However, the critics were not ready to give the credit to the film or it's team for the record collections, instead blaming the audience for making it success. "The success of 'Racha' is proof for the bad taste of Telugu people. Encouraging such films (5 songs, 5 fights, editing lapses and illogical scenes) is like given license to few more meaningless projects," commented a senior film critic.
On the other hand, the unit of Racha slam the critics. "Right from its inception, the team of Racha never claimed that they are making a completely different or thought provoking film. All that they said was that their film is a commercial entertainer targeted to please the fans. Giving what people expect/want from us is always the right thing to do. We make films for the Audience, not Critics," said a source close to Charan.
The success of Racha has taught a lesson to the critics - 'Audience Are The Bosses', as they are the ones who can make or break a film! It's like a slap in the face of Critics!
