''Cameraman Gangatho Rambabu'' was theatrically released worldwide on 18 October 2012, garnering positive reviews from critics.

== Plot ==
Rambabu is a short-tempered [[mechanic]] who has a kind heart as well as a tendency to react to various social incidents shown or published in the [[electronic media]]. After studying and observing his personality, Ganga, a [[cameraman]] from NC Channel, offers him a job as a [[journalist]], which he accepts. Jawahar Naidu, who is the state's ex-[[Chief minister (India)|CM]], tries to collapse the current government headed by Chandrasekhar Reddy and regain the post of CM, where he is strongly supported by his son, Rana "Ranababu" Naidu, a newbie to politics.

Dasaradh Ram is a reputed journalist who supplies proof of the scams and atrocities committed by Jawahar Naidu to NC channel, only to be brutally murdered by Ranababu. Although everyone, including the police, is aware that Ranababu is behind this, they remain silent out if fear. Rambabu valiantly opposes him and gets him arrested. However, Ranababu is released from prison with the help of his political contacts, and he challenges Rambabu to become the CM by using the media. A war ensues between Rambabu and Ranababu, where Rambabu enters politics. For gaining political mileage, Ranababu starts a movement opposing the presence of non-Telugu people in [[Andhra Pradesh]]. It gains huge traction and he even injures Rambabu severely, but he is rescued by Smitha, who works for a rival news channel.

Rambabu later joins Smitha's news channel after getting discharged from the hospital. He tricks Ranababu into making some controversial statements on air, thus destroying the momentum of his movement. To gain sympathy votes, Ranababu makes Jawahar Naidu deliver his last speech and kills him, which is secretly recorded by Ranababu's driver, who later calls Rambabu and Smitha to show them the video. After this, Smitha arrives and shoots Rambabu, where she steals the video and makes a deal with Ranababu to disclose the whole for a hefty price.

After Rambabu recuperates, he makes a dispassionate and successful appeal to the youth of Andhra Pradesh, who get influenced by his speech. The following day, Rambabu, along with a huge crowd, reaches the building where Ranababu is hosting a party for his colleagues. Rambabu sends a message to the [[Commissioner of Police (India)|Commissioner]] that Ranababu's guests should vacate the building to avoid being killed by the people along with Ranababu. Before leaving, Smitha orders to telecast the video, only to be murdered by Ranababu. Ranababu arrives outside with his pistol and shoots Rambabu, but he is killed in a stampede and Rambabu reaches an ambulance, accompanied by Ganga.

=== Box office ===
''Cameraman Gangatho Rambabu'' had a successful start, earning ₹13.5 crore on its opening day domestically and grossing ₹59.8 crore worldwide in theaters and became an above average.

== Controversy ==
The film sparked significant political tension in [[Andhra Pradesh]], as its characters were likened to leaders from the [[Telangana movement]]. [[Telangana Rashtra Samithi]] leader D. Sravan insisted that merely deleting certain scenes wouldn't appease the people and called for a complete ban on its screening. The [[Telugu Desam Party]] (TDP) also pushed for a ban, alleging that it not only portrayed their leaders unfavourably but also mocked [[N. Chandrababu Naidu]] and his son [[Nara Lokesh]]. TDP activists staged protests demanding the movie's prohibition. In an attempt to quell the controversy, the producers of ''Cameraman Gangatho Rambabu'' were compelled to eliminate objectionable content from the film.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Menon |first=Amarnath |date=29 October 2012 |title=Telangana Rashtra Samithi wants Andhra govt to ban Cameraman Ganga Tho Rambabu |url=https://www.indiatoday.in/india/south/story/telangana-rashtra-samithi-wants-andhra-govt-to-ban-cameraman-ganga-tho-rambabu-119967-2012-10-28 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230128180831/https://www.indiatoday.in/india/south/story/telangana-rashtra-samithi-wants-andhra-govt-to-ban-cameraman-ganga-tho-rambabu-119967-2012-10-28 |archive-date=28 January 2023 |access-date=31 May 2024 |website=India Today}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=20 October 2012 |title=Screening of Pawan's film stopped |url=https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/andhra-pradesh/screening-of-pawans-film-stopped/article4013708.ece |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231120161415/https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/andhra-pradesh/screening-of-pawans-film-stopped/article4013708.ece |archive-date=20 November 2023 |access-date=31 May 2024 |website=The Hindu}}</ref>
