Ranabaali Lands on Netflix Tomorrow: Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna’s Fiery Period Drama Gets Its Date — Finally Confirmed

It was the date that vanished before it could be believed — and now it is official. Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna’s period action drama Ranabaali will premiere on Netflix on Friday 13 November 2026, in Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada and Malayalam. Here is the backstory, because this one had a proper twist. Netflix India briefly posted the 13 November date on 2 November and then deleted it, leaving fans screenshotting furiously and wondering whether the date was real at all. The suspense ended on 9 November, when Netflix India formally announced the date alongside a new poster — and Pinkvilla’s weekly OTT guide on 11 November lists it plainly: Netflix, 13 November. So yes, this time it is locked in. Directed by Rahul Sankrityan and produced by Mythri Movie Makers with T-Series, Ranabaali is set in 19th-century Rayalaseema during the devastating Madras famine of 1876–78. Deverakonda plays the prophesied warrior Ranabaali, who rises against British rule as colonial officers keep imposing taxes and exporting food while his people starve. Rashmika plays Jayamma, his wife — the emotional anchor of the resistance — who slowly uncovers the truth behind her husband’s mysterious birth and destiny. Arnold Vosloo joins as the British officer Sir Theodore Hector, with music by Ajay-Atul. It is also a reunion worth noting: this is the third time Vijay and Rashmika have shared the screen, after the much-loved Geetha Govindam (2018) and Dear Comrade (2019) — though this is the first time they play a couple. The film opened in cinemas on 16 October, so its streaming debut comes exactly four weeks later. If the big-screen run left you curious, Friday is your second chance to judge this rebellion for yourself.
