One megastar. One blockbuster. Forty-odd films. That sums up Telugu cinema in the first three months of 2026, and it is as lopsided as it sounds. The first quarter followed a pattern that is becoming increasingly familiar in Tollywood: a festive rush in January that flatters the numbers, a February that exposes the pipeline’s fragility, and a March that arrives with hope but leaves with headlines of another big star’s box-office stumble. Sankranthi week always inflates Telugu cinema’s January numbers, and 2026 was no different. The difference this time was just how stark the gap was between the season’s one genuine success and everything else. Prabhas’ The Raja Saab arrived on January 9 carrying enormous weight.

The film grossed Rs. 6 crore approx in its third weekend, with another Rs. 1 crore plus coming yesterday on Monday. While this is the third week for the film, it is more like the fourth, as it was released on a Monday and yesterday was the twenty-second day of its run. The total box office collection for the film stands at Rs. 237 crore approx. Out of that, Rs. 209 crore approx has come from the Telugu states. Last week, that seemed like the potential closing number for it, but now it has achieved that already and will likely be reaching around Rs. 215 crore.
