1st Rank Raju is a 2019 Indian Telugu comedy-drama film written and directed by Naresh Kumar HN and produced by Manjunath VK.

Shruthi confesses her feelings for Raju one month later, but the latter scorns her because he is obsessed with obtaining first rank.

During a campus placement, one of the interviewers, Mr. Parthasarathy, rejects Raju, highlighting the latter's neurotic personality.

To complete the final activity, which is getting Shruthi to propose to Raju, his parents plan a fake birthday party.

Disillusioned by the series of events, Raju realizes that friendship and love are not syllabus, but sentiments that should not be toyed with.

One day, while relaxing near a river, Raju witnesses a young boy attempting suicide.

He watches a man pointing at a company campus and telling his son to achieve the first rank so that he may earn a place there.
