One of Prabhas’ most cherished films, Darling, has made a striking return to theatres, reigniting nostalgia among fans. Originally released during his pre-Baahubali phase, the film showcased the star in a breezy romantic avatar that continues to resonate with audiences even today.

Directed by A. Karunakaran, Darling has long held a special place in Telugu cinema for its lighthearted storytelling and engaging performances. Its re-release has now translated that emotional connect into strong box office numbers, with the film collecting an impressive ₹7.59 crore gross worldwide on day one.

The response has been overwhelming, with packed theatres and enthusiastic fans revisiting the film’s memorable moments, songs, and Prabhas’ effortless charm. The strong opening indicates sustained interest, and trade circles are closely watching how the film performs over the weekend and beyond.

The film features Kajal Aggarwal as the female lead, while Mukesh Rishi plays the antagonist. The supporting cast includes Prabhu, Tulasi, Shraddha Das, Dharmavarapu Subrahmanyam, and Srinivasa Reddy, all of whom contributed to the film’s enduring appeal.

Produced by Sri Venkateswara Cine Chitra, the film’s music by G. V. Prakash Kumar remains a major highlight, with several tracks still popular among listeners.

With such a powerful start, Darling’s re-release run is expected to continue drawing crowds, proving once again that timeless entertainers never lose their magic on the big screen.
