The Telugu film Ranabaali, starring Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna, is currently experiencing a significant slowdown at the box office as it enters its third week of theatrical release. Following a strong opening, the film’s momentum has witnessed a sharp decline, with recent daily earnings falling substantially below initial figures. According to industry tracking data, the film has accumulated a worldwide gross collection of Rs 79.13 crore after 15 days in theatres.
On its 15th day, the film recorded a domestic net collection of Rs 20 lakh across 512 shows. This figure represents a 78.9% drop compared to the previous day’s intake of Rs 95 lakh. The film’s cumulative domestic net collection currently stands at Rs 57.50 crore, while the India gross has reached Rs 66.78 crore. International markets have contributed an additional Rs 12.35 crore to the worldwide total. The production has now sold an estimated 46,98,077 tickets since its premiere, marking a cooling period in audience turnout following a peak of Rs 9.25 crore on its opening day.
A comparative analysis of the film’s progress reveals that it is currently trailing Vijay Deverakonda’s 2025 release, Kingdom. By the 15th day of its run, Kingdom had achieved a worldwide gross of Rs 81.42 crore. Despite Ranabaali’s lower daily collection on day 15, the current total worldwide gross of Rs 79.13 crore places it approximately Rs 2.29 crore behind the benchmark set by the actor’s previous film at the same stage in its theatrical cycle.
The week-wise performance breakdown highlights the rapid shift in the film's commercial trajectory. The first week saw a robust start with Rs 45.20 crore in net domestic earnings. However, the second week witnessed a 73.2% decline, contributing only Rs 12.10 crore. This downward trend has continued into the third week, with Friday's limited earnings of Rs 20 lakh underscoring the challenges the film faces in maintaining theatrical interest as new releases and competing titles draw potential viewers away.
Occupancy rates on the 15th day further reflect this struggle for engagement. The film registered an overall occupancy of 9.90% across all formats. Detailed analysis of the screening schedule shows that morning and evening shows recorded an occupancy of 7.91%, while afternoon screenings saw 9.91% attendance. A slight improvement was noted during night shows, which peaked at 12.18% occupancy. For context, Kingdom had recorded a higher 18% occupancy on its own 15th day, despite having a larger footprint of 818 shows at that time.
As Ranabaali navigates the remainder of its third week, industry observers suggest that the film will require a significant uptick in audience turnout to improve its overall box office standing. The current figures, while providing a clear picture of the film's commercial journey, remain subject to minor fluctuations as official studio data is finalized and international reports are fully consolidated. For now, the focus remains on whether the production can sustain its presence in cinema halls amid the evolving competitive landscape.
