GodFather

Chiranjeevi's "GodFather", despite the decent word of mouth, has turned out to be a dud in terms of box office returns. It went nowhere close to the claimed pre release business of Rs 90 cr. Chiranjeevi's swag and Salman Khan cameo also didn't worked out for the buyers.

The Ghost

Ginna

Kantara

"Kantara" has turned out to become a huge blockbuster of the month. As the film created required hype in Kannada and got released in Telugu, it gained huge openings. It took audience to another world and surprised them. Rishab Shetty's performance and directorial skills is getting huge applause from everywhere. The makers stated it grossed over Rs 30 crores in the Telugu states.

Sardar

Ori Devuda

This film also runs in the genre of the actor's previous film "Ashoka Vanam Lo Arjuna Kalyanam." The fun he is making out for marriage is entertaining audience.

Prince

"Prince", which is directed by Jathi Ratnalu fake Anudeep marks Sivakarthikeyan's Telugu debut. The film turned out to be a below average film. Though, getting praises for Anudeep mark comedy, it didn't helped out to increase film's revenue.

"Kantara" is the only real box office blockbuster in October and "Sardar" has also got profits. "Ori Devuda" is slowly going towards profits zone. Rest all are epic disasters or flops.
