Guntur Kaaram managed to create a massive hype right from the day it was announced. Film lovers all over were massively excited to see a repeat of the famous Athadu and Khaleja combo of Trivikram and Mahesh Babu. While the earlier two films were not massive blockbusters, they surely have a special place in film lover’s hearts. With Guntur Kaaram, it was expected that the Mahesh-Trivikram duo would score their much-awaited blockbuster.
Just like Khaleja, Guntur Kaaram also couldn’t stand up to the hype. While Mahesh’s stardom has managed to pull unthinkable collections, Guntur Kaaram is a classic case of a missed opportunity.
Both movies took a lot of time on set with multiple script changes. Similarly for both films, the shooting days were very less but it remained on set for a long time due to many delays and last-minute cast and crew changes.
Both movies had energetic characterisation for the hero but they lacked serious fights like Athadu. The build-up scene for fights was also not established strongly in Khaleja and Guntur Kaaram. Mixing comedy in all fight scenes has damaged both movies
Even in terms of promotions, the same mistakes were made for Khaleja and Guntur Kaaram. The promotional content was different and the actual film which proved costly for both films.
Trivikram had a great plot in both cases but he did not treat the films properly which resulted in a baked product. It was the hero characterization that managed to save these films. Box-office wise Khaleja was a failure and Guntur Kaaram did better revenues and settled up average – above average
If only Trivikram and Mahesh Babu stuck to a serious screenplay, Khaleja and Guntur Kaaram would have been huge blockbusters
