Telugu cinema crosses the ocean, receipts stay home
US exhibitor listings show Romanchakam and Sahaa: Life of Sanju on American screens. The listings confirm showtimes, not a box-office fairy tale.
US exhibitor listings confirm screenings for two Telugu films; commercial figures remain unconfirmed.
Telugu cinema has two more titles on US exhibitor listings, while the usual collection figures remain safely out of reach.
Galaxy Theatres lists Romanchakam for release from September 3, 2026, at its Texas location in The Colony. Malco also lists the Telugu film, including a September 6 showtime at Cordova Cinema Grill. The exhibitor describes it as a romantic comedy and suspense film directed by debutant T. Venugopal Reddy, with Sumanth Prabhas and Ananthika Sanilkumar in the cast. (Galaxy Theatres; Malco)
A Michigan event listing places Sahaa: Life of Sanju at AMC Forum 30 in Sterling Heights from September 4 to 9, with evening shows. A separate showtime listing carries the same venue and dates. The listing names Shiva Kumar Kasaram, Swetha Lakshman and Vrajana Pandya, with Nishanth Doti as writer-director. It also warns that timings may change — the rare official phrase that admits cinema schedules are not constitutional law. (MI India; Nowrunning)
The listings establish theatrical availability. They do not establish screen counts, ticket sales, attendance, revenue or commercial success. Telugu cinema has reached the screens; the receipts have not yet reached the record.
