Comedy King Allari Naresh seems to be finding his way back into the comedy zone that once became his strongest identity with Telugu moviegoers. His latest outing, Ramba Oorvasi Menaka, has made a reasonably positive beginning at the box office, registering a worldwide gross of 4.40 crore in its opening three days.
The more significant takeaway from the weekend is not just the overall figure, but where the film is finding acceptance. The response in B and C centres has been encouraging, particularly because these were among the key territories where Naresh’s comedy films enjoyed strong patronage during his successful phase as a comedy hero.
The renewed interest in seeing Naresh in this space appears to be working in the movie’s favour, especially among audiences familiar with his earlier entertainers.
At the same time, the film has another element helping it connect beyond pure comedy. The mother sentiment adds an emotional layer to the proceedings and appears to be drawing family audiences as well, giving the movie a broader appeal.
Directed by Chandra Mohan and produced by Razesh Danda under Hasya Movies in association with Prasad Nimmakayala on Annapurna Studios, the film now enters the crucial weekday phase. BookMyShow activity has been showing encouraging momentum.
