Known for delivering out-of-the-box entertainment, the channel once again brings a colorful mix of dance, drama, music, and fun in an all-new celebration that’s bound to win hearts.
‘Blockbuster Bonalu’ promises to be a grand affair, featuring powerful performances, hilarious interactions, and vibrant traditional elements that pay tribute to the rich cultural significance of the Bonalu festival. The event will be hosted by the ever-energetic Anchor Ravi and Varshini, setting the tone for an entertaining evening.
The core highlight of the show is a spirited face-off between Zee Telugu’s afternoon and primetime serial teams, captained by actors Srikanth and Roja, who will bring their on-screen magic to this celebratory setting.

Packed with variety, the event has something for everyone — from an Antakshari twist titled “Hug Chesko, Song Guess Chesko”, to Srikanth recreating his iconic Preyasiraave bangle-throwing scene. The younger lot, DJ Kids, will entertain with a fun mimicry act inspired by Balakrishna’s ‘Akhanda’ character, while Roja will embody Chiranjeevi’s ‘Shankar Dada’ and Srikanth will step into his ATM character.
In another segment, contestants will compete in a blindfold cooking challenge, followed by a dynamic dance face-off between the leading heroines of Zee Telugu serials. Viewers can also look forward to soulful singing performances by child artists Raayan and Kushi, along with a quirky musical cycle challenge that adds to the festive chaos.
