Naveen Polishetty has delivered a career-altering triumph with Anaganaga Oka Raju, which has exploded into a full-fledged box office phenomenon this Sankranthi. Defying festive competition and market pressures, the film has crossed a staggering ₹100.2 crores gross worldwide within just five days of release, marking a watershed moment in Naveen’s journey and firmly establishing the film as one of the fastest and biggest successes of the season.

From its very first show, the film has enjoyed extraordinary word of mouth, packed theatres, and strong repeat family audiences. This overwhelming response translated into a rare achievement, as all distributors crossed breakeven within just four days, firmly establishing the film as a clean blockbuster across territories.

With this sensational run, Naveen Polishetty registers his fourth consecutive blockbuster, further cementing his reputation as one of the most reliable and bankable stars in Telugu cinema. Each film has expanded his market, and Anaganaga Oka Raju now stands tall as his career-highest grosser.

The film has also delivered impressively overseas. In the United States, Naveen Polishetty completes a hattrick of $1 million-plus films, a milestone achieved by only a select few Telugu actors. Even more notably, Anaganaga Oka Raju is rapidly racing towards the coveted $2 million mark, with collections holding strong on a daily basis. Overseas distributor Moksha Movies played a key role in this success through strategic screen placement and excellent show holding during the competitive festive window.

Back in India, the Andhra Pradesh and Telangana box office has shown exceptional strength. Despite intense Sankranthi competition, distributors backed by Sithara Entertainments ensured wide release, strong screen counts, and prime slots, all of which translated into sustained footfalls and record-breaking numbers.

Driven purely by content, comedy, emotion, and audience connect, Anaganaga Oka Raju has clearly emerged as the definitive Sankranthi entertainer. Trade circles are already calling it one of the biggest content-driven blockbusters in recent times, with strong repeat value and long-run potential.

With ₹100.2 crores in just five days, breakeven in four days, a USA million-dollar hattrick, and four consecutive blockbusters to his credit, Naveen Polishetty is in a league of his own. And with the run still accelerating, Anaganaga Oka Raju is firmly marching towards even bigger milestones.
