Daaku Maharaaj has finally hit the screens and started strong at the box office. On day one, the film earned ₹22 crore net in Telugu, an impressive figure. As per the latest update, day two collections are expected to be even better, with strong occupancy reported across the Telugu states.
This positive momentum is a good sign for the film, especially with the festive holidays expected to further boost collections in the coming days. On the other hand, Game Changer, which was released on January 10, 2025, started with solid numbers.
However, negative reviews on social media have significantly impacted the film’s occupancy. Compared to its first three days, the Ram Charan starrer is now seeing a sharp decline in footfalls. With Daaku Maharaaj picking up steam, this has added to the concerns for Game Changer's box office performance.

In summary, Daaku Maharaaj's occupancy has surged, whereas Game Changer's has dropped. The Ram Charan film has only a few more days to capitalize on the holiday season before the festive period ends, which will make it even harder for the film to recover at the box office.
Meanwhile, Daaku Maharaaj is benefiting from strong word of mouth, as Balakrishna’s films tend to perform well with positive feedback. However, both films will face significant competition when the last Sankranthi release, Sankranthiki Vasthunam, hits the screens on January 14, 2025.
The Venkatesh starrer has created a massive buzz globally, with bookings already selling like hotcakes. Once it is released, both Daaku Maharaaj and Game Changer will face challenges to sustain their momentum at the box office.
For now, the Balakrishna starrer is dominating the Sankranthi box office. It will be interesting to see how much Daaku Maharaaj manages to earn in the days ahead. Stay tuned for further updates.
