    What's the story

    Prasanth Varma's Telugu superhero film HanuMan—starring Teja Sajja—has made history by becoming the biggest Makar Sankranti blockbuster in Tollywood's 92-year history.

    The film—released pan-India on January 12—has dominated the box office despite facing competition from biggies like Guntur Kaaram, Captain Miller, and Merry Christmas.

    On its fourth Saturday (day 23), the film's earnings surged to Rs. 3.5 crore, leaping from Rs. 1.45cr on Friday.

    Context

    Why does this story matter?

    HanuMan has shattered multiple box-office records for a Telugu film, grossing over Rs. 280cr worldwide.

    It stands out as the highest-grossing Indian film of 2024 so far and the eighth-highest-grossing Telugu film worldwide.

    Starring Sajja, Varalaxmi Sarathkumar, Amritha Aiyer, and Vinay Rai, the film unfolds in the fictional village of Anjanadri.

    It narrates Hanumanthu's journey, who gets the power of Lord Hanuman to rescue Anjanadri's people.

    Lauded for its impactful visual effects (VFX), HanuMan truly defied expectations.
