Mahesh Babu was once credited as the sole box-office king of the USA, also regarded as the man who boosted the market in its early days.
Over the last few years, the US market has undergone significant changes, with small films crossing the million-dollar mark becoming commonplace for Tollywood. Achieving $1.5 million and $2 million has become a somewhat prestigious milestone.
However, this year has seen a scarcity of films entering the $2 million club, with not a single film reaching the $3 million mark in the U.S.
While the number of films achieving hit or super-hit status has become common, breaking into the $2 million club has become a struggle despite a significant population of Telugu audiences willing to watch.
Looking ahead, Mahesh Babu and Trivikram’s “Guntur Kaaram” should ideally reach the $3 million club without any struggle. If this happens, Mahesh will once again stamp his authority in this market. Will he?
