First want to tell about good things in movie. 1995 backdrop so director maintain that periodic trending and technology. Tried to imply few scenes related to govt work culture. Sam CS background score good. If good part is 30% other is 70%. Venu character didn't understand properly like his own dubbing. Emotions between important characters are not connected. Shown RT as ambidextrous didn't understand why, intentionally showing he has multi talented but didn't convince properly. Story is predictable. Last 30mns weaken more. Not much importance to many characters. Finally director had some talent in making but chosen weak story with poor screenplay.

But the direction is big let down ,some actors / actress acting is very foolish , music and songs are rubbish .
Emotions are not convincing . Hero charecterization is not that good .

Ramarao's was never on duty
flywithmeraman20 February 2023
Ramarao is one of the common name in yesteryear generation, so is the commonnes of this story. Pretty much similar with numerous police stories. Hurdles of the genuine police officer and his sttrugle to overcome for reaching a happy ending.
Raviteja's energy is everywhere and anytime. If there's anything new is the heroine's roles and to highlight hero Venu role.
The fights anyway test our patience to wait for the already known ending. Songs didn't disappoint to the level by taking us overseas while we wait for the end. Item girl Anveshi Jain needs a special mention for keeping up to the task. But another aspect of the patience testing episode is the hero's school love life. This episode didn't add any flavour onscreen. It would rather have better feel if narrated by a schoolmate/friend of the Hero.

Senseless Garbage
best-review29 July 2022
Script is Garbage, Direction is Senseless.
Raviteja is okay, female leads and all other actors are under utilised.
Venu is wasted.
Cinematography and Action Choreography is good.
Music and Editing are poor.
Not worth watching.

Old routine story of tollywood
pramodhiremath-3873029 July 2022
Old story',
Ravi Teja acting is good , but story and screen play was not good as expected,
You will remember some of old tollywood movies while watching this ,
BGM ASLO Not good at all Ravi Teja should try some of the experiment movies ,
Over all movie is flop.
Another disaster that could have been totally avoided.
nrgnmynmz2 August 2022
Story - Same old same old
Editing - Probbaly the worst I've even seen
Direction - Pretty average
Songs - Don't even talk about them. Ear torture.
Acting - RT is good as usual. Female lead role mediocre.
Fights - Ridiculous. Gravity defying nonsense.
BGM: OK Overall: Another trash movie unloaded on Telugu audience.
We should raise above such stupid movies!

nice movie
raakib-5106810 October 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Just opposite want telugu movies usually show. Ramarao is not a just a common action movie. This one has a nice plot and hero raviteja excellent and subtle perfromance unlike his usual expressions. Hero looks very young and fit. A lot of intriguing and engaging moments with an interesting plot. Some true events which i can recall reading in news. Some good content about missing people and their emotions good. Not only on action also movie focuses more on crime done around one area with valuable wood. Mass Maharaja :) :) wow in fights. He did emotion scenes also well. Last scene where the wood is saved, unexpected. I did not like the main don who reveals himself in the end.. but i doubt there is suspense to it. He's not the don..someone else coming later.
BORING SCRIPT AND SENSELESS
sufishaikh-8403120 September 2022
This movie is so boring that i have to watch it on 4X speed but still i waited for something interesting to happen but nothing is to watch in movie i just quit movie in half WORSE MOVIE I HAVE EVER SEEN Only things i liked was anveshi Jain in this movie REST ALL Things story , script, acting , characters , is worst.
Rama rao on duty is the worst south movie i have ever watched till now . This movie could have been better many ways . And length of movie is very huge like 3 hours for this movie is wastage of time . I wonder how people who have watched this movie in cinema would have felt by wasting 3 hours.

Super hit
lovelyravi-2121529 July 2022
Ravi teja selected a good scripit. The female leads are good. Ravi teja acts in peak level and the background score are also excellent. But some songs are just ok! In the movie twists are superrr. Preclimax fight is excellent.
Mass Overacting Teja
sheltonjohanson25 September 2022
A good story with bad script.
Filled with usual Teja antics.
Director struggles to bring an end to the story coherently.
The promise before title card was completely spoiled.
A large number of characters under utilised.
Would have been a great story if the main characters are reduced to 10 characters.

Superb Action 👌

Rama Rao on duty is a good film. In the film, I like the action scenes.
Action scenes are very good quality. Action direction and action choreography and others are very good. Mass maharaja Ravi Teja is a great actor. His Action, style, dialogues are superb. In The Movie, Crime drama thrilled is exciting. The movie is very enjoyable for me. Ravi Teja 's Action Always Powerful. Rama Rao on duty movie 's Screenplay, Cinematography, Direction are very good.
More!! Out of this Movie!!
This Movie Remind Me, Pushpa Movie because in the film, there's showing seesachalan jungle. Smuggling at Laal Chandan .

Complicated but gd at 2nd watch
s-1568810 October 2022
Leave the songs, though they look gd separately and not necessary for this kind of movie, The story narration is great. If you want to understand and enjoy the nmovie, watch it 2nd time.. The red sanders smuggling process explanation was eye opener and its so detailing unlike in other movies came with same backdrop. The best aspect of this movie screenplay is how it uses several investigations to reveal the mystery. Internal twist was unexpected but missing something, may be usual camera and editing opticals. Best fights in recent days and i like the train fight a lot and watched repeat. Hindi dubbing is not that well but i watched some portions in original. The item song is good. I didnot like portion when suddenly song comes in when serious scenes are going on. I think this director has no experience in placing songs. His unique style of narration of scenes and story is very good though.
pushpa type
h-5847110 October 2022
What works in this movie is entire story narration. Slowly picks up and natural performance of chracters. Praising ramarao character only one thing that bothered alot bcoz its toomuch. Best fights. Good songs. I like the villain portion episode operation mayam. John vijay character is good. I did not understand some portion when he explains how hero found missing men. But when i rewind and played it back, its nice. Interval scene is very good and venu character is nice. HIs voice seems to be dubbed by someone else and not good otherwise his body language is very entertaining. Big character after long time. If there is sequel, his character is nice. Pushpa connection in the end on milk tank is good idea but not sure how it going to be linked. Its a proper Tamil movie :) frankly. Good time pass with loads of content.
Rama Rao On Duty Movie Review: A Messy Mix Of Director's Vision And Actor's Image
shefali-5924429 July 2022
Warning: Spoilers
I'm not sure what to make of this version of Ravi Teja - the humorless machine that churns out senseless mass films. It's not even reaching the stage of "it's so senseless that it's ironically amazing" like with Balakrishna, where his films have merged self-deprecating irony with genuine masala. While Balakrishna tends to overcommit to his part here, Ravi Teja feels like a lazy rehash of himself from the past like an assembly line of films meant to be safe money spinners. The disappointment is two-fold. He is an actor who is capable of pulling off subtle films where he can play more vulnerable men on screen and also within this framework of masala films, he lent a freshness to them nearly a decade and a half ago.
Sadly, Rama Rao On Duty, while being better than his recent films, still doesn't become a great or even a good film.

Engaging suspense thriller
santoshchinnala17 September 2022
Sometimes people reject films based on the mood of the crowd.. expectations...Ramarao on duty is one such a film which has complete story engaging with suspense mindbending twists. This is best for OTT release..enjoy screenplay .. performances especially complex story linked to many characters..it is very difficult task to handle all the characters involved in the story..police gangsters.. department people are shown in real nature ..perfect blend of cinematography with background score by C Sam..sarath mandava has all the potential to bring the best out of his writing in terms of story telling..I hope he would manage to kick the pot.
Nice drama
sathi-8757731 July 2022
The movie is good, Ravi Teja is just a character in the movie, this should be one of his best characters. No usual comedy, no over expressions, no punch dialogs, no people flying in air in fights ( at least stunt man got some breath from flying) no direct involvement of villain (villain did not had cried dialogs)
Just an investigation movie.
Just an investigation movie.
Great Acting & Divyansha Kaushik 😍

good overall
pinookio10 October 2022
Warning: Spoilers
It starts with an old man. That one scene made me sit for 2 hours. Before Raviteja goes to his village, some portions are very slow and lot of drama. I skipped some places. After meeting his school friend, june papa.. it picks up. Its fully music and content driven. A lot places there is lot of info. Music is good. Sam khaidi, rocketery and ramarao.. nice. Climax fight is nice very realistic. Camera is also good. All the places director take natural approach. Night scenes are good and natural also. Lorry hiding scenes is very interesting. I dont know if villain is seen few times in the movie, i went to back and seen and understood. This character is well planted everywhere but only understood when i watch it again in portions. If you watch it first time, it wont be very appealing. Watch it again.. nice. Its actually a Old man story and after sometime, hero joins the same story.
Movie is really good
mallaravi-066091 August 2022
Mass Maharaj totally mind blowing
tvwpvsnv29 July 2022
