Mahesh Babu and his wife Namrata Shirodkar recently met Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy to contribute ₹50 lakh to the Cm’s relief fund, aiding the state after recent floods and landslides. While his generous act was praised, much of the internet’s attention was drawn to Mahesh’s new look, sparking an online debate. The actor, who has been growing out his hair and beard, was compared to both Keanu Reeves’ iconic *John Wick* character and Jesus Christ.

Social media quickly buzzed with memes and discussions, with one user even sharing a picture of Mahesh alongside his late father Krishna, who portrayed Jesus in the film Santhi Sandesam, and captioning it, “Krishna garu #MaheshBabu looks (hot emoji).” Another person created a meme where Keanu Reeves’ John Wick jokingly accuses Mahesh of copying his style.

India’s movie industry is booming! The first half of 2024 brought in over $600 million at the box office. That’s pretty awesome, and even better than last year.

Leading the way was the sci-fi flick “Kalki 2898 Ad.” It made an impressive $92 million all on its own! No wonder – the movie about a future robot uprising looked pretty awesome. It really helped boost June’s numbers to over $144 million.

Coming in close behind was “Fighter,” the air force action movie in Hindi. It took in $29 million. Not far behind that was “Hanu-Man,” a Telugu take on mythology and superheroes that made $28 million.

Some other big hits made the top ten list too. “Shaitaan,” a Bollywood suspense thriller scared up $21 million. “Manjummel Boys,” a emotional Malayalam film about survival, netted $20 million. And “Guntur Kaaram,” a Telugu action drama, fought its way to $17 million.

The excitement surrounding Mahesh Babu’s upcoming project with acclaimed director SS Rajamouli is palpable, marking a significant milestone in both their careers. As anticipation builds for Ssmb 29, fans are eager to see what this dynamic collaboration will bring to the big screen. Here’s a detailed look at the key elements:

Mahesh Babu’s Family Time

Before diving into the intense filming schedule, Mahesh Babu took a much-needed break for a family vacation, sharing a heartwarming group photo with his wife Namrata Shirodkar and their children, Gautam and Sitara. The superstar sported a new bearded, long-haired look, likely for his role in Ssmb 29, and accessorized with a white cap and black sunglasses.

Prabhas and Deepika Padukone starrer Kalki 2898 Ad has opened to a massive hysteria collecting 191 crore worldwide and 22+ crore in Hindi. In fact, collecting 93 crore net in India, the science-fiction has entered the list of top 10 Indian openers ever.

Kalki 2898 Ad Opening Box Office

With Kalki, Prabhas has entered the list of top 10 Indian openers ever for the fifth time out of the seven pan-India films that he has been a part of. Only his Hindi debut, Baahubali: The Beginning, and his disaster, Radhe Shyam, are not a part of the top 10 openers list.

Kalki Beats Salaar & Adipurush

With Kalki 2898 Ad’s 93 crore opening number, Prabhas has surpassed the opening number of Adipurush and Salaar at once. In fact, he has even pushed Rajinikanth’s 2.0 out of the top 10 list in India.

Trending Box Office: Maharaja Mints...

Junaid Khan’s Ott debut has finally started getting some good visibility on the internet but after the film aimed to arrive in a hush hushed tone initially and got stayed, then fought and again released on Netflix, it has not managed to create good buzz in the first week itself!

Maharaj Ott Verdict Week 1

In the first week of its debut on Netflix, Maharaj failed to enter the global top 10 charts on Netflix. This in turn means that the the Yashraj film failed to garner even 1.1 million views on Netflix in the first week. Lohusa took 10th place on the global list with 1.1 million views.

This clearly means that Maharaj has garnered at least less than 1.1 million views since it could not secure a spot in the top 10 list of the non-English films trending on Netflix globally.

Prabhas’ Salaar Is A Flop On TV? (Photo Credit – IMDb)

Prabhas finally got a much needed comeback in the form of Salaar. After the historic success of Baahubali 2: The Conclusion, the superstar was failing to match his own standards. His search finally ended with the Prashanth Neel directorial and the film turned out to be a big success at the worldwide box office with a gross collection of over 600 crores. Shockingly, it has witnessed a poor response on TV. Keep reading to know more!

Salaar marked the debut collaboration between Prabhas and Prashanth Neel. Neel coming fresh from the success of Kgf Chapter 2, elevated the buzz to the next level. Despite a clash with Shah Rukh Khan’s Dunki in the Hindi belt, the Prabhas starrer did really well and eventually, got a verdict of clean success. Following such success and hype around the upcoming part 2, the magnum opus...

Mahesh Babu & Sreeleela’s Guntur Kaaram Is Making Noise!(Photo Credit –YouTube)

Guntur Kaaram, starring Mahesh Babu and Sreeleela, failed to live up to its massive expectations at the box office. Despite arriving during the lucrative festive season, the film earned way below expectations at ticket windows. Now, two months after the theatrical release, the biggie is breaking records on the internet, and below is all you need to know!

The Tollywood release marked the reunion of Trivikram Srinivas and Mahesh Babu, so expectations were really high. However, with poor reviews and not-so-good audience reactions, the commercial potboiler saw a sharp decline in the collection right on its second day, and eventually, Teja Sajja’s HanuMan destroyed it by attracting maximum footfalls during the Sankranti holidays.

While Guntur Kaaram as a film has failed to generate big profits, it did grab all the limelight due to its chartbuster track ‘Kurchi Madathapetti.

Suriya & Jyothika Are A Power Couple Who Enjoy Net Worth Of 537 Crore ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

Actress Jyothika is commanding all the accolades for her phenomenal comeback with the horror flick Shaitaan. The film also stars Ajay Devgn and R Madhavan as the lead, and the South Indian actress is a vision to watch on-screen. Interestingly, she is one of the few actresses who commands a phenomenal net worth despite getting paid only 5 crore for Shaitaan.

The actress, along with her husband Suriya, command power couple in the industry. The two actors are powerful on-screen. While Suriya is currently gearing up for Kanguva, the Chandramukhi actress was the talk of the town last year with her powerful portrayal in Kaathal: The Core opposite Mammootty.

Jyothika & Suriya’s Net Worth

The couple enjoys assets worth 537 crore together. The couple, who married in 2006, have relocated to Mumbai recently and own a house worth 70 crore.

Mahesh Babu has embarked on a transformative journey with his hair, signaling a significant departure from his usual on-screen look. While his portrayal in “Guntur Kaaram” showcased a long-haired appearance, reports suggest that he is set to push the boundaries further in Rajamouli’s upcoming project.

Inspired by Tom Cruise’s iconic look from one of his previous films, Babu’s character will feature exceptionally long hair. Rajamouli, known for his meticulous attention to detail, has crafted nearly eight distinct getups for the actor, all emphasizing the flowing locks.

Mahesh Babu’s Guntur Kaaram was one of the major Tollywood releases that arrived during the Sankranti festive season.

But now, upon its release on Netflix, the film is garnering the major attention of the viewers. Keep reading to know more!

After Sarkaru Vaari Paata, this was a comeback vehicle for Mahesh Babu after a gap of one and a half years. Another reason that made the film special was that it marked the reunion of Mahesh Babu and renowned director Trivikram after Athadu and Khaleja. Expectedly, the film took a flying start, but right from the second day onwards, it went downhill.

Reception of HanuMan

Directed by Prasanth Varma, the superhero flick was released on 12th January, with its paid premieres being held on 11th January. The idea of paid premieres actually worked in favor as positive word-of-mouth set the stage for the film to succeed right from the opening day. It did help in gaining momentum against a mighty film like Mahesh Babu’s Guntur Kaaram.

Dhanush’s latest Tamil period action-adventure film, Captain Miller, is ready to arrive on Ott after having a decent stint in the theaters. The film was released at the festival of Pongal and had to face a massive clash. While it clashed with Sivakarthikeyan’s Ayalaan in Tamil Nadu, with both films taking up maximum screens, Telugu films Guntur Kaaram, HanuMan, and Hindi-Tamil bilingual Merry Christmas also released on the same day.

With so many new releases at the box office, it was difficult for everyone to hold the fort strongly, but Dhanush‘s period drama tried hard to be relevant for a month before the film was finally ready to release on Ott.

Box Office Worldwide: Guntur Kaaram Vs HanuMan Week 1 Update (Photo Credit – Facebook/IMDb)

Mahesh Babu’s Guntur Kaaram and Teja Sajja’s HanuMan ended their opening week yesterday. The Sankranthi releases locked their horns in a theatrical battle, which took an ugly turn afterward. Initially, Mahesh Babu’s stardom gave an edge to his film, but later, the superhero flick managed to turn the tables and surpassed every expectation. Let’s find out where both releases currently stand at the worldwide box office!

HanuMan turned the tables with its content!

Released ahead of Sankranti, Guntur Kaaram was a much bigger film, considering the presence of Tollywood superstar Mahesh Babu. So, it got the upper hand in the screen count battle initially. As a result, the film recorded a bumper opening. However, as soon as poor reviews kicked in, the collection dropped considerably right from the next day.

On the other hand,...

Yes, both had some flaws, but credit where due; looking beautiful throughout wasn’t an issue these films faced. That’s also majorly because of how their action stunts were choreographed, and that’s finally getting recognized across the globe.

Guntur Kaaram Box Office Collection Day 6 Early Estimates! (Picture Credit: IMDb)

Guntur Kaaram, led by Mahesh Babu, has crossed the 100 crore mark at the box office. The film opened to mixed reviews. Viewers criticized the direction, storyline as well as Bgm, and soundtrack. But clearly, the fan base is loyal enough to still flock to the theatres. Scroll below for early estimates of day 6.

The Telugu language masala film hit the theatre screens on January 12, 2024. It coincided with the Makar Sankranti festival. There are several other competitions at the ticket windows, including HanuMan, Saindhav, and Naa Saami Ranga. There was a considerable drop witnessed on Wednesday that left fans worried.

Guntur Kaaram is five days old at the box office, and the signs of wearing off are already visible in this Mahesh Babu starrer. As complicated as its shooting schedule was, even its journey at the box office was a mess. From almost touching the 100 crore mark from day 1 (worldwide gross), the film started crashing from day 2.

The failure of this film clearly indicates the type of films the actors should try to stay away from in 2024. Despite being a mediocre film, Leo unabashedly proved Vijay’s vision to be accurate, but that’s not the base here.

With Guntur Kaaram, director Trivikram Srinivas doesn’t even try. It’s a sloppy stitching of half-baked sequences, one after another. It, along with the other Sankranthi releases, has till 24th January because after that, Hrithik Roshan, Deepika Padukone’s Fighter,...

While the Sankranti holidays were always going to be beneficial, the film had a huge competitor in the form of Guntur Kaaram.

Positive talks are helping HanuMan

Guntur Kaaram was a comeback film for Mahesh Babu, so it was understood that the exhibitors would give maximum showcasing for the Mahesh Babu starrer.

A little tiff has also been there due to Katrina Kaif and Vijay Sethupathi‘s Merry Christmas in Tamil. All three films were released in theaters on January 12, and while they are the first releases of the year 2024, they have been received with open arms.

However, now the box office battle between Mahesh Babu and Teja Sajja’s film has turned ugly since distributors of the Trivikram Srinivas’ action drama have started playing dirty games to put down Teja Sajja’s superhero film at the box office.

According to many social media posts, distributors of Guntur Kaaram are leaving no stone unturned to let Mahesh Babu’s film take...

HanuMan Is Unstoppable At The Box Office(Photo Credit –IMDb)

Amid all the new releases from India, HanuMan has turned out to be the biggest surprise at the box office. It arrived in a clash with Mahesh Babu’s Guntur Kaaram. As expected, it got very few screens on the opening day. But ever since the positive word-of-mouth came into play, the film has been simply unstoppable. Keep reading to know more!

In India, the Teja Sajja starrer faced Mahesh Babu’s Guntur Kaaram initially, and now, two more films (Venkatesh’s Saindhav and Nagarjuna’s Naa Saami Ranga) have arrived as a major competition in the Telugu states. In the Hindi belt, there’s no competition as such with just Merry Christmas being the only fresh film playing in theatres.

HanuMan beats Guntur Kaaram!

While the response in India has been impressive, HanuMan is pulling off a real surprise in the overseas market.

Makar Sankranti Box Office: How Much Have 15 Films Collected In The Last 10 Years (Picture Credit: IMDb)

Makar Sankranti is the first festival of the year. Festivals go hand in hand with the Box Office collection in Bollywood. However, it is one festival that has not yielded great results – the first festival that falls on January 14. Films that are released on the Makar Sankranti weekend have not performed well in the past few decades.

The last blockbuster that was released on Makar Sankranti was Hrithik Roshan‘s Kaho Naa Pyar Hai, which started the century with a bang. However, the last film to release on January 14 was Yamla Pagla Deewana, which did a fair business at the box office.

Ypd, starring Sunny Deol, Bobby Deol & Dharmendra, collected 7.75 crore on February 14. The film collected 55 crore in its lifetime and 23 crore on the Sankranti weekend. It was a hit at the box office.

Mahesh Babu and Trivikram Srinivas’ film Guntur Kaaram opened at almost 41 crore in India. Defying all the assumptions and ditching all the negative criticism, the opening numbers sailed and how. Interestingly, on the first day itself, the actor-director duo made a record for themselves.

Before the action drama, which also stars Sreeleela, Ramya Krishnan, and others, Trivikram Srinivas collaborated with Mahesh Babu twice. They first came together in 2005 with Athadu.

After Athadu, Trivikram Srinivas and Mahesh Babu collaborated for Khaleja in 2010. After 14 years, they have come together for the action drama Guntur Kaaram, which registered a collection of 41 crore on day 1 and is expected to collect almost 13 – 15 crore on day 2.

After bringing in 2.30 crore on its opening day, Merry Christmas saw an increase in numbers on Saturday, with 3.40 crore being collected. The growth is there, though a little less than 50%. Ideally, anything over 3.50 crore would have had a better ring to it, and that would also have set an added momentum for the film.

Nonetheless, the good part is that the film is not flat, and there is growth. Since the only competition for Sriram Raghavan’s suspense thriller is Hanuman, and that’s also playing with similar numbers, both films have ample space to keep growing and bring in their own audience.

No one is cutting into each other’s business, and there is no threat from Dunki, Salaar, or any other Hollywood release either. Meanwhile, the Katrina Kaif and...

Exhibitors had the most challenging time dividing the screens amidst a horde of releases, which also included Katrina Kaif and Vijay Sethupathi‘s Merry Christmas from Bollywood as well.

Trivikram Srinivas has somehow finished this journey of releasing one of the most uncertain films of his career. With multiple people like Cinematographer Ps Vinoth and Pooja Hegde walking out of the film, this one faced roadblocks like no other Ssmb film.

But, the buzz was high, and fans were waiting to see what magic they both created upon reuniting after 14 years after Khaleja (2010). Guntur...

IMDb has released the list of the most anticipated films of 2024, and as expected, Hrithik Roshan & Deepika Padukone’s Fighter is ruling this list at number 1. Based on popularity, Siddharth Anand’s film, where the superstars play Indian Air Force Officers, is winning hearts, and people are excited to watch the film on January 25.

What makes Fighter interesting is Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone’s fresh pairing, which has grabbed a lot of eyeballs already in the teaser and songs. The most interesting part of IMDb’s list is the ratio of Bollywood to South Indian films.
