By: Priya Chowdhary Nuthalapti | 16 March 2026 1:19 PM ISTSree Vishnu’s latest thriller Mrithyunjay is creating strong buzz in theatres. The film, which released on March 6, has been receiving a very good response from audiences across many cities. Even after the first week, the film continues to attract movie lovers and is performing strongly at the box office.
The investigative thriller is directed by Hussain Sha Kiran. The movie is produced by Sandeep Gunnam and Vinay Chilakapati under the banners of Lightbox Media and Picture Perfect Entertainment. Actress Reba Monica John and Manisha also play important roles in the film.
From the very first day of release, Mrithyunjay opened with positive word of mouth. Many viewers appreciated the gripping story, suspense elements, and emotional scenes. The film’s screenplay with many unexpected twists has impressed the audience. Because of this strong content, the film quickly became a popular choice among moviegoers.
According to the makers, the film has already turned profitable at the box office. Instead of slowing down after the opening weekend, the movie continued to perform well during weekdays. Urban audiences especially are showing strong interest in the film’s content-driven story.
The momentum became even stronger during the second weekend. Ticket bookings increased again and the movie continued trending on BookMyShow. This shows that the audience response is still very positive and people are recommending the film to others.
Another important reason for the film’s success is the lack of major new releases in theatres this week. With no strong competition, Mrithyunjay is getting more screens and more viewers are choosing it as their weekend entertainment.
Sree Vishnu has once again proved his ability to choose unique scripts. Over the years, the actor has built a reputation for selecting different types of stories instead of routine commercial films. With Mrithyunjay, he has continued that trend and delivered another strong performance.
