THEATRICAL SHOWDOWN / Guntur Kaaram vs HanuMan Box Office Day 2: Mahesh Babu Starrer Earns 4 times More Than Teja's Film

The South Indian box office witnessed a fierce battle as several films hit the theatres around Makar Sankranti, but one film stood out. Teja Sajja, in the titular role of Hanuman, directed by Prasanth Varma, has taken the box office by storm since its release on January 12, 2024. Despite facing tough competition from Mahesh Babu's Guntur Kaaram and Sivakarthikeyan's Ayalaan, Hanuman strategically chose the festival period for its release.

How did HanuMan perform on Day 2?

Pre-release paid premieres played a pivotal role in creating a buzz around HanuMan, effectively countering the impact of the Guntur Kaaram storm. The film achieved an impressive box office collection of 12.55 crore on its opening day.

On its second day, it earned an outstanding collection in the range of 13-13.20 crore across all languages. The Hindi belt contributed significantly, adding 3.20-3.40 crore to the overall box office figures.

Combining the first two days at the box office, Hanuman is set to land between 25.15-25.35 crore in all languages and 5.35-5.55 crore in Hindi.
