Box Office: Guntur Kaaram and Hanuman First Tuesday Early Estimates
The action drama film continues to benefit from the Pongal holidays, scoring an estimated 11-12 crores net (13-14) collection on its first Tuesday/fifth day. The holiday period plus the stardom of Babu is proving to be a saving grace for the movie after getting a mixed reception.
The total collection of Guntur Kaaram has reached over 94+ crores net (111 crores gross) after 5 days, per estimates, and it will top 100 crores net by tomorrow. The Pongal holidays and the coming weekend should ensure a hit verdict of the film, which could have easily collapsed in a normal week with the kind of drop it had on its second day.
The Telugu version continues to put up a solid show as it scored an estimated 10+ crores net (12 crores gross) on Tuesday (total 49.50+ crores), getting the benefit of a holiday in Telugu states while the Hindi version witnessed a drop of around 25% today for an estimated 2.50-2.75 crores net, pushing total Hindi net to over 18 crores.
Hanuman is proving the biggest hit among the other Sankranthi releases this year by a good margin and it is likely to top Guntur Kaaram in the overall collection soon.
