But which one will dominate the box office on this special night? Let’s dive into the details, history, collections, and why this Murari vs Jalsa showdown is the perfect way to ring in 2026.

Why Murari & Jalsa Are Getting Re-Released on the Same Day?

The trend of 4K re-releases has exploded in Tollywood, with classics like Pokiri, Businessman, Khaleja, and Kushi setting massive records.

• Murari 4K (directed by Krishna Vamsi) — Already a proven winner from its August 2024 birthday re-release, it’s returning for New Year’s Eve to give fans one last dose of Mahesh Babu’s early magic.
• Jalsa 4K (directed by Trivikram Srinivas) — Pawan Kalyan’s ultimate mass entertainer, known for its catchy DSP songs, stylish action, and powerful dialogues, gets a grand finale re-release to close the year on a high note.

Both films boast remastered visuals, enhanced Dolby sound, and are set to create festival-like vibes in theaters across Telugu states, USA, and other overseas markets. Advance bookings are already buzzing, with fans gearing up for midnight shows and New Year celebrations inside cinemas!

Murari Re-Release: Previous Performance & Expectations

Murari (starring Mahesh Babu, Sonali Bendre in her Telugu debut, Prakash Raj) is a cult supernatural family drama that blended romance, emotion, and thrilling elements.

In its August 2024 re-release (on Mahesh Babu’s birthday):

• Day 1 Worldwide: ~₹5.41 Cr gross (one of the biggest re-release openings ever)
• Telugu States (AP-TG): ~₹4.40 Cr gross
• Nizam Area: ~₹2.93 Cr (record for many areas)
• Final Worldwide Total: ~₹8.90 Cr gross

It shattered several records and proved that even non-mass films can dominate when remastered. For December 31, 2025, expectations are sky-high — especially with New Year energy, fans predict it could cross ₹6–8 Cr+ on Day 1 if screens and shows are strong.

Jalsa Re-Release: Legacy & Box Office Track Record

Jalsa (starring Pawan Kalyan, Ileana D’Cruz, Parvati Melton, Kamalinee Mukherjee) is a pure mass entertainer with unforgettable dialogues, DSP’s chartbusters (“My Heart is Beating”, “Jalsa Jalsa”), and Trivikram’s sharp writing.

Previous re-releases (2022 & others):

• 2022 Re-Release Day 1: Massive openings with 500+ special shows
• Worldwide Total: ~₹3.20 Cr gross (charity-focused in some runs)
• Telugu States: Strong hold with ~₹2.57 Cr in some rounds

Jalsa has always been a fan favorite for its high energy and re-watch value. For the December 31, 2025 version, with 4K upgrade and New Year craze, trade experts expect it to deliver explosive openings — potentially matching or challenging Murari’s previous highs in mass belts.
