Rangasthalam enters Rs 200 crore club; becomes biggest grosser in Ram Charan’s career

Rangasthalam, which is Ram Charan’s first outing in a rural avatar, has become the biggest grosser in his career, entering the Rs 200 crore club.

Ram Charan’s latest outing Rangasthalam has struck jackpot at the box-office as it continues its run in select screens across the country. Having already emerged as the third highest grossing Telugu film since the Baahubali franchise, the film on Monday entered the Rs 200 crore club, according to its makers.

Rangasthalam features Ram Charan in his first-ever rural avatar.

The makers made the announcement via an official poster.

After impressing critics and audiences alike, the Sukumar directed village-based revenge drama has won over Pawan Kalyan, who recently watched the film and was mesmerized by the overall experience.

Speaking at the success meet of Rangasthalam, Kalyan said that the film never felt like watching a film. “It felt like watching a real story of real people. I was transported to a place called Rangasthalam and watching the film felt so life-like. The actors lived their parts. Sukumar has reminded us that it possible to make a realistic film that’s equally commercial.”

Talking more about the film and Ram Charan’s performance, Kalyan said: “Rangasthalam deserves the same kind of support that we gave Baahubali and it should be sent to the Oscars, even if it takes a lot of lobbying. The film showcases Ram Charan’s artistic talent. He’s a complete actor. It amazed me to see Ram Charan in an avatar, sporting thick beard and wearing dhoti. He was born and raised in a city and to see him transform so convincingly into a rural character astonished me.”

Kalyan also heaped praise on Samantha for her performance. “She’s delivered a fine performance at a time when most of us thought she’d quit acting since she’s married.”
