Surpasses Prabhas’ ‘The Raja Saab’
The Chiranjeevi-starrer has also overtaken Prabhas’ recent release ‘The Raja Saab’ in worldwide box-office collections, establishing a clear lead and reinforcing Chiranjeevi’s enduring star power.
Why the Film Is a Success
Directed by Anil Ravipudi, the film’s appeal lies in Chiranjeevi’s “vintage avatar”, marked by impeccable comic timing, lively dance sequences, and crowd-pleasing entertainment.
The movie also stars Nayanthara in the lead, with Venkatesh Daggubati making a crowd-favorite cameo appearance.
Audience and Critical Response
With over 80% occupancy during the Sankranti holiday period, the film has become the top choice for family audiences. Critics have praised the movie as an “out-and-out Chiranjeevi show,” highlighting its entertainment value and nostalgic charm.
Given its strong run, industry experts predict that MSVPG is well on its way to entering the ₹300 crore club soon.
