Box Office: 'Guntur Kaaram' and 'Hanuman' First Monday/Fourth Day Early Estimates

Hyderabad, January 15 - Superstar Mahesh Babu's action drama Guntur Kaaram held strongly on its first Monday, enjoying the perks of the Pongal holidays. The movie did show a minor jump of around 3% on Sunday, and it remained in the same range with a similar kind of jump today.

According to early estimates, Guntur Kaaram minted around 14-15 crores net (16-17 crores gross) collection on its first Monday, a holiday in South India. The movie has started getting the support of family audiences, despite the mixed word-of-mouth. Since the big drop on the second day, the film hasn't dropped further which is a good sign.



The film's total collection has reached around 83+ crores net (98 crores gross) after the first 4 days, as per estimates. Guntur Kaaram should show the same trend over the next two days as the Pongal holidays continue and then the second weekend should help it further.
