In an era dominated by big-budget spectacles and larger-than-life heroes, a small Telugu film has quietly turned the tables. Raju Weds Rambai, starring debutants Akhil Raj and Tejaswini Gowda, and directed by first-time filmmaker Sailu Kompati, has crossed ₹7.28 crore in its opening weekend, proving that heartfelt storytelling still rules the box office.

A Love Story That Feels Like Home

At its core, Raju Weds Rambai is an old-school romantic drama set in the lush green fields of coastal Andhra. Raju (Akhil Raj) is a happy-go-lucky village youth who falls head over heels for Rambai (Tejaswini), a strong-willed girl with dreams bigger than her circumstances. What starts as typical boy-meets-girl soon turns into an emotional roller-coaster when family pressures, caste equations, and societal expectations threaten to tear them apart.

The beauty of the film lies in its simplicity. There are no over-the-top action sequences or forced comedy tracks. Instead, director Sailu Kompati lets the characters breathe. The dialogues feel like conversations you’ve overheard at a bus stop or a wedding mandap. The music, composed by Shashi Preetam, blends folk melodies with soulful melodies that stay with you long after the credits roll.

Debutants Who Deliver Magic

Akhil Raj and Tejaswini Gowda might be new names, but they perform like seasoned artists. Akhil brings an infectious charm and raw vulnerability that makes Raju instantly relatable, while Tejaswini shines as the fiery yet emotional Rambai. Their chemistry is the soul of the film—natural, unforced, and deeply moving. Supporting actors like Praveen, Getup Srinu, and Vasu Inturi add wholesome humor without ever stealing the spotlight.

The Power of Word-of-Mouth

Released with minimal hype and limited screens, Raju Weds Rambai opened to average occupancy on day one. But by Saturday evening, theaters were packed. Families walked out teary-eyed, couples were seen holding hands tighter, and youngsters couldn’t stop talking about “that interval block.”

Social media exploded with heartfelt reviews:

• “Finally a clean family entertainer after ages!”
• “Cried like a baby in the climax… take your parents to this one.”
• “Akhil and Tejaswini are here to stay!”

This organic buzz pushed the film from ₹1.15 crore on day one to ₹2.68 crore on day two and a whopping ₹3.45 crore on Sunday, taking the three-day total to an impressive ₹7.28 crore (including premieres).
