In a cinematic event that's had everyone buzzing more than a hive of bees on a sugar rush, Chiranjeevi's magnum opus, "Indra," made a triumphant return to theaters in stunning 4K, redefining what a re-release can achieve at the box office. On its first day back on the silver screen, "Indra" didn't just walk; it sprinted past expectations, setting the stage for what might be remembered as the most successful re-release in Indian cinema history.


The film, originally roaring into theaters back in 2002, was re-released on August 22, 2024, coinciding with Chiranjeevi's birthday, turning the occasion into a double celebration for fans. The anticipation was palpable, and the box office numbers reflected that excitement with the precision of a well-oiled intergalactic spaceship.
