Ranabaali earns Rs 24.50 crore worldwide in two days
Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna's Ranabaali collected Rs 24.50 crore worldwide in two days; trade estimates put the opening weekend near Rs 35 crore.
Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna’s Ranabaali has opened below the level its scale demanded. The Telugu period action drama collected an estimated Rs 24.50 crore worldwide in its first two days, according to trade figures shared by Pinkvilla.
The domestic market contributed around Rs 16.75 crore, while the overseas total stood at about USD 825K. In simple terms, that is a soft start for a film described as a costly production.
Why the opening feels low
Period action dramas usually need a big opening weekend to justify their budgets, especially when a film is built around two popular leads. Here, Ranabaali is not just facing a modest number; it is also dealing with mixed word of mouth from early audiences.
Pinkvilla notes that the Day 2 hold is not bad, but that the film needs “something special” from this low base. The current trade estimate puts the opening weekend at around Rs 35 crore worldwide, which makes the next day a critical test.
- Two-day worldwide total: Rs 24.50 crore
- Domestic share: approximately Rs 16.75 crore
- Overseas share: approximately USD 825K
- Opening weekend estimate: around Rs 35 crore
The bigger picture for Vijay Deverakonda
For Vijay Deverakonda, Ranabaali adds another chapter to a challenging commercial run. He is consistently being recognised for his effort on screen, but the box office result is not matching that effort. Rashmika Mandanna’s presence gives the film a broader pull, yet mixed reviews are limiting repeat viewing.
Directed by Rahul Sankrityan, the film needed audiences to turn out in large numbers early. That did not happen, and with a costly production, the margin for recovery is smaller.
What to watch next
The Sunday figure and the Monday hold will tell us whether Ranabaali can stabilise or whether it will settle far below what a film of this size needs. For fans, the early numbers are also a signal of how strongly the audience is connecting with the story; with mixed word of mouth, many potential viewers wait for more reactions before booking tickets.
For now, the opening weekend estimate near Rs 35 crore is the first milestone to clear.
