Ravi Teja Roars Back: Irumudi Dominates Weekend Box Office

Ravi Teja’s latest film, Irumudi, has delivered a striking comeback for the actor at the weekend box office, drawing attention across Tollywood. After several years of struggling to find box office success, Ravi Teja’s fortunes turned with Irumudi, which opened to packed houses and continued to gain momentum with each show on Friday. The film’s performance surprised not only fans but also industry circles, as ticket demand outpaced supply despite an increase in the number of screens.

Directed by Shiva Nirvana and produced by Mythri Movie Makers, Irumudi’s opening weekend numbers were robust. The film saw a significant jump in collections on its second day, with Sunday’s figures topping the weekend. Reports indicate that even late-night Sunday shows were filled with family audiences, a sign of the film’s broad appeal. The demand was so intense that many moviegoers were unable to secure tickets, even as distributors worked to add more screenings.

This surge in interest marks a notable shift for Ravi Teja, whose recent films had struggled to draw crowds. The success of Irumudi is also seen as a revival for director Shiva Nirvana, who returns to form with this project. Industry sources described the ticket rush as a rare occurrence in recent years, highlighting the gap between audience demand and available seats.

While Irumudi led the weekend, Suriya’s Vishwanath and Sons also performed well in urban centers, maintaining steady collections in its second weekend. Korean Kanakaraju managed decent numbers in its limited release. However, it was Irumudi that dominated both in the Telugu states and overseas, offering a much-needed boost for Ravi Teja and his team.
