Naveen Polishetty maintains his track record as an young star with immense box office potential. His latest release Anaganaga Oka Raju released on Sankranthi and has sustained amidst the competition to become a big blockbuster. In fact, it is only the second film to succeed this festive season after Chiranjeevi's Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu that is clearly the festival winner by a countrymile.
Prabhas' The Raja Saab was expected to replicate the Chiranjeevi starrer but it is set to end its theatrical run with huge losses for the producer and distributor. Meanwhile, Anaganaga Oka Raju has already raced past the Rs 60 crore mark globally in seven days and is a massive blockbuster, given its low budget and distribution rights.
In India, the film has collected approximately Rs 38.50 crore nett in seven days and on its eighth day, it will touch Rs 40 crore nett with the cross being approximately Rs 47.50 crore. Overseas, the film is driven by fantastic performance in North America where it has registered $1.50 million of the total $1.98 million collected overseas.

After eight days, the India gross for Anaganaga Oka Raju is expected to be touching Rs 66-67 crore. With the festival period over, there will be a fall in collections but Anaganaga Oka Raju should continue to collect steadily even if through lower figures. It also remains to be seen how the release of Border 2 affects the two Sankranthi blockbusters.
Dhurandhar emerged a historic India across India and the collections were immense in the Telugu states. Border 2 isn't expected to replicate that performance but it should still take a huge start, given the Border nostalgia. Anaganaga Oka Raju will hope to retain enough screens to run for a few more weeks before the inevitable OTT release.
