    The Goat Life Review: Prithviraj Sukumaran's Best Performance.
    The Goat Life Review: Prithviraj Sukumaran's Best Performance.
    Cast: Prithviraj Sukumaran, Amala Paul, Aparna Balamurali, Vineeth Sreenivasan, Jimmy Jean Louis, Lena, Santhosh Keezhattoor, Akef Najim, Shobha Mohan and others Director: Blessy Music: A.R. Rahman Cinematography: Sunil K.S Producers: Blessy, Jimmy Jean Louis, Steven Adams, K.G. Abraham Release Date: 28-03-2024 After the blockbuster hit "Salaar", Malayalam star hero Prithviraj Sukumaran became well known among Telugu audiences as well. Even though his Malayalam films were dubbed in Telugu before, they didn't make much of an impact. Acting as Prabhas's friend in "Salaar", he recently gained significant recognition. His latest film "The Goat Life: Aadujeevitham", based on the novel "Goat Days" by Benyamin, was directed by Blessy and released in Malayalam as well as Telugu today. How did the film turn out (The Goat Life Review In Telugu)? Did it impress the audience or not? Let's see. What's the Story? "The Goat Life" tells the story of Najeeb Ahmed (Prithviraj Sukumaran) who goes to Saudi Arabia as a migrant worker to support his family. Unexpectedly, Najeeb gets lost in Saudi Arabia. His dream of working in the Gulf to earn money and support his family is shattered. He becomes a slave, forced to live a harsh life as a goat herder in the desert. What hardships does he endure? How does Najeeb escape from the chains of slavery? Did he return to India and reunite with his family or not? That's the rest of the story. How Did They Perform? Prithviraj Sukumaran carried "The Goat Life" on his shoulders with his performance and shocking transformation. It's hard to imagine anyone else in the role of Najeeb; Prithviraj immersed himself in the character so deeply, especially in emotional scenes, delivering a career-best performance. Actress Amala Paul also played a key role and impressed with her performance within her scope. The rest of the cast justified their roles. How's the Direction? Director Blessy chose a heart-touching story for this film, showcasing the harsh realities of slave life. He portrayed how Prithviraj's character comes to Saudi, gets his passport seized, and turns into a slave. Particularly, a scene before the interval is heart-wrenching. The film also depicts the atrocities in Saudi Arabia. In the second half, the hero's escape from slavery and the difficulties he faces in the visible horizon of the desert are well captured, especially the sandstorm sequence is brilliantly filmed. However, focusing mostly on Prithviraj's hardships throughout the film might feel monotonous and slow to the audience, making the film seem lengthy. Those who prefer commercial films might not enjoy "The Goat Life" as much. Technically On the technical front (The Goat Life Review In Telugu), every department performed well. A.R. Rahman's music is a significant plus for the film, with his background score elevating the scenes. The cinematographer also showcased the desert conditions in Saudi beautifully, offering a visual treat to the audience. The production values are high. Positive Points - Prithviraj Sukumaran's acting - Emotional scenes - Music Negative Points - Slow narration - Lack of commercial elements Telugu.yousay.tv Rating: 3/5

    The 7 Immortals of Kalki, Are those key to the story?
    The 7 Immortals of Kalki, Are those key to the story?
    Chiranjeevis are legendary figures known for their immortality, as detailed in the Puranas. According to Hindu mythology, they are believed to still inhabit the Himalayas. The reason this topic is relevant now is due to the significant buzz surrounding their portrayal in the upcoming Pan-India film 'Kalki 2898 AD.' This excitement is amplified by reports that Bollywood icon Amitabh Bachchan will play Ashwathama, lending further authenticity to the buzz. So, who are these Chiranjeevis, and who would be the ideal candidates to portray them in the Kalki movies? Let's delve into these details. Who are the Seven Immortals? According to the Puranas, the seven immortals, Ashwathama, King Bali, Hanuman, Vibhishana, Kripacharya, Parasurama, and Vyasa, are known as the Saptarishi. They are believed to still exist on Earth, invisible to humans. Ashwathama was cursed with immortality by Lord Krishna, while King Bali was granted immortality by the grace of Vamana. Similarly, Vyasa and Hanuman were blessed for their devotion to Lord Rama, and Vibhishana was granted immortality due to his allegiance to Rama. Kripacharya had a unique birth and Parasurama had immense penance power, both granted immortality. All these figures are recognized as the seven immortals in our scriptures. The Seven Immortals in the Kalki Film? There's news that these immortals will feature in the upcoming Prabhas film 'Kalki 2898 AD.' Official announcements have already confirmed that Bollywood star Amitabh Bachchan will play Ashwathama. It is also rumored that Prabhas will appear as the avatar of Lord Vishnu, Parasurama. However, there is keen interest in who will be cast for the other roles. With a veteran actor like Amitabh portraying Ashwathama, there's speculation that casting other legendary actors for the remaining roles would be fitting. For Hanuman, superstar Chiranjeevi, for Vibhishana, Rajinikanth, for King Bali, Mohanlal, for Vyasa, Kannada star Shiva Rajkumar, and for Kripacharya, Bollywood veteran Anil Kapoor are seen as fitting choices. Meanwhile, names like Nani, Vijay Deverakonda, and Jr NTR are also being considered for roles in Kalki. It remains to be seen how this will unfold. Substantial Remuneration for Kamal There are reports that veteran actor Kamal Haasan will appear as 'Kali' in the Kalki film. Initially, there were rumors that Kamal would play the antagonist to Prabhas. According to the latest buzz, Kamal has received a substantial remuneration for this role, reportedly around 50 crores from the film unit. In comparison, Amitabh Bachchan, who plays Ashwathama, was reportedly paid 10 crores, reflecting the lesser screen time his character has compared to Kamal's, as per discussions in Bollywood circles. Meanwhile, Bollywood beauties Deepika Padukone and Disha Patani are cast opposite Prabhas in the film.

    Adil Hussain: RRR Is Not A Great Film.. The 'Kabir Singh' Actor Strikes Again
    Adil Hussain: RRR Is Not A Great Film.. The 'Kabir Singh' Actor Strikes Again
    The film 'RRR' has elevated the Indian film industry to a global level, featuring Ram Charan and Jr. NTR with the direction of the eminent SS Rajamouli. It captured the attention of cinema lovers worldwide and clinched several awards, including at the Oscars, making a global impact. Even Hollywood director James Cameron was impressed by Rajamouli's directorial skills, declaring his admiration for 'RRR'. In this film, prominent Bollywood actor Adil Hussain expressed his strong opinions, not holding back his criticism of the southern blockbuster. RRR is Not a Great Film Bollywood actor Adil Hussain, known for his outspoken views, recently appeared on a podcast interview. During the conversation, the interviewer asked the Assam-born actor a thought-provoking question: with regional films like 'RRR' gaining international acclaim, could Assamese cinema soon achieve similar global recognition? Adil Hussain replied, "Assamese cinema has already attained a global presence. I do not consider 'RRR' to be a great film. Generally, films that meet the highest standards are considered good cinema, but that doesn’t automatically make them great. 'RRR' is just that—an entertainment film. In my opinion, it is not a great film. I hold 'Village Rockstars' in higher regard than 'RRR'." View this post on Instagram A post shared by GPlus (@guwahatiplus) Severe Uproar Online Adil Hussain's remarks on 'RRR' have sparked a viral debate on social media, dividing internet users into two camps of critics and supporters. Some accuse him of making baseless comments merely to attract attention, alleging he is envious of the global acclaim South Indian films like 'RRR' have garnered—a recognition that has notably elevated the Indian cinema industry. On the other hand, others stand by Hussain's personal views, recognizing 'RRR' as a solid entertainment film, yet agreeing that it hasn't made a substantial social impact. Criticism on Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Movie! Adil Hussain has expressed deep regret about his role in Sandeep Reddy Vanga's film 'Kabir Singh.' During an interview, he made startling remarks, stating, "It’s the only film in my career that made me question why I acted in it. I played the college dean. Despite my initial refusals, they persuaded me to join for a day’s shoot with a substantial payment. After its release, I felt ashamed of being associated with such a film. I even left the cinema hall midway through watching it with a friend and never suggested my wife watch it, fearing her disapproval." Strong Counter from Sandeep Vanga Director Sandeep Reddy Vanga reacted sharply to Adil Hussain's criticisms. In a forceful response, he said, "The recognition you failed to gain from 30 films you deemed great, you've obtained from this single blockbuster you're now ashamed of. I regret casting someone as greedy as you instead of an actor with genuine passion. Going forward, I'll ensure you can stay unashamed—I'll replace your role with AI assistance," he shared on X.

    Exclusive: The Rise of Telugu Cinema's stars: Actors Who Achieved Stardom Through Talent and Determination
    Exclusive: The Rise of Telugu Cinema's stars: Actors Who Achieved Stardom Through Talent and Determination
    The Telugu industry is replete with numerous heroes. Offspring from illustrious star families and children of directors and producers have made their mark as heroes. Nonetheless, some individuals have ascended to stardom in Tollywood without any prior industry connections, winning over Telugu audiences through their exceptional acting prowess. These young heroes demonstrate that with dedication and persistence, anyone can climb the ladder of success in the industry. Who are these self-made heroes? How did they begin their cinematic journey? What films propelled them to stardom? Let's delve into these questions in this special feature. Nani When you think of a self-made hero of this generation, Nani often stands out. He began his career behind the scenes as an assistant director and first gained attention as a leading man in "Ashta Chamma". Nani's captivating performances in films such as "Bheemili Kabaddi Jattu", "Ala Modalaindi", "Pilla Zamindar", "Eega", "Yeto Vellipoyindi Manasu", "Bhale Bhale Magadivoy", "Nenu Local", "Jersey", "Shyam Singha Roy", and "Dasara" have solidified his status as a star. His latest film, "Hi Nanna", Saripodhaa Sanivaaram is scheduled for release on August 29th. Vijay Devarakonda Young hero Vijay Devarakonda faced numerous challenges early in his career, often playing supporting roles while waiting for the right opportunities. He entered the industry with "Nuvvila" and appeared in minor roles in "Life is Beautiful" and "Yevade Subramanyam". His career took a significant turn with Tharun Bhascker’s "Pelli Choopulu", marking his establishment as a lead actor. Vijay then became an overnight sensation with Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s "Arjun Reddy", quickly gaining a massive youth following. "Geetha Govindam" expanded his appeal to family audiences, and his recent film "Family Star" further solidified his status in Telugu cinema. Siddhu Jonnalagadda Born and raised in Hyderabad, young hero Siddhu Jonnalagadda entered the industry driven by his passion for acting. He started with small roles in films like "Josh", "Orange'', and "Bheemili Kabaddi Jattu", without gaining much recognition initially. However, his transition to a leading actor began with Praveen Sattaru’s "LBW". "Guntur Talkies' ' later helped him gain more recognition as a lead actor. Despite intermittent successes, it wasn't until the 2022 hit "DJ Tillu'' that Siddhu's career truly soared, establishing him as a star. The success of its sequel, "Tillu Square'', further cemented his status, with box office earnings exceeding 100 crores, leading to plans for "Tillu Cube". Naveen Polishetty Naveen Polishetty, another self-made star, faced numerous challenges with minor roles at the beginning of his career. He was introduced to the industry in Shekar Kammula's "Life is Beautiful". Despite his involvement in films like "D for Dopidi" and "1: Nenokkadine", widespread recognition was slow to come. His breakthrough came with the 2019 hit "Agent Sai Srinivasa Athreya", which propelled his name throughout the industry. His role in "Jathi Ratnalu" significantly boosted his popularity, and his recent film "Miss Shetty Mr. Polishetty" alongside star actress Anushka was also a success, solidifying Naveen as a dependable leading actor in Tollywood. Teja Sajja Young hero Teja Sajja, originally a beloved child actor, captivated Telugu audiences in films alongside stars such as Chiranjeevi, Mahesh Babu, Venkatesh, and Jr. NTR. He made his debut as a lead actor with the 2019 hit "Zombie Reddy", which was a significant success. His following films, "Ishq" and "Adbhutham", also received positive responses. Recently, Teja starred in the Pan-India film "Hanu man", directed by Prashanth Varma, which garnered substantial attention, particularly in northern India, significantly boosting his popularity. He is currently working on "Super Yodha", continuing his upward trajectory in the film industry. Adivi Sesh Star hero Adivi Sesh, without any industry background, first appeared as a hero in "Karma" and quickly garnered recognition. He played supporting roles in films like "Panja", "Balupu", "Run Raja Run", "Baahubali", and "Ami Thumi". His career trajectory changed with the spy thriller "Goodachari", which was a hit with Telugu audiences. He solidified his status with successful films such as "Evaru", "Major", and "HIT: The Second Case", marking him as a star in the industry. Adivi Sesh is currently engaged in the sequel to "Goodachari". Priyadarshi Actor Priyadarshi, who had a deep interest in films from a young age, tirelessly pursued opportunities without any industry connections. He achieved his breakthrough with the 2016 film "Terror," where he played as a terrorist. That same year, "Pelli Choopulu" earned him significant recognition. Known for his humorous dialogue delivery, Priyadarshi gained further popularity with "Jathi Ratnalu." His recent performances in lead roles in "Balagam" and "Mangalavaaram" have cemented his status as a star actor in the industry.

    Summer Movies 2024: ‘Family Star’, ‘Tillu Square’ will be the hits in summer 2024?
    Summer Movies 2024: ‘Family Star’, ‘Tillu Square’ will be the hits in summer 2024?
    The summer season following Sankranti is typically a lucrative period for the film industry, largely because schools and colleges are on holiday, increasing the likelihood of families, particularly those with young children and teenagers, seeking entertainment through movies. Consequently, films featuring major stars are often slated for release during this time to capitalize on the increased audience. However, the summer of 2024 marks a departure from this trend, with no blockbuster releases from star heroes on the horizon. Plans for launching films such as ‘Devara’ and ‘Kalki 2898 AD’ during this season fell through. As a result, the industry pins its hopes on the releases of two films led by rising stars. Should these movies resonate with audiences, they have the potential to generate substantial box office revenue. Let's explore which films are poised to make an impact this summer. Summer Belongs to These Movies! The films 'Tillu Square' and 'Family Star' are garnering significant interest as the most anticipated releases of the season. 'Tillu Square' features Siddu Jonnalagadda and Anupama Parameswaran in leading roles and is scheduled for a theatrical release on March 29. Following closely, 'Family Star' will make its debut on April 5, starring Vijay Devarakonda and Mrunal Thakur. With a notable absence of other major star-led films this summer, the spotlight is firmly on these two movies. 'Tillu Square' and 'Family Star' are specifically aimed at captivating the youth audience, particularly during the summer when students are on vacation. Film analysts predict that if these movies perform well upon their release, the box office collections could be impressive. The potential for these films to seize this golden opportunity is a subject of much anticipation. 'Family Star' is directed by Parashuram Petla, while Mallik Ram takes the helm for 'Tillu Square'. The industry awaits to see how these films will fare in this favorable season. Will the Hit Combo give success? Before ‘Tillu Square’, the combo of Siddu Jonnalagadda and director Mallik Ram in ‘DJ Tillu’ achieved blockbuster success. Siddu, in particular, won audiences over with his performance and dialogues, charming them with his unique comedy timing. ‘DJ Tillu’ stands as the biggest hit in Siddu’s career. On the other hand, the previous collaboration between director Parasuram Petla and actor Vijay Devarakonda, ‘Geetha Govindam’, was a grand success. The movie, starring Rashmika Mandanna as the heroine, immensely attracted family audiences. Thus, fans are confident that ‘Tillu Square’ and ‘Family Star’ under these super hit combinations will also be successful. Will Suhas be lucky a third time? Actor Suhas, who started his career as a comedian and proved himself as a hero, hit a chord with the audience recently with ‘Ambajipeta Marriage Band’. He is now coming with a movie titled ‘Prasanna Vadanam’, directed by Arjun Vaikke, which is set to release in theaters on May 3. The movie stars Payal Radhakrishna and Raashi Singh as heroines. The teaser of this movie has already been released and received a good response from the audience, creating buzz.

Let's delve into the features, price, and better options between the Realme Narzo 70 Pro and Redmi Note 13 Pro. Mobile Screen The Realme Narzo 70 Pro comes with a 6.67-inch Full HD+ OLED display, offering a 120Hz refresh rate and 2000 nits peak brightness. It's powered by an octa-core MediaTek Dimensity 7050 processor and operates on Android 14-based Realme UI 5.1. On the other hand, the Redmi Note 13 Pro features a 6.67-inch AMOLED screen, with a 120Hz refresh rate, 1220x2712 (FHD+) pixels resolution, and 500 nits peak brightness. This phone will run on the Android 13-based HyperOS. RAM & Storage The Realme Narzo 70 Pro is available in two variants: 8GB+128GB and 8GB+256GB. The Redmi Note 13 Pro, however, offers five storage options: 8GB RAM / 128GB, 8GB RAM / 256GB, 12GB RAM / 256GB, 12GB RAM / 512GB, and 16GB RAM / 512GB. Both phones allow for storage expansion via a microSD card. For those needing higher storage, the Redmi Note 13 Pro seems to be the better option. Camera Both phones feature a triple rear camera setup. The Realme Narzo 70 Pro has a 50 MP primary camera + 8 MP ultrawide + 2 MP macro sensor with flash and a 16 MP front camera. The Redmi phone comes with a 200 MP primary camera + 8 MP ultrawide, 2 MP macro sensor, and a 16MP front camera. In terms of camera capabilities, the Redmi Note 13 Pro holds a better position with its 200 MP primary camera compared to Realme's 50MP. Battery The Realme Narzo 70 Pro features a 5000 mAh battery with 67W fast charging, claiming to reach 50% charge in just 19 minutes. The Redmi Note 13 Pro has a slightly larger 5100 mAh battery, which can charge up to 50% in 17 minutes and fully in 44 minutes. Thus, the Redmi phone has a slight edge in battery performance. Special Features The Realme Narzo 70 Pro introduces rainwater smart touch and air gestures, enabling 10 types of gestures without touching the phone, including taking screenshots and scrolling through Instagram Reels. The Redmi Note 13 Pro does not have these advanced features. Connectivity Features Both phones offer similar connectivity options like Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/6, Bluetooth 5.2, GPS, and USB Type-C 2.0, along with various sensors including an under-display fingerprint sensor. Color Options The Realme Narzo 70 Pro is available in two color variants: Green and Gold. The Redmi Note 13 Pro offers more choices: Midnight Black, Aurora Purple, Ocean Teal, and Arctic White. Price The Realme Narzo 70 Pro is priced at INR 18,999 for the 8GB+128GB variant and INR 19,999 for the 8GB+256GB model. The Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G's prices vary by variant, starting from INR 25,999 for 8GB+128GB, INR 27,999 for 8GB+256GB, to INR 29,999 for 12GB+256GB. Which One to Buy? Overall, the Redmi Note 13 Pro appears to offer better features than the Realme Narzo 70 Pro, including camera quality, battery size, storage options, and color variants. However, it is priced higher. If budget is not a constraint, the Redmi Note 13 Pro is a strong candidate. If you're looking for a more budget-friendly option with the latest OS and innovative features, the Realme Narzo 70 Pro might be the way to go. Realme Narzo 70 Pro Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 Pro

    Hanu-Man OTT: Why Telugu audience furious over the OTT version of "Hanu-Man". 
    Hanu-Man OTT: Why Telugu audience furious over the OTT version of "Hanu-Man". 
    The film "Hanu-Man," which achieved sensational success in theaters during Sankranti, is now continuing its momentum on OTT. For the past few days, audiences were eagerly waiting for "Hanu-Man" to arrive on OTT. Surprisingly, on Sunday (March 17), it started streaming on Zee 5, taking everyone by surprise without any prior information. The blockbuster movie's sudden release on OTT had audiences rushing to watch it, and within a few hours of its release, "Hanu-Man" started trending as the number 1 on the OTT platform. However, some fans are expressing significant displeasure over the OTT version of "Hanu-Man." Let's look at the reasons. Trending "Hanu-Man" Initially, everyone expected "Hanu-Man" to release on March 8, coinciding with Shivaratri, but that did not happen, leading to deep disappointment among fans. The silence from the makers regarding the Telugu version's release date, especially after announcing the Hindi version's release, fueled the fans' anger. However, the surprise release of "Hanu-Man" on Zee 5 somewhat cooled down the fans. Currently, "Hanu-Man" is leading in views on Zee 5 and is reportedly racing towards 100 million views, making it one of the fastest Telugu films to gain views on OTT. Impressive Response in Hindi Too Directed by Prasanth Varma, "Hanu-Man" is also streaming in Hindi on Jio Cinema. The film is receiving an excellent response from the Bollywood audience, with North Indian audiences showing keen interest in watching the movie. Even those who watched it in theaters are rewatching "Hanu-Man" on OTT, indicating the film's potential to break several OTT records in Hindi. Notably, "Hanu-Man" has been well-received in the North since its theatrical release. What About Those 8 Minutes? The release of "Hanu-Man" on OTT has left fans disappointed due to its shorter runtime compared to the theater version (Hanu-Man disappointed the OTT audience). The movie's length in theaters was 2 hours and 38 minutes, but on Zee 5, it's only 2 hours and 30 minutes. Fans are questioning whether 8 minutes of the film were cut for its OTT release. Ideally, a film's duration on OTT should be longer, including deleted scenes, as makers tend to release their movies on OTT platforms with additional content. However, the reduction in "Hanu-Man’s" runtime has been hard for fans to digest. Better in Hindi than Telugu! Netizens on social media platforms are complaining that the sound quality of the movie "Hanu-Man" is much poorer on OTT compared to theaters. Some have expressed dissatisfaction with the audio quality, mentioning that the dialogues are not clear and the background score suddenly becomes too loud. They said they are unable to enjoy the movie on OTT as much as they did in theaters. Furthermore, comments suggest that the Hindi version on Jio Cinema is much better compared to the Telugu version. Record Collections The film "Hanu-Man," with its devotional and superhero concept, has enchanted cinema-goers across India at a pan-India level. Made on a budget of just Rs. 40 crores, the movie has grossed over Rs. 330 crores at the box office, achieving a massive success. It is known that the sequel to the HanuMan movie, titled "Jai Hanuman," is in the works. The film is expected to be presented to the audience next year during Sankranthi.

    Guntur Kaaram On Netflix: A Step Away from the Goal, Here’s How?
    The latest film featuring Telugu star hero Mahesh Babu, directed by the wizard of words Trivikram Srinivas, titled "Guntur Kaaram," has caught the attention of family audiences since its release this Sankranti. Despite mixed reactions, it managed to secure good collections at the box office, showcasing its strength in theaters for about three weeks. As of midnight (February 9), the movie has made its way to OTT platforms, streaming on Netflix, prompting netizens to share highlight scenes from "Guntur Kaaram" extensively online, trending under the hashtag #GunturKaaramOnNetflix. Streaming in Five Languages Released in theaters on January 12, in conjunction with Sankranti (Guntur Kaaram On Netflix), the film, despite receiving mixed reviews on its opening day, managed to break even in some areas thanks to the support of family audiences. However, with waning theater enthusiasm, the film debuted on Netflix even before a month had passed. Initially only released in Telugu in theaters, the film is now available in five languages on OTT platforms, including Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam, making "Guntur Kaaram" a trending topic across India. Hanuman Outshines Mahesh! "Guntur Kaaram" movie witnessed record-breaking collections on its first day, thanks to the combined star power of Mahesh Babu and Trivikram Srinivas, with a gross of Rs. 90 crores and a share of Rs. 55 crores, setting a new record in the non-Pan India category for highest first-day earnings. However, the film faced stiff competition from the simultaneously released movie "Hanuman," which received overwhelmingly positive reviews, overshadowing "Guntur Kaaram." Despite this, Mahesh Babu's popularity ensured respectable collections for "Guntur Kaaram." Criticism Over Trivikram! The movie "Guntur Kaaram" (Guntur Kaaram On Netflix) did not quite appeal to Mahesh’s fans, leading to criticism towards director Trivikram Srinivas. Fans were disappointed, arguing that even with a hero like Mahesh Babu, the film revolved around a single-line story and expressed frustration that the narrative was based solely on a non-existent relationship between mother and son. They felt that more attention should have been given to Mahesh’s mass look, story, and screenplay to make the film more engaging. Overall, fans were dissatisfied, feeling that the movie did not live up to the images of Mahesh Babu and the standards of Trivikram Srinivas. Collections, How Much? Regarding the box office collections of "Guntur Kaaram" (Guntur Kaaram On Netflix), it has reportedly amassed Rs.126.47 crores net worldwide (over Rs. 200 crores gross), according to the Sacnilk website. Before its release, the film did a pre-release business of Rs.132 crores and faced a break-even target of Rs.133 crores during the Sankranti season. However, falling short of its goal by Rs.8 crores, "Guntur Kaaram" ended its run, which is notable considering it achieved this level of collections amidst negative talk.
