Mahesh Babu’s “Guntur Kaaram” embarked on a rather unconventional journey, leaving both netizens and fans surprised. The film’s promotional activities garnered attention, but a section of fans expressed disappointment, particularly with its musical journey and the fans’ response during the release.
The initial reception on day one was far from promising, as negative talk surrounded the movie. Despite doubts about its success, Mahesh Babu’s immense stardom played a pivotal role, attracting audiences to theaters, especially with a release during the festive season. The film managed to salvage itself to some extent, showcasing the star’s ability to draw in crowds.
However, what came as a letdown was the unexpected disappointment from a director of Trivikram Sreenivas’ caliber. Despite Mahesh Babu’s previous successful collaborations with Trivikram in films like “Athadu” and “Khaleja,” “Guntur Kaaram” failed to meet expectations. While the earlier ventures gained post-release appreciation, this one struggled to win over audiences initially.
As the film heads for its OTT debut on February 9th, 2024, fans who found merit in “Guntur Kaaram” are optimistic about its reception in the digital realm. The outcome remains uncertain, and only time will reveal whether the film will garner the love and acclaim it may have missed during its theatrical run.
