Introduction
Guntur Kaaram, starring Mahesh Babu and directed by Trivikram Srinivas, has been making waves at the box office since its release on January 12, 2024. Despite mixed reviews, the film has managed to perform well, although facing tough competition from other Telugu releases. In this article, we will dive into the latest updates on the Guntur Kaaram box office collection and analyze the factors contributing to its success.
Guntur Kaaram Box Office Collection Day 1-3
According to industry tracker Sacnilk, Guntur Kaaram collected an impressive Rs 14.5 crore on its opening day in India. However, the film experienced a significant drop on the second day, with collections falling to Rs 13.5 crore. On the third day, Guntur Kaaram managed to collect another Rs 14 crore, bringing its total domestic collections to Rs 83 crore.
Global Box Office Performance
Globally, Guntur Kaaram crossed the Rs 130 crore mark within three days, as reported by trade analyst Manobala Vijayabalan. It is expected to surpass the Rs 150 crore mark soon.
Occupancy and Footfalls
Guntur Kaaram reported an overall occupancy of 46% for the Telugu version, with evening shows attracting the highest number of viewers. The evening shows recorded an occupancy rate of 59%, while the night shows and morning shows had occupancy rates of 50% and 26% respectively.
Competition from HanuMan and Salaar
Despite its initial success, Guntur Kaaram faced tough competition from other releases, particularly HanuMan and Salaar. Teja Sajja led HanuMan showed significant spikes in collections over the weekend, thanks to positive word-of-mouth. The film collected Rs 12 crore on its first day and saw a further increase to Rs 16 crore by Sunday. It is expected to deliver similar figures to Guntur Kaaram on the fourth day, with domestic collections crossing Rs 55 crore.
Comparison with Previous Mahesh Babu Films
Guntur Kaaram is Mahesh Babu’s latest release after a gap of one and a half years. His previous film, Sarileru Neekevvaru, remains his biggest hit, grossing Rs 260 crore worldwide. Sarkaru Vaari Paata, his most recent release before Guntur Kaaram, also performed well at the box office, earning over Rs 200 crore globally.
Makar Sankranti Expectations
Makar Sankranti is traditionally considered one of the biggest box office days in the South regions. However, Guntur Kaaram failed to witness a significant jump in collections on this auspicious day. The film’s day 4 collections increased by only about 3-6% compared to day 3, which is considered low for a festival release
Impact of Negative Reviews
Despite Mahesh Babu’s praised portrayal in Guntur Kaaram, negative reviews seem to have affected the film’s footfalls. Critics pointed out shortcomings in the direction, plot, screenplay, BGM, and soundtrack by Trivikram Srinivas. In contrast, its competitor, HanuMan, received rave reviews and surpassed Guntur Kaaram’s box office collections on day 3.
Future Prospects for Guntur Kaaram
It remains to be seen whether Guntur Kaaram will pick up momentum during the remaining days of the festival or experience a decline in ticket sales. The film’s overall collections in the Telugu language are estimated to be between Rs 84.10-84.60 crore.
