Superstar Mahesh Babu hit the screens with writer-director Trivikram Srinivas' Guntur Kaaram, a family action drama for the Sankranti this year. The movie carried sky-high expectations and opened worldwide on January 12 to Mahesh's career's biggest and record-setting numbers. The actor broke his records as well as the industry records with a regional film.

On the very same day, coming-of-age filmmaker Prasanth Varma, who made some remarkable movies in the past brought his biggest project yet, the first of its kind Indian superhero film titled HanuMan to the audiences. The movie set the cash registers ringing ever since it premiered and looks like there is no stopping this film anytime soon, given the downpour of appreciation and praise.

Guntur Kaaram, despite mixed reactions and dull ratings, is continuing to do commercially well at the box office, thanks to the festive season and extended weekend holidays. The movie which crossed Rs 200 Crore at the worldwide box office is now about to surpass Rs 100 Crore Share value in India. However, the movie needs to keep up with the pace to reach the break-even figures.

Guntur Kaaram Premise

Ramana (Mahesh Babu) lives with his father Satyam (Jayaram) after his mother Vasundhara (Ramya Krishnan) estranges him. She also bears witness to a murder committed by Satyam, sending him to jail. Meanwhile, Ramana is summoned by his maternal grandfather Venkata Swamy (Prakash Raj) to sign documents that deny any property rights. He demands to see his mother Vasundhara, who is now re-married. However, she refuses. The answers to these questions are all about Guntur Kaaram.

Guntur Kaaram Cast
The movie features Mahesh Babu, Sreeleela, Meenakshi Chaudhary, Jagapathi Babu, Jayaram, Prakash Raj, Ramya Krishnan, Sunil, Brahmanandam, Raghu Babu, Mahesh Achanta among others in key roles.

On the other hand, HanuMan became an unstoppable force at the box office and it already amassed a profit of Rs 32.02 Crore over the Rs 29.65 Crore valued business (theatrical business) worldwide, within five days of its release date. The movie has now become an epic blockbuster. The movie is earning more than Mahesh Babu's Guntur Kaaram on a daily basis.

Teja Sajja played Hanumanthu, Amritha Aiyer played his love interest Meenakshi, and Varalaxmi Sarathkumar was cast in the role of Hanumanthu's sister Anjamma. This first Telugu superhero film also boasts of actors Vennela Kishore, Satya, Samuthirakani, Vinay Rai, Getup Srinu, Raj Deepak Shetty, Koushik Mahata, and Bhanu Prakash among others playing pivotal characters.
