‘Irumudi’ Nears ₹200 Crore Worldwide as Ravi Teja’s Blockbuster Run Continues

Ravi Teja’s ‘Irumudi’, directed by Shiva Nirvana, continues its remarkable theatrical run, emerging as one of the biggest Telugu cinema success stories of 2026. After 12 days in theatres, the emotional action drama is reported to have grossed around ₹186.5 crore to ₹190 crore worldwide, with the ₹200 crore milestone now firmly within reach.

The film, which was released on August 21, 2026, has recorded particularly strong business in the Telugu States. Trade reports indicate that ‘Irumudi’ has crossed ₹150 crore gross across Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, marking a major career milestone for Ravi Teja. The success has also placed him among a select group of Telugu stars whose films have achieved this level of business in the two states.

Centred on the emotionally intense relationship between a father and his young daughter, ‘Irumudi’ blends family drama with action and themes linked to Ayyappa Deeksha and the pilgrimage tradition. The emotional narrative has played a key role in generating sustained word-of-mouth support, helping the film remain competitive even during its second week.

The film stars Ravi Teja, Priya Bhavani Shankar and Baby Nakshatra, with Sai Kumar, Ajay Ghosh, Ramesh Indira and Swasika among the supporting cast. G.V. Prakash Kumar’s music has also been widely appreciated, adding to the film’s emotional impact.

‘Irumudi’ opened strongly and crossed the ₹100 crore worldwide mark within its first five days, before continuing its steady run through the second week. The film’s domestic collections have remained robust despite competition and changes in screen allocation following other major releases.

With the film still drawing audiences and maintaining encouraging occupancy levels, trade observers are now watching closely to see whether it can cross the ₹200 crore worldwide milestone in the coming days. If the momentum continues, ‘Irumudi’ could also build towards a significantly higher lifetime total, strengthening its position as a major comeback blockbuster for Ravi Teja.
