Key Highlights

  • Ranabaali released today starring Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna
  • Audiences reported low sound levels in some theatres on opening day
  • Makers instructed theatres to increase sound to 6 or 6.6 for optimal experience
  • Production house Mythri Movie Makers responded promptly to the issue

Vijay Deverakonda’s period action drama Ranabaali, directed by Rahul Sankrityan, arrived in cinemas today, marking another collaboration between the actor and the filmmaker after their work on Taxiwaala. However, the film’s release was met with immediate feedback from audiences who noticed that the sound levels in certain scenes were unusually low, affecting their viewing experience.

Reports indicate that some theatres screened Ranabaali at a sound level of 5.6, which the makers clarified is not the intended standard. Responding to the concerns, the production house Mythri Movie Makers issued a note to distributors, instructing them to advise theatres to increase the sound levels to either 6 or 6.6. This adjustment, the team stated, is necessary for audiences to experience the film with the full impact of Ajay-Atul’s musical score and the intended audio design.

Rashmika Mandanna stars opposite Vijay Deverakonda in this period drama, which has generated considerable attention since its announcement. The swift action by the makers demonstrates their commitment to ensuring viewers receive the best possible experience. As per the official communication, “5.6 isn’t the optimal level,” and the team emphasized the importance of adhering to the new guidelines.

The sound issue and the proactive response have become a talking point among moviegoers and on social media, with many expressing hope that the adjustment will enhance the film’s impact in theatres. Ranabaali’s opening day has been closely watched by fans, especially given the anticipation built up by the star cast and production house. The coming days will reveal whether the improved sound levels lead to a more favorable audience reception.
