Methodology and Data Sources
Last updated: 2 November 2026
Data sources
Film metadata, cast, crew and release details come from The Movie Database (TMDB). Box office collections are compiled from publicly available reports and trade sources. Critic reviews are aggregated from leading Telugu entertainment outlets and linked back to the originals. OTT release dates come from platform announcements and public reports. This product uses the TMDB API but is not endorsed or certified by TMDB.
Box office figures
Figures are shown in crores (₹) and cover daily, cumulative and territory-wise collections where available. They are estimates based on public reporting; actual numbers may differ and may be revised as better data becomes available.
Hit or flop verdicts
A verdict compares a film's collections against its estimated cost or business, and reflects our assessment at the time of publication. Verdicts can change as a film's run progresses and are an editorial judgement, not an official classification.
Ratings and reviews
TollyBO reviews use consistent criteria so films can be compared. AI-assisted analysis supports our reviews, and the output is validated before publication. Audience sentiment summaries are a snapshot of public discussion and are not a scientific poll.
Rankings and actor success rates
Rankings are ordered by collections. Success rates for people are the share of their credited films with a hit-type verdict among films we track, so they are only meaningful when a person has enough tracked films.
Limits
We cover Telugu cinema first; coverage of older films and small releases is thinner. If you notice a missing or wrong figure, please report it via the contact page.
