Telugu superstar Mahesh Babu’s Guntur Karam is making a comeback with a re-release in limited theatres. Special shows are scheduled for the re-release on December 31, Adding festive atmosphere to New Year’s Eve. Originally released on January 12 during Sankranthi, the film brought together Mahesh Babu and director Trivikram Srinivas for the third collaboration after hits like Athadu and Khaleja.

Of the five shows scheduled in Hyderabad, four have already been sold out, and anticipation remains high for the remaining shows. This revival highlights Mahesh Babu’s unwavering star power and the film’s growing fan base.

Despite initial promotion, the film received mixed reviews. Fans appreciated Mahesh Babu’s stylish performance, but the story struggled to live up to expectations. After a strong start to Sankranthi, it suffered a huge decline, earning a total of Rs 129 crore in the Telugu states, falling short of break-even expectations.

Here is the trailer:

The film’s fortunes improved after its release on the OTT platform and audiences liked its commercial appeal. Its music, especially the viral song Kurchi Madatha Patti, played at an NBA game in Houston, USA, further increased its global reach.

Guntur Karam stars a stellar cast including Sreeleela, Meenakshi Choudhary, Prakash Raj, Ramya Krishnan and Rao Ramesh with music by Thaman. Produced by Harika and Haseen Creations, the film blends commercial elements with Mahesh Babu’s signature charm, which keeps fans enthralled.

Meanwhile, Mahesh Babu is gearing up for his next project, SSMB 29, which is reportedly titled Garuda. Directed by SS Rajamouli, this globe-trotting adventure will unfold against the stunning Amazon rainforest backdrop, promising yet another milestone in his illustrious career.
