Ranabaali has released in theatres today after much anticipation from fans of Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna . The cast and crew still did a success meet of the film on Friday evening, where Vijay Deverakonda declared that this will be one of the best in Telugu cinema in 2026.

However, Ranabaali received mixed reviews upon release.
If I have speak about my filmography, this is my 14th film… and I believe that Ranabaali will be one such film which will be important even when I do 25-30 films… that film and that performance that will leave an impact. Vijay stood on stage and thanked everyone for supporting the film and giving it so much love. I kept telling her, mummy, this is just a movie. But she kept sobbing loudly…we don’t usually cry like that in public. I had to ask Rushi to go sit with her for a while. The reviews and ratings on BookMyShow have since been disabled for the film.
I am so proud of this film as I have said earlier ahead of the release. He added, “Yesterday when I saw the film, I felt this will be one of the best films of Telugu cinema this year. This is one such film, I knew it yesterday. Vijay also remarked that his mother had to be consoled while watching Ranabaali, saying, “I watched the film thrice: twice during editing and once yesterday, when I saw the final cut with CGI and music. But when I watched the scenes yesterday, I was choking up, and my mom broke down sobbing as she sat behind me. Meanwhile, a Bengaluru court granted an ex parte interim relief against defamatory and false content about Ranabaali across social media platforms on Friday, right before its release.
