Allari Naresh's 'Ramba Oorvasi Menaka' gets U/A cert, hits cinemas Sep 4
Synopsis
Key Takeaways
The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has cleared Allari Naresh's upcoming fantasy comedy 'Ramba Oorvasi Menaka' for theatrical release with a U/A certificate, with the film set to arrive in cinemas on 4 September. Directed by Chandra Mohan Chintada, the film is presented by the iconic Annapurna Studios in association with Hasya Movies.
Official Clearance Confirmed
Annapurna Studios shared the certification news on social media platform X, writing: 'U/A Certified. All Clear for Release. It's time for Full-On Entertainment in theatres. #RambaOorvasiMenaka IN CINEMAS ON SEPTEMBER 4th.' The post confirmed that the long-awaited comedy entertainer has crossed its final pre-release hurdle.
Nagarjuna's Stamp of Affection
Telugu star Nagarjuna had earlier unveiled the film's trailer on X, expressing personal warmth for the project. 'From EVV Satyanarayana garu to dearest Allari Naresh, this bond is truly close to my heart. So happy to collaborate with Naresh once again under the Annapurna Studios banner! Best wishes to the team of #RambaOorvasiMenaka. A complete laughter riot arriving in theatres on September 4th!' he said. The reference to the late director EVV Satyanarayana — with whom both Nagarjuna and Naresh had collaborated extensively — adds an emotional layer to the film's release.
What the Film Is About
The film follows Suri, played by Allari Naresh, whose years of prayers are answered when celestial apsaras Ramba, Oorvasi, and Menaka descend to earth — but without their divine powers. Their arrival triggers a cascade of comic chaos: his girlfriend is furious, the police come calling, and his mother is fighting for her life in hospital, all while Lord Indra hurls further challenges his way. The premise blends mythology, rural humour, and whimsical fantasy into what the makers describe as a 'colourful and unconventional' entertainer.
Cast and Technical Credits
Surabhi plays the female lead opposite Naresh, while Vennela Kishore portrays Lord Indra in what promises to be a scene-stealing turn. The three apsaras are brought to life by Rashi Singh, Vishnupriya, and Prisha Singh. On the technical side, Raam Reddy handles cinematography, Brahma Kadali oversees production design, Chaitan Bharadwaj has scored the music, and Chota K Prasad is the editor. The film is produced by Razesh Danda and Nimmakayala Prasad.
Naresh Back in His Zone
The release marks Allari Naresh's return to the fantasy-comedy genre that built his mass following in Telugu cinema. Known for his comic timing and energetic screen presence, Naresh appears, according to early trailer reactions, completely at ease in the role — bringing the innocence and timing that have defined his brand. With the CBFC clearance secured, all eyes are now on the 4 September box-office opening.
