Ravi Teja’s Irumudi has wrapped its theatrical run with a staggering 455% return on investment, cementing its status as a Telugu blockbuster in 2026. The action drama, released on August 21, pulled in 194.27 crore net at the Indian box office — 12.7 times its opening-day collection of 15.3 crore, and added 22.45 crore overseas.
Combined, the film grossed 251.69 crore worldwide. Made on a 35-crore budget, it cleared 159.27 crore in profit, according to Koimoi’s breakdown. That’s not just a hit. It’s a reckoning for a career that had stalled after six consecutive underperformers.
The film’s success came at a propitious moment: Yash’s Toxic flopped in the Telugu market, creating space for Irumudi to surge. Directed by Shiva Nirvana and produced by Naveen Yerneni and Y Ravi Shankar under Mythri Movie Makers, the film stars Ravi Teja alongside Priya Bhavani Shankar, Sai Kumar, and Baby Nakshathra.
