Ranabaali Twitter Review
One viewer expressed disappointment with Ranabaali, stating that although the film had an expansive scale and a solid premise, its screenplay was tedious. They added that the stunning visuals and elaborate sets could not compensate for the lack of emotional depth and the flat performances, describing it as a boring watch. They further remarked that there was little positive to say about the film.
Another netizen praised Vijay Deverakonda’s performance, calling it a career-best and describing the interval fight sequence as a major highlight that guaranteed goosebumps. They also identified the song Edhandhaya Saami as the film’s biggest highlight and felt that it marked a strong comeback for the actor.
A third netizen appreciated the director’s research and the use of real locations but felt that the film lacked an emotional connection. They noted that its considerable potential had been undermined by a half-baked screenplay, sluggish pacing, and weak background music. However, they praised the performances of the lead actors and the supporting cast while pointing out that the film contained several unnecessary scenes.
Another viewer urged Vijay to bring someone on board to help him select better scripts, adding that fans had been waiting for his comeback for a long time.
