When Ravi Teja makes entertaining films, the audience loves it. He closes out the year with “Dhamaka,” which has become a box office smash. Though the film was panned by critics, the general public adored it. The super hit songs and comedy have really connected with the audience. Trinadh Rao directed “Dhamaka,” which stars the vivacious Sreeleela as the heroine.
Bangarraju
“Bangarraju,” the sequel to “Soggade Chinni Nayana,” was released as a Sankranthi special in 2022.

Bheemla Nayak
The official remake of the Malayalam hit “Ayyapanum Koshiyum,” “Bheemla Nayak,” was released in 2008. Pawan’s aggressive performance and Thaman’s solid songs ensured the film’s strong start. However, because the original was already available online, sales slowed and the film ended up being above-average. Saagar Chandra directed this film, which was produced by Sithara Entertainments.
Sarkaru Vaari Paata
Director Parasuram was given a massive opportunity to take his film “Sarkaru Vaari Paata” to the next level, but he failed to capitalise on it. The film, which also starred Keerthy Suresh, was a straight-up commercial with hit songs. Though the film debuted with a bang during its first weekend, its box office performance slowed later. Because the pre-release business was set at a high price, the film performed well at the box office.
F3
“F3” was one of the most eagerly anticipated sequels to “F2”. Despite the fact that the plot was different, the cast remained the same. The Anil Ravipudi comedy drama struck a chord with the family audience, but it did not perform as well as expected, finishing as an above-average fare. Dil Raju produced the film and profited handsomely from its non-theatrical rights.
Brahmastra (Dub)
This Ayan Mukherjee film took over eight years to complete. It was finally released with much fanfare and grossed well in Hindi, crossing the 200-crore mark. Rajamouli purchased the film in Telugu for a reasonable price and heavily promoted it. The Telugu version was a safe bet because it made money. Brahmastra was directed by Ayan Mukherjee.
Vikrant Rona
Kicha Sudeep aggressively promoted this film from the start, and it received good reviews. Because the Telugu theatrical rights were sold for a low price, the film only attracted a small audience and ended up being an average box office performer. One of the positives was Jacqueline’s hit song.
Karthi released his action drama “Sardaar” in Telugu after the success of Ponniyin Selvan. The film was released alongside three other Telugu films and received positive reviews from critics. As word of mouth spread, the film did well in its first week and finished as an above-average box office performer.
