Top 3 spot confirmed for Racha!

Mass movies will never impress critics and they don't get better reviews from anyone, but if they strike the right chords with the target audience, then sky is the limit. Most of the frontline critics have written off Racha as a poorly made film, but they failed to read the commercially viable elements in the film. That is the reason why the film got super hit talk right from the first show.

Other heroes fans and the people who have written it off waited for the film to slow down after first weekend. But Racha's racha continued until the first week records were shattered. Even then it hasn't slowed down. The collections on 13th day are steady without a hint of drop. 2 weeks collections of Racha will stand above 2 weeks collections of Businessman, which is currently in the 3rd spot in all time hits list.

After Magadheera (70+ crores), Dookudu (55+ crores) only Businessman managed to cross 40 crore mark and it is right now in the third position. But Racha is going to take its place for sure as per the collections trend. There will not be any strong opposition for Racha in its third week too. Therefore the dream run will continue until Dammu arrives. Which means Racha in all probabilities will make it to top 3 list. Of course if Dhammu clicks and reach the expectations then Racha's third rank would be at stake. Who knows even Dookudu might be toppled if not Magadheera.

Ram Charan no more a one-film wonder

The success of Racha has not only given a grand start to the Tollywood in the summer season but for Ram Charan as well.

Although Ram Charan proved his mettle as an actor with magnum opus Magadheera, most of the credit for the film's success has gone to SS Rajamouli. Finally, Racha has showcased the actual calibre of Ram Charan and its success is also a proof of his strong following among the masses. Though Sampath Nandi is not a big name in the Industry, Charan pulled it off with his star power. It's once again proven that directors can make commercially viable films, but the reach and the collections depend mostly on the heroes.

With this success, Charan got rid of the 'one-film wonder' tag and also sent indications that he is a hot contender for the No.1 slot. Who doesn't want to be on the top? Mahesh and NTR - Are you watching?
