Sankranti season in Tollywood is highly anticipated by film fans and filmmakers alike due to the series of holidays and family audiences it attracts. In 2024, the Sankranti festival season witnessed the release of four crazy major films Guntur Kaaram, Hanuman, Saindhav, and Naa Saami Ranga, making it the all-time biggest Sankranti for Tollywood.
Hanuman emerged as the top grosser, raking in around 290Cr, followed by Guntur Kaaram with over 180Cr gross. Naa Saami Ranga performed decently while Saindhav failed at the box office.
Together, these films amassed a gross collection of Rs 525Cr, surpassing the previous record set in 2020. However, in terms of Telugu language collections alone, 2020’s Sankranti remains the biggest in history, while 2024 claims the top spot when considering collections across all languages.
The Sankranti season continues to be a lucrative period for Tollywood releases, drawing in massive audiences and box office success.
