the big budget films Raja Saab and Mana Shankara varaprasad garu. These are the most talked about movies of the season, and audience expectations are naturally high. With stars like Prabhas and Chiranjeevi leading these projects, strong openings at the box office are almost certain.

Along with these big releases, Ravi Teja’s Bharta Mahashayulaku Wignyapthi, Naveen Polishetty’s Anaganaga Oka Raju, and Sharwanand’s Naari Naari Naduma Murari are also part of the Sankranthi race. Among them, Ravi Teja’s film is positioned as a mid range entertainer.

Based on star value and budget, Anaganaga Oka Raju and Naari Naari Naduma Murari may be seen as smaller films. However, both look like ideal festival entertainers that should not be taken lightly. They carry strong entertainment value and are aimed at family audiences.

Naveen Polishetty’s Anaganaga Oka Raju stands out for its fun driven approach. Known for his sharp comedy and strong involvement in the writing process, Naveen has ensured that the film maintains a lively tone. The promos and promotional activities have highlighted the fun element, and if the content connects, the film could deliver unexpected box office numbers.

Sharwanand’s Naari Naari Naduma Murari also looks promising. Despite the mixed response to his recent films, this movie appears to be a clean comedy entertainer. The teaser suggests plenty of humor, and the film comes from the director who delivered the full length comedy Samajavaragamana. Releasing the film during such stiff competition reflects the producer’s confidence in the content.

With intense competition at the box office, these two films could emerge as surprise performers. If word of mouth turns positive, theese two underdogs may end up giving tough competition to the bigger films this Sankranthi.
