The Telugu movie Mazaka, starring Sundeep Kishan and Rao Ramesh, was released in theaters on February 26, 2025, coinciding with the Mahashivratri holiday. It is a family romantic comedy-drama film. Despite the holiday release, the movie did not perform well at the box office on its opening day.
Box Office Collection
According to reports from Sacnilk, Mazaka earned approximately ₹1.75 crore on its first day. The film had an overall occupancy rate of 25.36% in Telugu theaters. The morning shows had an occupancy rate of 20.09%, which slightly increased during the afternoon (26.24%) and evening (22.01%) before reaching its peak at night with 33.08%. These numbers were considered disappointing for a film that was expected to do well due to the festival release.
Budget and Expectations
Reports suggest that Mazaka was made on a budget of Rs 25 crore. However, there is no official confirmation about this figure. Before its release, expectations were high, with many believing it would perform strongly at the box office. The film received positive responses from audiences and critics, but the financial numbers did not match these reactions.
