Guntur Kaaram, starring Mahesh Babu, collected ₹41.5 crore in India, surpassing Allu Arjun's Pushpa in Telugu language. However, after competing against other Sankranti releases such as HanuMan, Captain Miller, Ayalaan, and others, the film received lukewarm reviews from both audiences and critics. On its second day, January 13, the film earned only ₹13.55 crore in India, a significant 70% drop. On day three, the film collected ₹14.5 crore, and on day four, it earned an estimated ₹14.50 crore. Despite a drop in revenue, the film scored in double digits on day six, according to Sacnilk.

Guntur Kaaram's team to take legal action

Despite garnering positive reviews from both audiences and critics, Guntur Kaaram starring Mahesh Babu fell victim to what appears to be a deliberate effort to tarnish its image. The alleged orchestration of fake votes is believed to be part of a larger strategy by an unidentified anti-group.

The Film Chamber is reportedly sending legal notices to BookMyShow, demanding a thorough investigation into the alleged fake voting campaign. The film's team, along with the producer, is reportedly scheduled to meet with cyber crime police on Monday to officially file a complaint. The aim is to take legal action against those engaged in negative publicity, with concerns looming about the potential decrease in movie collections due to the alleged zero rating.
