Guntur Kaaram has emerged as the biggest opener ever for Mahesh Starrer Worldwide with a worldwide gross of 67 Cr. Distributor share of the film stands at 43.5 Cr. Though the numbers are highest for Mahesh they are a bit disappointing considering the combo and trade expectations. Outside the Telugu States, Mahesh Babu is very strong in the North American market and Guntur Kaaram couldn’t beat Agnyaathavaasi premieres which is unexpected.
