The Diwali festive season at the box office begins on October 16 with the release of Mithra Mandali. The film, which stars Priyadarshi, Niharika NM, Vishnu Oi and others, promises a hilarious ride with a gang of friends caught in a chaotic situation.
The following day, October 17, brings a three-way clash with Siddu Jonnalagadda's Telusu Kada, Kaantha, and a double dose of Pradeep Ranganathan with LIK and Dude. Telusu Kada, co-starring Raashii Khanna and Srinidhi Shetty, is a drama that aims to deliver a blend of heart and humor. Meanwhile, Dulquer Salmaan's period action thriller Kaantha is set to enthrall audiences with its dramatic story set in the 1950s. The biggest showdown, however, might be between Pradeep Ranganathan's own films, as both Love Insurance Kompany and Dude are vying for a Diwali release, although the actor has clarified only one will ultimately make it.
Finally, on October 18, Kiran Abbavaram's K-Ramp enters the fray. This Telugu drama, directed by Jains Nani, seems to be a thorough youthful entertainer.
