Guntur Kaaram' Redemption: Mahesh Babu's Film Becomes Cult Hit After OTT Release Despite Initial Criticism
The film 'Guntur Kaaram', featuring the combination of Mahesh Babu and Trivikram, was released this Sankranti but did not achieve the expected level of success. Despite decent box office collections, the film initially received a significant amount of negative feedback. Recently, the producer Nagavamshi spoke about 'Guntur Kaaram', suggesting that promoting it as a mass film was a mistake and that it would have fared better if marketed as a class movie. These remarks have gone viral online, thrusting 'Guntur Kaaram' into trending discussions. Netizens are comparing its treatment to that of previous films like 'Athadu' and 'Khaleja', claiming it was unfairly criticized.
What did Nagavamshi say?
In a recent interview, producer Suryadevara Naga Vamsi made some intriguing comments about 'Guntur Kaaram'. When asked if the film was commercially successful, he confirmed that 'Guntur Kaaram' was a commercial hit, except for some losses in the Nizam region. He noted that its release during Sankranti, a time when many people travel to their hometowns, might have affected its revenues. Nagavamshi admitted that the film may not have met audience expectations and that naming it 'Guntur Kaaram' might have been a mistake since a mass title for a family film could be misleading. He also speculated that scheduling the film for a late-night show might have been another error. A video of these comments is currently going viral.

Outrage Over a Flopped Cult Classic!
After recent OTT and TV viewings, everyone is praising 'Guntur Kaaram'. On social media, users are expressing their opinions, noting that they hadn't rewatched another film released during the same Sankranti, unlike 'Guntur Kaaram', which they saw multiple times on both OTT and TV. One user criticized the Telugu film industry's failure, while another praised Mahesh Babu's one-man show. As a result, 'Guntur Kaaram' is being widely discussed online under the hashtag #GunturKaaram, with fans sharing their favorite scenes from the movie.

Why Only Mahesh-Trivikram Movies?
So far, three films have been made by the Mahesh-Trivikram combo. Earlier releases 'Athadu' and 'Khaleja' received mixed reviews and did not achieve significant commercial success. However, they particularly captivated the television audience, achieving high TRPs during their TV premieres. These films have instilled a sense of injustice among fans. The same is happening with 'Guntur Kaaram'. Surprisingly, films that were not noticed much in theaters are receiving accolades on OTT and TV. The film circles are puzzled about why this pattern is recurrent with Mahesh-Trivikram films.
