1000 cr Collections For Tollywood in Summer

In the holiday season, always films rush to theatres in huge numbers. Owing to school going kids and college kids eagerly waiting for films, also employees getting holidays, the Summer season is one of the biggest time where films can flock in big numbers apart from Sankranthi and Dasara seasons.

While the previous Dasara and the following Sankranthi 2018 seasons haven't showered luck on Tollywood big time, this Summer it is going to be massive. The season got opened grandly by Ram Charan's Rangasthalam on March 30th, the start of the summer holidays season. The film has so far collected 200 crores from the box office (gross figures) and is still running big. If the numbers provided by producers are to be believed, Mahesh's Bharat Anu Nenu amassed 190 crores already, while Allu Arjun's Naa Peru Surya also clocked 80+ crores. In all likelihood, these films collected 470 crores already and might add another double-digit in the month of May. 

In the same month, we have other films like Chal Mohan Ranga, Krishnarjuna Yuddham, Mercury, Achari America Yaatra and Kanam also hitting cinemas. Though none of them succeeded heavily, they might have made 30+ crores cumulatively. Daring the hot sun and soaring winds, audiences found solace in watching these films, no matter what the talk is. That makes already Tollywood pocketing 500+ crores 'gross' in its bank accounts. 

With only 30 days remaining for the holidays to come to an end, we have some interesting films like Mahanati, Mehbooba, Taxiwala, Nela Ticket, Officer, Na Nuvve and Jamba Lakidi Pamba hitting the cinemas. Even if they got average talk, this half dozen of films might amass around 100 crores gross. In all likelihood, Tollywood is going to laugh its way to the bank with around 600-650 crores money into its pocket. 

Adding to this, the satellite sales of each film, digital and audio rights, and other dependent business are likely to make another 400 crores easily. It's no exaggeration to say that Telugu Film Industry is doing around 1000 crores business only in Summer. Perhaps that is the reason why they can't take the witch hunting of some TV channels and allegations of few celebs very easily.
