Guntur Kaaram Box Office Day 6: Mahesh Babu’s Film Works Steadily, Earns Rs. 100 Crore In India
January 18, 2024Guntur Kaaram’s Spice Still Sizzling After Five Days, Early Numbers Hint at Slower Simmer
Mahesh Babu’s “Guntur Kaaram” stormed the box office like a fiery Andhra pickle, scorching screens with its masala mix of action, comedy, and drama. After five days of exhilarating heat, the film’s India net collections reached a sizzling ₹ 93.95 crore (early estimates). Despite facing tough competition from Teja Sajja’s “HanuMan,” “Guntur Kaaram” maintained its position as the undisputed box office king of its region.
However, on its sixth day, the simmer seems to be setting in. Early estimates suggest a 7.00 crore India net collection, marking a significant drop from the previous days’ fiery performances. Could this be a temporary dip or the beginning of a slow descent? Industry experts are cautiously optimistic, attributing the decrease to a combination of factors.

Firstly, the weekend rush has subsided, and weekdays typically witness lower footfalls. Secondly, the initial novelty factor might be wearing off for some viewers, prompting them to wait for streaming releases or home viewings. Additionally, the ongoing buzz surrounding “HanuMan” might be drawing some audiences away from “Guntur Kaaram.”
Despite the dip, “Guntur Kaaram” remains a force to be reckoned with. Its strong first-week performance has already secured its place among the year’s biggest hits. The film’s critical acclaim and strong word-of-mouth continue to drive interest, particularly in smaller towns and rural areas. Moreover, the overseas market, known for its fervent Mahesh Babu fan base, is yet to fully ignite.
Therefore, it’s still too early to write off “Guntur Kaaram.” The coming weekend could see a resurgence in collections, especially if there are positive reviews and sustained audience recommendations. With the film’s captivating story and undeniable entertainment value, a strong second week is still very much within reach.
However, the competition from “HanuMan” and the upcoming releases in January and February will undoubtedly test the film’s staying power. Can “Guntur Kaaram” maintain its fiery momentum and keep audiences coming back for more? Only time will tell.
In conclusion, “Guntur Kaaram” has cooked up a delicious box office success story so far. While the sixth day’s simmer raises a few questions, the film’s overall heat remains promising. Whether it boils over or simmers to a gentle simmer will depend on a careful blend of audience support, strategic marketing, and continued critical appreciation. One thing’s for sure, “Guntur Kaaram” is a hot dish worth keeping an eye on in the coming weeks.
