The recently released horror thriller Eesha has turned out to be a clear Christmas winner, reaffirming that content continues to rule at the box office. Presented by Bunny Vas and Vamshi Nandipati, the film follows the success streak of their earlier hits Little Hearts and Raju Weds Rambayi, and has now emerged as a blockbuster success under the banners of Nandipati Entertainments and Bunny Vas Works.
Directed by Srinivas Manne and produced by Hem Venkateswara Rao under HVR Productions, with veteran filmmaker K.L. Damodar Prasad as presenter, the film features Akhil Raj, Trigun, and Hebbah Patel in lead roles, supported by Siri Hanmanthu, Babloo, and Prithviraj in pivotal parts.
Blockbuster Celebration Event
To mark its strong box office run, the Eesha team held a “Blockbuster Meet” where the producers and cast shared their excitement about the film’s overwhelming success.
Producer Bunny Vas expressed his happiness, stating,
“The real test of success is box office performance, and Eesha has passed with flying colors. The movie grossed ₹2.2 crore on Day 1 across the Telugu states — exceptional for a small-budget film. The second-day numbers were equally strong, showing steady momentum throughout the weekend. I’m thrilled to see audiences returning to theatres and embracing our film wholeheartedly.”
Producer Hem Venkateswara Rao added,
“It’s fulfilling to see our hard work pay off. Every artist and technician gave their best to this project. This success wouldn’t have been possible without the efforts of Bunny Vas, Vamshi Nandipati, and Damodar Prasad garu, who believed in the film from day one.”
Team Reactions
Leading man Trigun shared his gratitude, saying,
“This weekend has been special for Telugu cinema — and for me. No recent film of mine has seen collections like this. Director Srinivas, who gave me my first break, has done it again with Eesha. Thanks to strong word of mouth, our collections are only growing. I hope Bunny Vas and Vamshi Nandipati continue to back strong content-driven films like this.”
Producer Vamshi Nandipati expressed heartfelt emotions toward the audience, remarking,
“The real guests of honor today are the audience. They made Eesha a blockbuster by showing up in theatres and spreading the word. The film might have horror elements, but its emotional depth and powerful climax make viewers reflect deeply. Eesha is truly a people’s blockbuster, and the credit belongs entirely to the audience.”
K.L. Damodar Prasad also highlighted the film’s remarkable traction, saying,
“It’s been years since I’ve seen people reselling movie tickets for higher prices — that’s how strong the demand for Eesha is! The film reinforces an old truth — good stories always find success, no matter the budget.”
With stellar word of mouth, solid weekend collections, and consistent audience turnout, Eesha stands as another shining example that content-driven Telugu cinema continues to thrive. The film’s success further cements Bunny Vas and Vamshi Nandipati’s reputation for backing quality, crowd-pleasing stories, proving once again that good content will always reign supreme.
