Hyderabad, January 16 - Superstar Mahesh Babu's Guntur Kaaram has another good hold at the domestic box office and the movie is inching closer to 100 crores net mark in India within the first week despite the mixed reviews from critics.

The action drama film continues to benefit from the Pongal holidays, scoring an estimated 11-12 crores net (13-14) collection on its first Tuesday/fifth day. The holiday period plus the stardom of Babu is proving to be a saving grace for the movie after getting a mixed reception.



The total collection of Guntur Kaaram has reached over 94+ crores net (111 crores gross) after 5 days, per estimates, and it will top 100 crores net by tomorrow. The Pongal holidays and the coming weekend should ensure a hit verdict of the film, which could have easily collapsed in a normal week with the kind of drop it had on its second day.

Meanwhile, director Prashanth Varma's Hanuman continues to riot and has another super solid day at the box office. According to early estimates, the superhero movie scored around 12.50-13.50 crores net (14.50-15.50 crores gross) on its fifth day in Telugu and Hindi, pushing the total net to over 68.50+ crores (81 crores gross).

The Telugu version continues to put up a solid show as it scored an estimated 10+ crores net (12 crores gross) on Tuesday (total 49.50+ crores), getting the benefit of a holiday in Telugu states while the Hindi version witnessed a drop of around 25% today for an estimated 2.50-2.75 crores net, pushing total Hindi net to over 18 crores.

Hanuman is proving the biggest hit among the other Sankranthi releases this year by a good margin and it is likely to top Guntur Kaaram in the overall collection soon.
