The re-release of Prabhas' 2010 romantic comedy Darling has made a strong start at the box office. According to industry tracker Sacnilk, the film earned an estimated ₹3.2 crore nett in India on its opening day (April 24, 2026). This marks the second-highest opening day for a Telugu re-release, behind only Pokiri (2006) which earned ₹3.5 crore on its re-release day earlier this year.
The film, directed by A. Karunakaran and starring Prabhas and Kajal Aggarwal, originally released in 2010. The re-release has generated significant buzz, with fans celebrating the film's nostalgic value and Prabhas' enduring popularity. The movie is being screened in over 500 theaters across Telugu-speaking regions.
Prabhas, known for his pan-Indian appeal after the Baahubali series, continues to draw audiences to theaters. The re-release of Darling is part of a trend of classic Telugu films returning to the big screen, capitalizing on fan demand and the success of previous re-releases like Pokiri and Magadheera.
