Raju Weds Rambai

Despite a compelling core, this romance stays outdated. Raju Weds Rambai sets out to tell us a story that's as old as the hills.

Raju Weds Rambai's tone-deaf, crass treatment is the primary antagonist for a tragedy that demanded a more cautious, nuanced filmmaking approach. The climax repulses you for its shock value and nearly makes a saint out of Raju for his 'bravura' act, forgetting all his previous follies conveniently.
