Vijay Deverakonda’s Ranabaali opened to mixed reviews, but the film has managed to record decent occupancy, thanks largely to the Dussehra holiday advantage.
The festive season has helped bring audiences to theatres, giving the period action drama a promising start. However, the real challenge lies ahead.
The film needs to collect substantial revenue to reach its break-even target, making a strong theatrical run essential. From Monday onwards, when regular working days begin, the film’s actual box office strength will be tested.
Vijay Deverakonda’s star power and the extensive promotional campaign could help sustain audience interest. Whether positive word of mouth can overcome the mixed reviews and keep collections steady remains the big question.
