Mumbai: After strong Sankranti releases gave Telugu cinema a healthy box office run, February has turned unusually quiet for Tollywood. With no major star-driven or big-budget Telugu films releasing this month, theatres are leaning heavily on small films and a wave of classic re-releases to stay active. As a result, February is shaping up to be more about nostalgia than new cinema.

Sankranti saw multiple notable films releasing and delivering good business. Soon after, the box office witnessed a dry spell, with only a couple of small films arriving and failing to create buzz.

Valentine’s Week Belongs to Classics

The real excitement in February comes from re-releases, especially during Valentine’s Week. Instead of new love stories, audiences are revisiting timeless films filled with memorable music and emotions.

February Telugu Releases
