Chennai: Director Krishna Vamsi's latest Telugu film Govindudu Andarivadele may have opened to mixed reviews from critics but the filmmaker is extremely pleased with the response to the film from the audience.

"I made the film without any compromises, just the way I wanted to. I'm highly satisfied with the response from the viewers who have already made it a blockbuster. I read the scathing reviews from critics, but I respect their criticism and think the audience will watch a film only if they like it," Vamsi told IANS.

He said he was more concerned about actor Ram Charan's screen persona in the film.

"More than the performance of my film, I was worried about how the audience will accept Ram in a family entertainer. He's known for doing commercial films and I portrayed him in a role sans heroism. I'm glad he was accepted in this new avatar," he said.

The film which also features Kajal Agarwal, Kamalinee Mukherjee, Prakash Raj and Jayasudha, released on October 1, has raked in over Rs 30 crore worldwide in the first week.

Asked about the similarities that critics pointed out in his film vis-a-vis several family entertainers, he said: "There isn't usually much to play with in a family entertainer. You can compare any two films in this genre and you'll definitely find similarities. We still enjoy these films because somewhere it reminds us of our own family."
