Ranabaali Movie Story:
Set against the backdrop of Rayalaseema, Ranabaali is a periodical action drama based on real incidents that took place during British rule between 1854 and 1878.
The story takes place in the Singanamala region of Rayalaseema. Around 200 years ago, Bhadra Mallanna, who protected the village, attained Jeeva Samadhi on a hill overlooking the village. Singanamala Bobbili Ranabaali is the successor who carries forward the legacy of that lineage.
During British rule, the people of the region suffered under the selfish policies of the British rulers. With barely enough food to survive and struggling for even a mouthful of water, the locals were forced to work as slaves for the white rulers.
The film explores the atrocities committed against Indians during British rule, the cruel policies that turned a land known for its abundance into a famine-stricken region, and the hidden chapters of history that have rarely been told.
What did Ranabaali do to protect his people from the British rulers? How did he defeat them through his heroic fight? How did he respond to their oppression through armed resistance? What role does Jayamma play in the story? To find out, audiences will have to watch the film.
