Following its release on August 21, 2026, the Telugu-language action drama ‘Irumudi’, starring Ravi Teja and directed by Shiva Nirvana, has demonstrated significant commercial momentum. The film, produced by Mythri Movie Makers and T-Series Films, centers on Trinath, a man undergoing the 41-day Ayyappa Deeksha spiritual vow to overcome personal struggles. By its twelfth day, the film’s worldwide gross rose to ₹186.50 crore. On day 12, it earned a net of ₹5.90 crore in India and ₹50 lakh from overseas markets. While domestic earnings saw a 10.6% dip from the previous day, the Telugu version remains the primary revenue driver. Having already surpassed its break-even point of ₹21 crore against a production budget of approximately ₹40 crore, the film is currently trending toward the ₹200 crore milestone. By its third weekend, the film demonstrated strong box office endurance, with its total gross in India reaching approximately ₹196 crore. Momentum increased during the third weekend, specifically on Sunday, which saw a 40 percent increase in daily gross compared to Saturday. On a global scale, the film’s 17-day worldwide gross is estimated at ₹217 crore, including ₹22 crore from overseas markets and ₹15 crore from Karnataka. With the upcoming Vinayaka Chavithi holiday period, the film is now positioned to target a ₹250 crore worldwide milestone. While the film faced controversy from the Andhra Pradesh Teachers’ Federation (APTF) regarding its portrayal of government schools, it has remained a major commercial success.
