The year 2026 has nearly completed its first eight months, and it has been an encouraging period for Tollywood, especially from June onwards.
The industry has seen a series of successful films, making the last few months one of the better phases in recent times.
Maa Inti Bangaram delivered a big solo hit for Samantha and has emerged as one of the highest-ROI films of the year so far.
Lenin brought much-needed success for Akhil Akkineni and Bhagyashri Borse, while Kiran Abbavaram’s Chennai Love Story added another hit to Tollywood’s winning streak.
Varun Tej’s Korean Kanakaraju also turned out to be a success, giving the actor a much-needed hit after a long gap.
Suriya scored with Vishwanath and Sons, continuing his successful run after Karuppu, also known as Veerabhadrudu.
Now, Ravi Teja’s Irumudi has joined the list as another major hit, giving the actor a strong comeback at the box office.
However, amid all these successes, Srinivasa Mangapuram, which marked the debut of Jaya Krishna Ghattamaneni, turned out to be a major disappointment.
The film failed to impress in terms of content and presentation and also struggled at the box office, making it the odd one out in an otherwise successful phase for Tollywood.
