India, Oct. 16 -- Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna reunite on screen for Ranabaali, a period action drama set during one of the most difficult periods in India's colonial history. Directed by Rahul Sankrityan, the film tells the story of a warrior who stands up against British rule to protect his people. With its focus on the suffering of ordinary people, the film attempts to bring an important chapter of history to the big screen through a fictional story of resistance.

Vijay's intense performance, Rashmika's presence and the film's powerful moments work in its favour. However, the slow storytelling and lengthy runtime prevent Ranabaali from becoming an equally engaging experience throughout.
