Raju Weds Rambai story is written by Saailu Kaampati. He drew inspiration from real life incidents and came up with an emotional love story in the village backdrop to captivate all.
He starts the narration introducing various characters and all these are done in a natural manner. The lead pair falling in love also goes in a usual trope and the exception is the heroine's father who is shown with a disability. After the blossoming of love and the opposition and the subsequent developments, the first half ends with an interesting interval block.
The second half is loaded with powerful emotions and the intense climax with a twist is landed and provided the shock value. For all the emotions and powerful performances, at times one gets a feeling that it gets overboard. The story's wafer thin and repetitive scenes also hinder the experience somewhat. But, the climax twist and lead pair's realistic performances bring emotional depth.
Music of Suresh Bobbili is good. Songs are situational and has village beats. The background score elevated the scenes to the next level. Wajid Baig's Cinematography is good. He showed the village atmosphere in a realistic and natural way capturing the locations in a appealing way. The editing of Naresh Adupa left a lot to be desired. There are many scenes and repetitive elements that dragged the pace of the narration. Dialogues are ok and production values are decent.
Altogether, Raju Weds Rambai turns out to be a emotional rustic romantic entertainer. Director Saailu Kaampati came with love story in rural backdrop and loaded with intense emotions. He got decent output from the cast and crew. However repetitive scenes, going over the top at times and direction marred the final outcome. But, the emotional scenes, performances and haunting climax worked in favour of the film. Considering all these aspects, Cinejosh goes with a 2.5 rating for Raju Weds Rambai.
