The chartbuster Kurchi Madathapetti from Superstar Mahesh Babu’s film Guntur Kaaram has etched its name into the history by surpassing 600 million views on YouTube. With this feat, it becomes only the third Telugu song to cross this landmark, joining the ranks of Butta Bomma and Ramulo Ramula from Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo.
What makes this achievement even more impressive is the pace at which it was accomplished. According to reports, Kurchi Madathapetti hit the 600 million mark in just 425 days, making it the fastest Telugu song ever to reach this number.
The song’s phenomenal popularity can be attributed to several key factors: the infectious, high-energy composition by music director Thaman S, the electrifying dance performances by Mahesh Babu and Sree Leela, and its viral appeal across social media platforms. From Instagram reels to fan edits on YouTube Shorts, Kurchi Madathapetti has inspired a wave of user-generated content, further propelling its reach and engagement.
Interestingly, despite Guntur Kaaram underperforming at the box office, its music has emerged as a standout success. This contrast underscores the power of music in transcending a film’s commercial fate. The song has resonated with fans across Telugu-speaking states and garnered a nationwide audience, making it one of the most recognizable Telugu tracks in recent times.
For Thaman, Kurchi Madathapetti is a career milestone and a testament to his consistent ability to create chart-topping numbers. With its momentum still strong, the song is now eyeing the 700 million mark, a feat that looks well within reach in the coming months.
While the Mahesh Babu–Trivikram Srinivas collaboration in Guntur Kaaram may not have met expectations at the box office, Kurchi Madathapetti stands as a shining example of how a powerful soundtrack can leave a lasting legacy, long after the curtains fall on the film.
