Ranabaali box office update

Ranabaali managed an opening day haul at ₹9.25 crore. It has failed to surpass the opening-day haul of Vijay's last release, Kingdom. The 2025 release has collected ₹15 crore on its opening day. It also did not beat the opening-day business of his 2019 release, Liger ( ₹15.95 crore), which is also the highest opening of his career.

The latest update from Sacnilk states that Ranabaali collected ₹5.92 crore. This brings the total India net collection to ₹22.47 crore by 8 PM.

About Ranabaali

Ranabaali is directed by Rahul Sankrityan and produced by Mythri Movie Makers. It stars Vijay and Rashmika for the first time since their Udaipur wedding in February. It’s also their first movie together since Geetha Govindam (2018) and Dear Comrade (2019). Arnold Vosloo, Easwari Rao, and others star in key roles in the film.

Set in the 1800s Madras presidency, Ranabaali tells the story of how British colonial rule created a man-made famine in India just to export more grain to Britain. Vijay plays the titular role, a man who fights back against oppression when he sees people around him starving and dying.

Addressing fans in Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh, Vijay spoke about Ranabaali and said, “When I wanted to become an actor, I recalled how they would show us English films like Braveheart and Schindler's List. I watched Inglourious Basterds once I grew up. When I watched these films, I hoped I would make something similar when I became an actor.”

He then claimed that Ranabaali was an Indian version of these films, stating, “Ranabaali is our Indian mass-commercial way of telling a Braveheart, Schindler's List, and Inglourious Basterds. This is our history, our culture. It will take you to a whole new world for 2 hours and 50 minutes. This is my guarantee.”
