Content triumphs over stardom, as evidenced by the collections of "Hanu-Man." It is evident that audiences today prefer well-crafted films over those featuring star-studded casts.
"Hanu Man" not only garnered unanimous positive reviews but also generated positive word-of-mouth. Consequently, the film surpassed the performance of Mahesh Babu's movie on Friday.
Although "Guntur Kaaram" had an impressive opening day, particularly during premiere shows, it struggled to sustain the same momentum on Friday due to unfavorable reviews. The film suffered, resulting in a mere $380k in collections on Friday.
On the other hand, "Hanu Man" surpassed the half-million-dollar mark on Friday, outperforming "Guntur Kaaram" by $200k.
"Hanu Man" is anticipated to gain further popularity over the weekend. Given the intense competition, Mahesh Babu's film must perform exceptionally well on Saturday and Sunday to remain competitive.
#GunturKaaram [Telugu] Thursday and Friday reported gross $1,789,000 [800 locs] and Total gross $1,789,000 (Premiers $1.39 Mil + First Day $380k)
