#RanaBaali is a decent film. It definitely didn’t deserve such harsh reviews. VD’s acting takes time for us to get adjusted but he tried to perform differently as per those times. Ranabaali and Jayamma’s portions were good. I really liked how they integrated the famine aspect and the emotion worked for some sequences.
I feel the major villain of this film is the music director. For example, the sequence where VD saves the girl - it’s emotionally riveting but there’s no BG score. This is the case for few other major scenes. Also some of the action choreography could’ve been staged better. The second half could’ve been better as it gets repetitive.
Good watch for sure. Rahul is a talented filmmaker and I really appreciate his research around this buried famine story

Meditation is to be aware of every thought and of every feeling, never to say it is right or wrong, but just to watch it and move with it. In that watching, you begin to understand the whole movement of thought and feeling. And out of this awareness comes silence.

Birdwatching is the easiest and quickest way to regulate your nervous system. You can do it in a busy city or in the middle of nowhere. Bird's chirping is an evolutionary signal to our body that there are no predators and we can rest.
Death is a constant reminder – ‘I can come any moment. Be prepared.’ And what is the preparation? The preparation is: live life so totally, so intensely, be so aflame with it that when death comes there is no complaint, there is no grudge. ― Osho
The phenomenal administrative capabilities of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel and his uncompromising commitment to nationhood secured the unification of an extraordinarily diverse, fragmented land into the political entity called Bharat. No one in the history of Humanity has merged 565 sovereign states into a single entity in a peaceful bloodless revolution. It is most important that the citizens of Bharat, especially our youth, understand that our Nation did not emerge magically or miraculously. Sardar toiled ceaselessly, walking the length and breadth of this land, wielding power most astutely, using every leverage at his command to fulfill his vision and birthed the largest Democracy in the world. We must remember Sardar Patel by embodying what he stood for: Unity - hard won and built moment by moment & day by day. -Sg #NationalUnityDay
The feminine is not merely about cooking, cleaning, or taking care of practical necessities. It is about bringing beauty, warmth, color, and grace into everything. Without the feminine, life may be perfectly functional, but it will become dry and mechanical. –Sg
Your brain is constantly predicting what is about to happen based on what has happened before. If you repeatedly quit, your mind starts expecting quitting as the next step. If you repeatedly continue, continuing becomes easier too.

Akhil Akkineni is the only one who truly stands out with his performance, but the weak writing keeps the film from becoming a hit. The characters are poorly developed, and the constant attempt to draw parallels with characters from the Mahabharata only adds to the confusion. Those comparisons feel forced and ultimately serve no meaningful purpose.
Bhagyashri looks superb on screen, Thaman’s background score is decent, Sivaji is wasted, Cinematography is impressive.
Don’t mess with Mahabharata characters if you don’t have a clear understanding of who they are.
