About “Guntur Kaaram”

Marking the third collaboration between Mahesh Babu and director Trivikram Srinivas, following the successes of “Athadu” and “Khaleja,” “Guntur Kaaram” has elicited a mixed reception from critics. Nonetheless, the film experienced a steady box office performance, mainly thriving in Andhra Pradesh compared to Telangana and overseas markets. Producer Naga Vamsi affirmed this trend during a press conference, noting the film’s relative success.

The narrative follows the journey of Ramana (Mahesh Babu), a notorious figure from Guntur, as he navigates his complex familial ties. Estranged from his mother, played by Ramya Krishnan, Ramana’s life takes a tumultuous turn when his grandfather, a politician portrayed by Prakash Raj, demands he sever all connections with her. Defiant, Ramana embarks on a quest to unravel the truth behind his mother’s abandonment two decades prior.

As “Guntur Kaaram” readies for its OTT release on Netflix, viewers across India and beyond are poised to witness the compelling drama unfold in the comfort of their homes, available in an array of languages that promise to broaden its appeal.
