Mega Powerstar Ram Charan has yet again proved that he is the undisputed king of the Telugu film industry.
His latest film Rangasthalam was released when the industry was going through a slump and was witnessing low footfalls in theatres. The movie set the cash registers ringing right from the word go and is continuing its rampage, thus providing some respite to the hit-starved industry.
Rangasthalam, a period drama set against a village backdrop in the 1980’s, revealed an all-new Ram Charan to the audience, where he portrayed a deaf village character for the first time in his career. His performance received all round applause from critics and movie lovers alike. Upon its release, Rangasthalam received critical acclaim with particular praise for Ram Charan and Samantha’s performances, Devi Sri Prasad’s music, Sukumar’s direction and screenplay, and the production values.
imes of India gave 4/5 rating and says “Watch it especially for Ram Charan and his stupendous performance, Sukumar’s direction, Rathnavelu’s cinematography and DSP’s background score.”
First Post gave 4/5 rating and said: “In Ram Charan we find a brand new actor, and in Sukumar, we find a master storyteller who is relentless in his approach to push himself.”
IMDB gave a rating of 9.2/10 which is same as God Father.
Rangasthalam has gone on to break all the existing box office records and collected a gross of over 200 crores and is continuing its strong run at the box office.
