Telugu Films January 2023 Box Office Report

Megastar Chiranajeevi's high-voltage mass entertainer movie Waltiar Veerayya dominated the Sankranti release by making a record at box-office collections. The movie which had huge star casts like Ravi Teja, Shruti Hassan, Regina Cassandra, and many more did a fantabulous job. Bobby who is captain of the ship utilized the given opportunity to show the megastar in a mass avatar and his fans were very happy to see Chiranjeevi in this role after many decades. Waltair Veerayya was released with Balakrishna's mass entertainer Veera Simha Reddy but at the box office, Waltiar Veerayya won the Sankranti race.

Sankranti festival season is always special for Natasimham Balakrishna because some of his films created industry hits on Sankranti releases. Director Gopichand Malineni did a tailor-made character for Balayya with a powerful role. The main attraction of the film is Sai Madhav Burra's high-voltage punch dialogues. Veera Simha Reddy made profitable collections at the box office within a few days of its release. Thaman's song and background music added extra value to the film. Veera Simha Reddy became a superhit at the box office.

Thala Ajith Kumar's 'Thunivu' dubbed version Tegimpu did not done well in Telugu states at box-office as audience were busy in watching Waltair Veerayya and Veera Simha Reddy.

Tegimpu movie had strong message to the society on how bank sectors are looting the money from people. But this not a new for Ajith's film at Telugu states because only few movies got good reciption here and most of the time his dubbed films get flop verdict at Tollywood Box-office.
