Many Telugu and non-Telugu celebrities have often remarked that they’ve never seen audiences like the Telugu audiences, who embrace actors as if they were their own family. This immense love for cinema, irrespective of language, is evident time and again. Currently, audiences are reveling in the massive success of Prabhas’ Kalki 2898 AD.

As the first half of 2024 concludes, an interesting pattern emerges. This year’s first blockbuster from Tollywood is Hanuman, featuring young hero Teja Sajja and aspiring director Prasanth Varma. This sensational superhero movie, which blends mythological elements with the present day, stands out as exceptional. This concept helped the movie gross over Rs. 300 crore.

The last film released in the first half of 2024 is Kalki 2898 AD, which is based on mythology (Mahabharata) but set in a futuristic world. The Nag Ashwin-directed movie has grossed around Rs. 400 crore until today.

Both these films, rooted in mythology, have become sensational hits at the box office. This trend proves that audiences nationwide have a strong appreciation for films that present mythology engaging and captivatingly. It will be interesting to see how many more such mythologically themed movies will be released in the future.
