Naga Chaitanya returns with a bang

After not-so-impressive previous outing `Sahasam Swasaga Sagipo’, the scion of Akkineni family Chai returns with a bang as he delivers a decent hit `Ra Randoi Veduka Choodam’ and silenced his detractors.

Even though, the film was panned by critics for routine plotline and dreary screenplay the onscreen chemistry between Naga Chaitanya and Rakul Preet Singh has worked wonders, besides the family emotions and a few comedy scenes attracted summer holiday crowds in good number.

Despite compeition from films like `Kesava’, director Kalyana Krishna’s entertainer garnered more than Rs 14 crore(net collections) in one week and expected to collect another four to five crores, according to trade circles.

“It is going to be one of the biggest grossers in Chaitanya’s career since its collections remained steady despite a few new releases and expected to draw in more crowds in subsequent weeks. No doubt, it had the advantage of holiday crowds but it grabbed eyeballs of family viewers that’s the key for its big success,’ says distributor Bharat Bhushan.

Actually, prior to release, the film received flak over sexist remarks of actor Chalapathi Rao, but eventually, the emotional drama turned out to be a big winner for Akkineni clan.
