Ram(Shaam) and lakshman aka lucky(Allu Arjun) are brothers who never get with each other since childhood. They always fight like tom and jerry. Ram is a sincere and respected police officer whereas lucky is unemployed who wishes to work in america. Lucky falls in love with spandana(shruthi hassan) who is daughter of a millionaire bheem prakash(prakash raj). Maddali shiva reddy(ravi kishan) is a local gangster who is going to join politics. When lucky meets bheem prakash to talk about his relationship with spandana, bheem prakash said that his brother ram said to him that lucky is unemployed living with his brother's income and refuses this relationship. Furious lucky has a fight with ram in the house and gets slapped by his mother. Lucky swears revenge to make ram lose his job. Ram gets evidence regarding siva reddy's criminal activities. He is supposed to present it before siva reddy signs the nomination for election. But at that time lucky steals ram's jeep in which the evidence was so that ram will get suspended. Siva reddy gets to know about ram's plan and hires goons to kill him. But the goons attack lucky who was in ram's car. When lucky comes to know that they were planning to kill ram his brotherly love awakens and bashes those goons and beats siva reddy black and blue before he signs for nomination and siva reddy is in coma. Siva reddy's father peddi reddy(mukesh rishi) is in search of the guy who put his son in coma and lucky himself appears infont of peddi reddy and explains him that why he did it and requests him not to trouble his family hereafter. Lucky plans to get ram hitched and searches for ram's love interest shwetha(saloni). Ram and shwetha unite and their wedding plans are started. At that time siva reddy wakes up from coma and comes to know lucky met his father. His father says that he spared so that you could take revenge on your own when you wake up. Siva reddy becomes minister without election and starts plotting against lucky and his family. First, he makes ram charged in a sexual assault and make him lose his job, then he demolishes their house and expose lucky to ram that he had stolen the jeep that day due to which ram throws him from the family. That moment, lucky is attacked by siva reddy's goons and is tied upside just like he tied siva reddy. Lucky challenges siva reddy that he will dethrone him soon. Will lucky win the challenge? For that watch race gurram.
Race gurram has 80% comedy and 20% action/mass. Allu arjun's character is an extension of his julayi character. The real highlight is bhramanandam as kill bill pandey who shines in the last 20 minutes. Shaam's fading career got ressurected with rg. Thaman's music is good after repeated listening. Ravi kishan sometimes gets on your nerves. Surender reddy uses his stylish making in parts.
But the movie is too long. Comedy is crass. There are lots of over the top sequences. Shruthi hassan's character was initially very interesting but she is soon turned into a typical heroine. I wished her character to be the same like in the beginning.
Before rg, allu arjun was only a mid range hero in tollywood. But after rg, allu arjun is today an A list actor of tollywood. But I never felt anything great in rg.

score 6/10
