The reported collection figures for Sankranthi films are being announced, and they sound rather strange.
The makers claim that Game Changer has crossed ₹300 crores, Daaku Maharaj has surpassed ₹100 crores, and Sankranthiki Vastunnam has reached ₹80 crores within just two days.
However, as producer Naga Vamsi once stated in an interview, only the producer truly knows the real numbers, and there is no obligation to disclose them.
The producer alone is aware of the actual costs and earnings of the film.
When figures are announced—whether ₹500 crores or ₹1,000 crores—the public has no choice but to either believe them or not.
In the past, collection figures were not officially released, citing concerns over income tax implications. However, many producers have since clarified these matters with authorities, stating that the figures are openly released for promotional purposes. This has alleviated earlier concerns, allowing greater transparency.
The massive figures released for Game Changer have shocked many, with some questioning their authenticity. Fans and industry insiders continue to debate the validity of these numbers.
While various media outlets and social media platforms report different figures, none of them seem to align.
Ultimately, if you choose to believe the numbers released by the producer, that is your choice. However, it is important to approach these claims with skepticism, as conflicting reports are common.
In terms of production costs, theatrical, and non-theatrical revenues, it appears that Game Changer may result in a loss for its producer.
On the other hand, Daaku Maharaj seems to be a safe venture, while Sankranthiki Vastunnam is shaping up to be a success for its producer.
