Guntur
Kaaram,
a
family
action
drama
starring
superstar
Mahesh
Babu
was
written
and
directed
by
Trivikram
Srinivas.
The
movie
was
released
as
part
of
Sankranti
2024
Telugu
releases,
amid
great
hype
and
record-breaking
numbers
on
January
12.
Teja
Sajja
and
Prasanth
Varma's
first
Indian
superhero
film
HanuMan
was
also
released
on
January
12
alongside
Guntur
Kaaram,
without
backing
out.
The
movie
surprised
everyone
with
its
immense
positive
response
and
eventually
emerged
to
become
the
first
Sankranti
2024
blockbuster
hit.
Saindhav
is
a
dark
action
thriller
in
which
Venkatesh
tried
a
new
kind
of
character
and
genre,
which
he
had
not
attempted
before.
Written
and
directed
by
Sailesh
Kolanu,
Saindhav
hit
the
screens
on
January
13
to
a
lukewarm
response.
But,
Venaktesh's
characterization,
action
sequences,
and
his
makeover
won
appreciation.
The
movie
couldn't
achieve
break-even
and
remained
one
of
the
commercially
unsuccessful
films.
All
these
Sankranti
releases
are
running
in
theatres
and
are
going
to
enjoy
a
good
run-time
in
theatres
owing
to
the
fact
that
there
are
no
big
releases
to
replace
them,
although
Captain
Miller
and
Ayalaan's
Telugu
versions
are
about
to
hit
screens.
