"Some people felt emotional watching the scene where the father hits his daughter - I felt it too. We succeeded once again in identifying great content," said distributor Bunny Vasu at the first post-release meet of Raju Weds Rambai. The film opened in theatres with Thursday evening premieres. He further stated that everyone, be it lovers or their elders who are inclined to oppose their children's relationships, are liking the movie, co-starring Akhil Raj and Tejaswini Rao in titular roles.
Producer Rahul Mopidevi stated that they had believed that story would work well with audiences in theatres, and that belief had come true. Distributor Vamsi Nandipati said that he makes it a point to personally read the pulse of the audience watching his movies in theatres. Raju Weds Rambai's content has been able to emotionally connect with the audience, he said.
Producer Venu Udugula said that the pre-release claim that the last 30 minutes of the film would be hard-hitting has been borne out. He mentioned that audiences are finding the film emotional and mind-blowing, and since reviews are positive and trade analysts predict the trend will continue, he concluded that ETV Win has "set a benchmark in bringing small films to the masses."
ETV Win Creative Producer Tanmay appreciated director Saailu Kaampati for bringing the "love story to the screen with honesty". The movie is the result of two years of relentless effort. Presenter Dr. Nageshwar Rao Poojari opined that the film is a must-see not only for youngsters but also for families. "This is one of the most intense love stories to come in recent times," he added.
ETV Win Head Sai Krishna said that they became more excited about the film "after hearing Suresh Bobbili’s songs," which is when they decided the film must release theatrically. He mentioned that they "strongly believed in bringing it to theatres," and that lower ticket prices also helped the film. ETV Win Content Head Nithin remarked that those who had doubted what a newcomer could do are now getting their answer with the theatre response. He declared, "From today, our film has begun its triumphant run."
Director Saailu Kampati, who was speechless by the reception, thanked ETV Win's backing. He expressed his gratefulness to the media. He made a brief reference to his statement before the movie's release that he would walk semi-naked on the streets of Ameerpet if the film didn't receive positive response.
Hero Akhil Raj emotionally shared that his ten years of struggle had finally paid off with that film. He mentioned that he had been emotional since morning. He claimed that 2,000 tickets were being booked every hour on BookMyShow, which, he believed, proved their film's success.
Heroine Tejaswini said that audiences were connecting with every emotion in Raju Weds Rambai. She mentioned that one of her friends had called and said that she had cried out of happiness after watching it. She concluded by saying that everywhere they visited, theatres were filled with excitement.
Music director Suresh Bobbili is thrilled, especially because the success of this movie means that he is here to stay for "three more years". Editor Naresh Adupa praised the relentless hard work of the entire crew.
Actor Chaitanya Jonnalagadda, who played the heroine's violent father, has been checking with people to know the talk on the ground. And the response everywhere is that it's a "super hit". The impact of his spiteful character is so much that the audience are disgusted by it, he suggested. "Bunny Vasu sir told me before release that this role would be memorable in my career, and today his words came true," he added.
