Telusu Kada Day 1 Box Office Collections: Can Siddhu Jonnalagada Recover?

Telusu Kada Day 1 Box Office Collections: Young, fresh-looking Telugu actor Siddhu Jonnalagadda made a comeback on the silver screen with Telusu Kada, a heart-touching romantic drama that had its theatrical release on 17th October 2025. Raashii Khanna and Srinidhi Shetty co-star with Siddhu to explore the themes of love, heartbreak, and self-discovery with a much-anticipated emotional tone.

Telusu Kada, directed by Neeraja Kona, shows love as a mixture of human emotions and relationships, with hardly any attention paid to action or glamour in the commercial sense. The audience reaction has not been too enthusiastic; given the softer music, pleasant visuals, and mature storytelling, some sections may have felt it was not at all for them.

Day 1 Box Office Collection

Telusu Kada collected approximately ₹2 crore (gross) on the very first day of its release in India. The film opened decently with around 25-30% occupancy in the morning shows, which later picked up very well in the evening shows at urban centers such as Hyderabad and Vizag.

The collections cannot be dubbed that great for a mid-range Telugu release; but they still indicate a strong cautious response, usually the case for emotional drama per se, which is hugely dependent on word of mouth. The lack of mass-appeal elements or any kind of high-octane action terribly at the beginning stages has limited its appeal, which might turn around over the weekend with some positive responses from the audience.

Reasons for Its Modest Start

Some of the reasons influencing the soft opening of the film would be the failure of the previous outing for Siddhu-Jack under expectations that affected the pre-release buzz, and also concern for audience sharing with festival releases at the same time. But people did appreciate the emotional depth of Telusu Kada and the chemistry between the male and female leads, which means growth is possible if reviews are consistent.

Slow Commences but with Hope

Telusu Kada with ₹2 crore on Day 1, has a scope to grow as long as positive word of mouth survives. Collections will undergo a slow rise toward the Diwali weekend. For Siddhu Jonnalagadda, if it touches the audience’s heart over these coming days, it can indeed be termed a decent story from the success angle.
