Director Raj Nidimoru's latest production, Maa Inti Bangaaram, has achieved significant success at the box office. Starring Samantha Ruth Prabhu, the film has received positive reviews from both critics and audiences. In a recent interview, Raj revealed that Maa Inti Bangaaram has earned him more appreciation than some of his previous successes, including Stree and The Family Man.
When asked about the success of Maa Inti Bangaaram, Raj stated, "We did so much in Hindi. The Family Man and Stree came and became blockbusters, but I got greater appreciation for Maa Inti Bangaaram than I did for them. So it is very special. Every time I feel like so many people are watching."
Raj also spoke about the challenges involved in producing films independently, recalling the risks he faced while backing Stree. He mentioned that Maa Inti Bangaaram faced similar hurdles, including budget constraints and uncertainty over its prospects.
Over the years, Raj has backed several successful films and streaming shows, including Stree and The Family Man. Maa Inti Bangaaram, directed by B. V. Nandini Reddy and produced by Samantha Ruth Prabhu, Raj Nidimoru, and Himank Reddy Duvvuru, stars Samantha in the lead role alongside Gulshan Devaiah and Diganth Manchale.
The film follows Swarna, also known as Jhansi, as she meets her husband's family for the first time. While trying to win them over as the perfect daughter-in-law, a mysterious figure named Karuna resurfaces from her past, threatening to shatter her new life. Swarna must not only overcome her in-laws' expectations but also confront the darkness she has long tried to leave behind.
Maa Inti Bangaaram has collected around ₹35 crore at the domestic box office in its first seven days and crossed ₹50 crore worldwide. It remains to be seen whether the film can maintain its momentum and eventually enter the ₹100 crore club.
