Racha's dream run continues

Ram Charan's Racha has created a new record in openings. It collected more than 30 crore rupees share in first week and thus beating Businessman's record. Not many believed Racha to do such business after watching the first morning show. Critics ruled out the film's success due to average content.

However, Charan proved everyone wrong by creating a new record in openings. What's astonishing is the film is still getting superb patronage all over. Racha entered second week already and on the ninth day too it has collected very good collections in majority centers. Crowds for matinee and first shows are excellent. Even though there is a slight drop in the morning shows, Racha's run has been phenomenal given its wide release.

Due to public demand, Racha is going to be screened extra 3 shows on this Sunday at RTC X Roads. That shows the film's great run at the box office. At this rate, Racha is surely going to enter forty crore club. Adding to that Racha is also released in Tamil and Malayalam in a big way. Ram Charan turns out to be the new Baadshah of box office with Racha.

Racha collects record first week share

Ram Charan has set a new benchmark in terms of collections with his recent outing 'Racha'. The film which was released on April 5th turned into a money spinner at the Box Office.

In just one week, the film has raked in Rs 26.92 crore in AP and Karnataka. If the revenues of Overseas, Tamil Nadu (Tamil version Ragalai) and Rest Of India are included, then the first share will be nearly Rs 35 crore. In it's full run, the collections of Racha are expected to cross the 50 crore mark. So, it's celebration time for the Mega fans!

Ram Charan slaps in the face of Critics

The success of Racha might have given a reason for the fans to be happy, but it's definitely not a good news for the critics as their prediction turned wrong. On the first day of release itself, the film was written off by critics. Despite average content and not so encouraging reviews, 'Racha' broke the existing records in the first week.

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!

Businessman records shattered!

No one has given a chance for Racha to surpass Businessman's first week records as the film had no pre release hype and due to the less known director. However, Racha surprised even hardcore fans of mega family and turned out to be a massive hit this summer. As per early estimates the film collected Rs. 25 crores share only in AP in first week.

All India share will be around Rs. 28 crores and the worldwide first week share will be more than Rs. 30 crore. This is the genuine first week record for any Telugu movie. Racha has beaten Businessman's record by a good margin emerged as the new number one opener for Tollywood. Producers of Racha didn't get into the fake game and have been announcing real figures and in reality Racha is the new record holder.

Now any movie that releases after Racha has a real record to target. Dammu and Gabbar Singh are the big releases coming very soon and let us see what happens !
