Featured reviews
The storyline itself may seem a bit ludicrous, and unfortunately, it transforms into a cringe-worthy screenplay overloaded with commercial elements like comedy, sentiment, fights, songs, and the whole shebang. Enduring this film is akin to a self-inflicted torture.
Mahesh Babu gives it his all, attempting a fresh approach with his character and performance in comparison to his recent works. However, Ramya Krishnan's potential is sadly underutilized, leaving much to be desired.
Sree Leela delivers her usual dose of subpar acting but compensates with great dancing skills. The remaining cast, caught up in mundane roles, manages to scrape by with okay performances.
Production values pass muster, and the music is, well, music. However, the direction feels antiquated, and it's high time Guruji explores new avenues rather than sticking to this worn-out formula.
In all honesty, this film isn't worth the theater ticket, not even a glance on OTT platforms. Save yourself the trouble.

Honestly, it's not that bad what reviews are, certainly the first batch viewers may have different agenda. Trivikram is missing M S Narayana, Darmavarapu Subramanyam, Brahmanandam, we clearly see that void. It is out and out Mahesh Babu movies, full of mass characterization, intentionally he kept himself away from a social message, people got bored of social messages. Certainly don't look for dark stories like KGF, Salaar, not every movie and every viewer is expecting such kind of movies. Srileela justified her role, though not much scope. Prakash Raj gave a decent performance. Thaman music was okay. Overall timepass.
"Guntur Kaaram" can be classified as a formulaic commercial family entertainer. While the film avoids gratuitous violence commonly found in today's big star movies, it suffers from outdated sequences and a lack of emotional depth. There is no humor either. The film largely hinges on Mahesh Babu's star power and his performance.
Even the climax makes no impact when leaving the theater. But despite all this, there is only one positive factor, and that is Mahesh with his free-flowing ease. The dialogues written for him work, even though intermittently. The mass song that comes in the second half is fantastic and raises the energy. Overall, Guntur Kaaram can be watched once with low expectations during the festive season, without expecting much originality, action, or emotions, other than Mahesh's energy.

I really cant believe that movies like these exists. There is absolutely no content in the movie. It is pure 2 hour rubbish. The movie changes sequence so fast that its difficult to keep up. The only nice thing she can do is dance. Action scenes are un necessary. A fight every 5 mins just makes the movie so redundant. The movie is trying to display a very special bond that exists between a mother and a son but they have absolutely failed to do so. I dont feel bad neither for the mom nor the son. Such good actors but pure waste of talent. Old storyline with cringeworthy acting. Specially the actress. She is trying to act cute but just looks dumb.
This movie seems to be a super star Mahesh Babu New vintage version by his looks and is mannerism!! And rest of the film like was not as exciting like Ala vaikuntapuram loo flim like his previous film of director trivikram sir !! Usually trivikram sir has unique talent by conveying the core content plot by his magic presence!!! But in this film I feel nothing. It's seems like traveling guntur to Hyderabad by via car every day in the movie by hero !! 😅😅🤣!! Joke's appart, it was just a simple booring film including unnecessary characters!! And having just simple and predictable ending 😏😏😏!! The message oriented film will be good to the Mahesh Babu sir better than this kind of film scripts!! Sorry to say this but as a fan of Mahesh Babu since from pokiri film 😔😔!!

- TriviaThis movie is rumoured to have undergone several re-writes and several artists left the project as a result. Initially announced as an action thriller and a remake of A History of Violence, the makers had filmed an action scene as well. But the storyline was scrapped once Leo(2023) was announced, and writer/director changed the script to a family entertainer instead.
- GoofsWhen Ramana leaves her mother's house about 35 mins into the movie, her shadow appears in front of him as she is looking down on him from her room balcony, so he stops. It is not possible for the sun to cast her shadow in that angle as its not an open balcony, has roof over it so the sun cannot be in such a position to create the shadow.
- Alternate versionsThe UK release was cut, the distributor chose to make cuts to strong violence in order to obtain a 12A classification. An uncut 15 classification was available.
