Rating: 2.75/5
Cast: Akhil Raj Uddemari, Tejaswini Rao, Chaitanya Jonnalagadda, Shivaji Raja, and others
Director: Saailu Kaampati
Produced By: Venu Udugula and Rahul Mopidevi

Based on a real-life love story incident from fifteen years ago, “Raju Weds Rambai” is a rooted village love story, directed by Saailu Kaampati. The film has generated significant buzz among audiences with its impressive trailer, and let’s determine if it meets expectations in our review.

Story:

The film follows the love story of Raju and Rambai, who face many hardships to make their relationship successful and discover what fate has planned for them.

Performances:

Akhil Uddemari and Tejaswi Rao play the lead roles. As a newcomer, Akhil performs very well and shows impressive talent. Tejaswi Rao brings honesty and natural emotion to her character. Chaitu Jonnalagadda fits his role and delivers some strong moments, but his character could have had more depth. Shivaji Raja and Anitha Chowdary, who play the hero’s parents, also make a solid impact.

Analysis:

Written and directed by Saailu Kaampati, Raju Weds Rambai is set in a village and immediately creates an authentic atmosphere. The first half feels predictable, but the chemistry between the leads keeps it engaging. The interval episode is not surprising, but it still works emotionally.

As expected, the second half becomes more emotional, but the love story lacks fresh twists or strong moments, making it easy for viewers to predict the journey. Their struggles could have been shown with more intensity. For example, the scene where the heroine decides to get pregnant is powerful in writing, but the emotional weight doesn’t fully translate on screen.

The heroine’s father could have been portrayed more strongly to increase the tension, but he gets impactful moments only occasionally.

However, the film gains strength as it moves toward the climax. The ending, which presents real events along with actual press cuttings, leaves a lasting impression.

Positives:

  • Performances
  • Emotional Scenes/Dialogues
  • Music
  • Hard Hitting Climax

Negatives:

  • Predictabl Scenes
  • Weak Handling of Heroine’s Father haracter
  • Few Dull Moments

Raju Weds Rambai Review and Verdict:

Overall, Raju Weds Rambai offers a decent love story with convincing performances, some engaging moments, and a striking climax. While the film suffers from a familiar tone and some weak scenes in the second half, the unexpected ending makes a strong impact.

Akhanda 2 Andhra Pradesh Business: Area-Wise Breakdown

The buzz around Balakrishna and Boyapati Sreenu’s Akhanda 2 in trade circles is solid, and the film has registered the biggest business in Balakrishna’s career. 

Andhra (6 Areas) Business details of Akhanda 2:

  • Guntur – 9.50 Cr
  • East Godavari – 8.25 Cr
  • Krishna – 7 Cr
  • West Godavari – 6.5 Cr
  • Nellore – 4.4 Cr

The film’s total Andhra business is in the ₹50 Cr range. Moreover, the film’s Ceeded internal business ratio is ₹24 Cr, which is the biggest ever for a senior hero and one of the highest in Tollywood. 

Akhanda 2 has registered the biggest business in Balakrishna’s career, and it is on par with Tier-1 stars’ pan-India movies’ business.

The much awaited sequel has shown the mass power of the Balakrishna–Boyapati Sreenu combination.

The total Andhra Pradesh business of the film is close to 75 Cr, and the negotiations regarding the Nizam area are going on. 

Including Andhra and Nizam, the Akhanda sequel’s Telugu states business exceeds 100 Cr, and it is the first ever 100 Cr business film for Balakrishna. With overseas and ROI, the total theatrical business of the film is close to 125 Cr.

Jana Nayagan Telugu Version: Producers Take the Risk

Vijay’s Jana Nayagan, produced by KVN Productions, has been announced for a 9th January, 2026 release, and the film’s Telugu version business has been completed with a risk. 

If we look at the recent form of Vijay, his films have consistently delivered notable numbers in the Telugu states. But Jana Nayagan is different from them because the buzz is that it is a remake of the Telugu superhit Bhagavanth Kesari.

If it is a remake of a Telugu film, audiences may not show much interest in watching it. Another reason is that the film is arriving on Sankranti, the season in which Telugu films are already packed with many releases.

Jana Nayagan Telugu States: Not So Encouraging Trend or Buzz

So, finding theaters for Jana Nayagan will be very tough, and the distributors cannot buy the Telugu version on an outright basis, as it carries a big risk.

Still, the producers are set to take the risk and releasing the film by just taking an advance from the Telugu distributor, and the total advance is refundable. 

There was a buzz that a prominent producer is releasing Jana Nayagan film in Telugu states by paying 9 Cr in advance. 

The advantage with Jana Nayagan is the film’s production house is KVN Productions, which is also making Yash’s Toxic. So, Jana Nayagan’s distributor is likely to release Toxic in Telugu as well, and if there is any risk in advance, that can be adjusted immediately in Toxic’s deal.

The Raja Saab Uttarandhra Rights Closed

Prabhas fans are eagerly waiting for the first single of The Raja Saab, and despite some unofficial reports, the makers still have not announced anything officially. But the business of the film is going strong, and the latest news is that Raja Saab’s Uttarandhra business has been closed.

Uttarandhra is the biggest territory in Coastal Andhra, as it covers more than 1/4th of business and collections. The Raja Saab, which was scheduled for release on 9th January, has sold its rights for the Uttarandhra region for a very big price despite the Sankranthi Competition. 

The rights are bought by Poorvi Pictures for 19 Cr, including GST. At this rate Coastal Andhra (6 Territories) ratio will be around 75 Cr for this horror comedy.

The Raja Saab team is gearing up for promotions from this weekend as per buzz, and an update regarding the film’s first song will be out this weekend. The team is 100% sure it will be released on January 9th as planned and has informed distributors that there is no chance of postponement.

Akhanda 2 Nizam Deal Still Hanging

Akhanda 2 Nizam Deal Still Hanging

There are just 2 weeks left for Akhanda 2’s theatrical release, and while all other areas’ business for the Balakrishna starrer has been closed for record prices, the Nizam area is said to be still open.

Reportedly, the makers are quoting 30 Cr, but the offers are said to be not matching their expectations, and that is the reason they are not convinced to give the rights at a lower price. 

It is being said that multiple distributors have tried their luck to get the Akhanda 2 Nizam rights, but due to the unsuccessful negotiations, they had to take a back step. Dil Raju is said to be in final discussions to buy this biggie’s rights, and we need to see whether the negotiations with him will go well or the makers choose the film on their own.

Compared to other areas, Nizam is a weaker territory for both Balakrishna and Boyapati Srinu, which might explain why distributors are hesitant to pay 30 Cr.

Ranveer Singh’s Release Puts Pressure on Balakrishna

Balakrishna and Boyapati Sreenu’s Akhanda 2 has generated significant hype among audiences, and the makers also have high hopes for its Hindi version, which appears to be facing pressure due to Ranveer Singh’s film, Dhurandhar, which is also being released on the same day.

Bollywood actor Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar, which is releasing on 5th December, has created massive anticipation after the trailer release, and Akhanda 2 has to face it, and it needs to hit it out of the park to bring Hindi audiences to theaters. 

The team is expecting very good numbers in the Hindi markets, but if Dhurandhar gets positive talk, then certainly it will affect the collections of the Akhanda sequel in Hindi markets.

Dhurandhar is written, directed, and produced by Aditya Dhar, who previously made Uri: The Surgical Strike. It has a star-studded cast that includes Arjun Rampal, Sanjay Dutt, R. Madhavan, Akshaye Khanna, and Ranveer Singh. Jio Studios is presenting the film, which is set to release on December 5.

Suriya Collaborates Again With a Telugu Director

Suriya is working with Telugu director Venky Atluri, planning a Summer 2026 release, and he’s also about to team up with another Telugu director for a new film. This will be super happy news for the Telugu fans of the actor.

Suriya’s 46th film, a family entertainer directed by Venky Atluri and produced by Sitara Entertainments, is slated for a Summer 2026 release. The Soorarai Pottru actor has also signed a film with Malayalam director Jithu Madhavan.

Now Suriya is said to be in final talks with another Telugu director, Vivek Athreya, for a new film. Vivek’s recent film Saripodha Sanivaaram with Nani proved he is capable of delivering a mass commercial film.

There was some buzz a few days ago that Vivek Athreya was in talks with superstar Rajinikanth, but that didn’t come to fruition. Now, the word is that the project is moving forward with Suriya, under the Mythri Movie Makers banner.

In recent days, Vijay, Rajinikanth, and Ajith are reportedly asking for very high remuneration, and Vijay is also stepping away from films. Consequently, Suriya has emerged as a reliable choice for Telugu producers looking to create Tamil-Telugu bilingual films.

That’s why multiple Telugu producers are currently in talks with the actor for new films.
