Santosh-Manasa's 'Couple Friendly' turns successful: Box office collection
Couple Friendly, a Telugu-Tamil romantic drama starring Santosh Sobhan and Manasa Varanasi, has quietly made its mark since releasing on February 14, 2026.
Directed by Ashwin Chandrasekar and produced by UV Concepts, the film targets young viewers with its clean storytelling and relatable vibes—even if reviews have been a bit mixed.
Strong start and steady growth in collections
The movie kicked off strong with ₹1.89 crore worldwide on day one. By day three, it had already pulled in over ₹6 crore and reached a global gross of ₹5.42 crore.
On day six, it crossed the ₹4 crore India net milestone—pretty solid for a mid-sized rom-com.
Ratings and reviews of the film
While critics liked the lead pair's chemistry and Manasa Varanasi's fresh energy, some felt the second half slipped into predictable melodrama.
Still, big names like Prabhas and Siddhu Jonnalagadda gave it shout-outs.
Ratings landed around 3/5 from Indian Express and Sakshi Post praised its honesty and grounded storytelling.
If you're after something light with feel-good moments (and catchy music), this might be your next watch.
