About the Film (Plot)

Ranabaali is a period action drama set in 19th-century Rayalaseema under British rule, against the backdrop of the Madras Famine — reported to have raged between 1854 and 1878, with the story placed in the 1870s.

When famine devastates his village, the warrior Singanamala Bobbili Ranabaali rises against British oppression.
