Sankranthi 2024 box office clash?

After the amazing box office clash in 2020 between Sarileru Neekevvaru, Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo, Darbar, Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior, and Panga, Indian cinema witnessed another interesting clash this year with films like Guntur Kaaram, HanuMan, Naa Saami Ranga, Saindhav, Captain Miller, Ayalaan, Merry Christmas and Mission: Chapter 1 releasing during the Sankranthi week. Six out of eight films mentioned did well at the box office with HanuMan stealing the top spot as it had a new hero-director duo with a unique concept. The film wasn't expected to earn over ₹250 crores worldwide, giving strong competition to OG stars like Mahesh Babu, Nagarjuna, and Venkatesh Daggubati among others. However, with good word of mouth, the film made on a budget of ₹16 crore with more ₹16 crore on its marketing, earned over 700% profit at the box office. HanuMan directed by Prasanth Varma stars Teja Sajja in the lead role.
