This Diwali would be special for Telugu star Ravi Teja whose Raja The Great hit the screens on Wednesday. The film helmed by Anil Ravilpudi has earned a good opening on Diwali earning Rs 10 crore on Day 1.

Raja The Great stars Mehreen Pirzada and Radhika Sarathkumar along with the Ravi Teja. The actor, who also known as Mass Maharaja, known for his commercial ventures. In Raja the Great, he plays a blind man who uses his other senses to fight. The film is Anil Ravilpudi’s third directorial venture, with both of his earlier projects being hits. Raja The Great also features Ravi Teja’s son who essays Ravi’s younger self in the movie.

Box office of Raja The Great

While the film working wonders at the box office, the film has panned by critics.critic Manoj Kumar in his review wrote, “If you are willing to turn off your ability to think rationally for few hours, you can hope to be mildly entertained. You know that the logic has gone out the window, the moment you see Devaraj (Vivan Bhatena), kill a bunch of witnesses in front of a fully armed team of cops.

You know there is no place for rationality when Devaraj slaughters a bunch of high-ranking cops with impunity in the next scene. And you know you can’t expect continuity when the top police officials don’t take action on Devaraj and move on without breaking a sweat about him killing their colleagues. That’s when you remind yourself it a Ravi Teja film, which directed by Anil Ravipudi and it will help you in keeping your sanity intact in a highly nonsensical situation you find yourself in while watching this film.”
