Guntur Kaaram box office collection day 2: After a strong opening at the box office, Mahesh Babu's film plummeted on its second day, and minted just Rs 13 crore.

Guntur Kaaram box office collection day 2: Mahesh Babu film drops massively on second day.

Mahesh Babu made a triumphant return to theatres after a two-year hiatus with the release of Guntur Kaaram. The film garnered a strong opening at the box office on Friday, amassing Rs 41.3 crore. However, early estimates by the industry tracker Sacnilk suggest a significant drop in collections on day two. The film is estimated to have earned only Rs 13 crore on Saturday.

This would bring the film’s domestic collections to Rs 54.3 crore. Guntur Kaaram witnessed maximum footfalls in Mahesh Babu’s home turf, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. The film recorded an overall 46.02 percent Telugu occupancy on Saturday, with 34.84 percent in morning shows, 46.98 percent in afternoon shows, 51.80 percent in evening shows, and 50.45 percent in night shows.

Despite facing tough competition from Teja Sajja and director Prasanth Varma’s sci-fi fantasy Telugu release HanuMan, Dhanush’s Tamil film Captain Miller, Sivakarthikeyan and Rakul Preet Singh’s Tamil flick Ayalaan, and Katrina Kaif and Vijay Sethupathi’s Tamil and Hindi film Merry Christmas, Guntur Kaaram emerged as the top film in the country.

HanuMan, which had a pan-India release, was anticipated to provide stiff competition to Mahesh Babu’s film but managed to collect only Rs 7.56 crore net on its first day of release. The film, however, saw a 55 percent increase in its collection on Saturday and raked in Rs 12.53 crore. This would suggest that word-of-mouth is taking off, as opposed to Guntur Kaaram, which has been massively front-loaded.
