**Hyderabad, February 21, 2024** – Dhanraj, known for his comedic roles in Telugu cinema, has stepped behind the camera for his directorial debut, “Ramam Raghavam.” The film, released today in Telugu and Tamil, stars Dhanraj himself alongside Samudrakani in a lead role. The film also features a supporting cast including Satya, Promodi, Sunil, Moksha, and Harish Uthaman.
The movie explores the complex relationship between a sincere registration officer, Dasaratha Ramam (Samudrakani), and his wayward son, Raghava (Dhanraj). Raghava’s involvement in illegal activities and his eventual plot against his father form the core of the narrative. The film is described as a sensitive portrayal of a father-son drama with elements of suspense and thriller.
Reviews have been mixed. While critics praise Dhanraj’s directorial skills in handling the sensitive subject matter and the emotional climax, particularly the performances of Samudrakani and Dhanraj, some feel the first half is slow-paced and lacks sufficient humor or a compelling love track. The music has also drawn criticism for its resemblance to older film scores.
Despite these shortcomings, the film’s strong emotional core and impactful climax have garnered positive attention. “Ramam Raghavam” is being marketed as an emotional drama highlighting the value of a father’s love and the consequences of wrong choices. The overall rating from reviewers is 2.75 out of 5 stars.
