The fiery superstar Mahesh Babu’s Guntur Kaaram has not just lit up the screens but set the box office ablaze, achieving an unprecedented feat.
In its first week, the Telugu masala entertainer has raked in a monumental worldwide gross of ₹212 crore, smashing all previous records for cinema. This phenomenal performance proves that Guntur Kaaram’s opening week box office numbers are not just impressive; they are historic.
Most areas where the film released have already seen distributors and exhibitors smiling ear to ear, entering profitability within the first week itself. In areas where profitability is yet to be achieved, recovery rates are astonishingly high, with over 80% of the cost already recouped. This swift financial success underlines the immense audience resonance the film has garnered.
However, Guntur Kaaram shows no signs of slowing down. The second week has witnessed a strong hold, with collections remaining steady and audiences continuing to flock to theaters. This robust performance is further fueled by the upcoming extended holidays for Makara Sankranthi, promising another surge in viewership. With the festive fever gripping the nation, Guntur Kaaram is poised to extend its reign as the Sankranthi box office champion.
The film’s success can be attributed to a potent blend of factors. Mainly, the electrifying performance by the film’s star, by the ever-charismatic Mahesh Babu, added a layer of brilliance. Additionally, the expert direction of Trivikram and masterful technical craftsmanship have created a visually stunning and thoroughly entertaining cinematic experience.
