Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna fans have a date to mark. Their period drama Ranabaali will begin streaming on Netflix on November 13, just four weeks after its theatrical release. Netflix confirmed the premiere on Monday, November 9, sharing a poster of the lead pair and the streaming date on its official social media handles.
The film is the couple’s first on-screen collaboration since their wedding earlier this year, and that alone has made the OTT announcement one of the most talked-about entertainment stories of the week. For viewers who missed it in cinemas, the wait is now down to three days.
When and where to watch Ranabaali
Ranabaali will premiere on Netflix on November 13, 2026. The film will be available in five languages: Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada and Malayalam, so audiences across India can watch it in the language they prefer.
Announcing the release, Netflix wrote, “Singanamala Bobbili Ranabaali osthunnadu. Watch Ranabaali on Netflix, out 13 November in Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada and Malayalam.” The platform also pointed viewers to its South Indian collection, asking them to search for “Southverse” on Netflix to explore more regional films and shows.
The film arrived in theatres on October 16. Its move to streaming after a four-week theatrical window follows the usual pattern for big Telugu releases, and the timing is no accident. With the festive season drawing to a close, a Friday premiere gives Netflix a strong weekend title.
A 19th-century revolt, filmed on a grand scale
Directed by Rahul Sankrityan and produced by Mythri Movie Makers, Ranabaali is a period action drama set in pre-Independence India. Vijay Deverakonda plays Singanamala Bobbili Ranabaali, a warrior from Rayalaseema who rises against British rule during a devastating famine. Rashmika Mandanna plays Jayamma, Ranabaali’s wife, who stands by him through his fight.
The film is set in 19th-century Rayalaseema and follows a prophesied warrior who takes on an oppressive colonial administration. The cast also includes Arnold Vosloo, Easwari Rao and Luke McGibney. T-Series Films presents the film.
Why this OTT premiere matters
Ranabaali marks Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna’s first film together since they tied the knot in Udaipur on February 26. The two had shared the screen before their wedding, and their pairing has been one of Telugu cinema’s most followed, so the film carried expectations beyond its story.
For Netflix, the film adds another big-ticket Telugu title to a growing South Indian slate. The platform has been steadily building its regional catalogue, and a five-language release for a film of this size fits that strategy. Viewers in the Hindi belt, who may not have caught the Telugu theatrical run, get a dubbed version on day one.
The OTT release also matters for the film’s second life. Period dramas often find a wider audience at home than in theatres, where viewers can pause, rewatch and share scenes. If the word of mouth holds, Ranabaali could trend well beyond its opening weekend on the platform.
