Tollywood braces for a crowded year-end box-office race

Hyderabad

Tollywood is heading into a busy November and December, with star-led entertainers, thrillers and medium-budget films preparing to test their fortunes. The packed calendar will offer audiences a choice, while forcing producers to compete for screens and attention.

Sharwanand’s Bhogi is among November’s notable releases, scheduled for November 12. Mouli Tanuj Prasanth’s Donga Naa Koduku follows on November 13, while Vishwak Sen returns with ENE Repeat on November 19. Dulquer Salmaan’s Aakasamlo Oka Tara is slated for November 20.

The final week could bring a sharper contest, with Bellamkonda Sai Sreenivas’ Haindava and Rashmika Mandanna’s Mysaa listed for November 27. Their release plans, like several dates on the calendar, remain subject to change.

December opens with a busy slate on the fourth. Naga Chaitanya’s adventure thriller Vrushakarma and Vishwak Sen’s political action drama Legacy are scheduled to arrive, alongside Nithiin’s Alias Rukmini.

The Christmas window is likely to attract attention, with Nagarjuna’s King 100 and Balakrishna’s Dada listed for December 24. Kiran Abbavaram’s Reality is expected the following day.

With projects still adjusting schedules, the year-end race may see changes. For now, exhibitors and fans have plenty to watch.
