Sree Vishnu’s romantic comedy “Single” is rapidly emerging as one of Tollywood’s breakout hits of 2025, achieving remarkable box office growth on its second Saturday (Day 9) since release. Directed by Caarthick Raju and co-starring Ketika Sharma, Ivana, and Vennela Kishore, the film has won over audiences across Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, and overseas with its blend of laugh-out-loud humor and relatable relationship drama.
On Day 9, “Single” witnessed a significant spike in ticket sales, outperforming its weekday numbers by a large margin. Over 32,000 tickets were sold via BookMyShow in just 24 hours, a testament to the film’s powerful word-of-mouth and repeat audience appeal. Trade reports estimate that the film has now collected close to ₹40 crore worldwide—a feat rarely achieved by mid-budget Telugu comedies—and further gains are expected as Sunday bookings approach capacity.
Critics and fans have credited the movie’s success to Sree Vishnu’s comic timing and the sparkling chemistry with Vennela Kishore. Key sequences, especially hilarious pub scenes in the second half, have become instant crowd favorites. The supporting cast and music by Vishal Chandrasekhar enhance the lighthearted narrative, making it a perfect summer watch. Adding a layer of goodwill, part of the film’s profits is set to be donated to the Indian Army—an announcement that has further boosted the film’s positive public sentiment.
Produced by Geetha Arts and Kalya Films, “Single” has also struck gold overseas, grossing more than $600,000 in the US, marking an all-time high for Sree Vishnu. Social media buzz and packed theaters underscore the movie’s wide appeal, all but solidifying its status as a surprise blockbuster. As Tollywood trade analysts note, “Single” is a refreshing example of how strong content and comedy can outperform bigger-budget counterparts, given the right timing and audience connection.
