Racha vs Dammu - Complete Comparisons

Racha - Old Wine in 'Costly' Bottle!

Dammu - Old Wine in 'Royal' Bottle!


Ram Charan - Played the role of street-smart guy. He excels in dances and fights. Improves his dialogue delivery when compared to his previous films. Fails to emote well in emotional scenes
 
NTR - Played the heir of Royal dynasty. He comes up with just ordinary dance moves, but does a decent job in fights. Has the ability of outshining even 100 actors in a single frame with his flawless dialogue delivery. Outstanding performance in emotional scenes.
