In a little over two weeks, the first quarter of the year 2023 will come to a close. There have been five major successes in Telugu cinema so far. Balagam, a low-budget, unconventional film, surprisingly did well at the box office. The Telugu film industry has seen some encouraging numbers in the first two months of the year.
