Famine-era resistance story
Directed by Rahul Sankrityan, 'Ranabaali' draws on the Great Madras Famine of 1876–78 to tell a story of resistance against British colonial rule. Vijay Deverakonda plays Singanamala Bobbili Ranabaali, a man who challenges the oppressive regime amid widespread suffering, while Rashmika Mandanna portrays Jayamma, his wife. The narrative traces how colonial policies deepened the famine and how Ranabaali emerges as a protector of the affected people.
The Times of India's ETimes review awarded the film three-and-a-half out of five stars, praising Deverakonda's portrayal of the determined protagonist and Mandanna's restrained performance as Jayamma.
The Times of India notes that its box office figures are compiled from public and industry sources and are approximate unless confirmed by official studio data.
