Ranabaali’s Audio Mix Sparks Debate, Makers Urge Theatres to Boost Volume

Since its October 16 release, Ranabaali has drawn praise for its visual flair but faced criticism over its muted background score. Responding to audience feedback, the producers have requested cinemas to turn up the sound for a richer viewing experience.

The latest Vijay Deverakonda‑Rashmika Mandanna starrer, Ranabaali, opened its doors on October 16, instantly catching eyes with its striking cinematography and detailed production design. While the film’s aesthetic elements have been lauded by critics and fans alike, a growing chorus of viewers has pointed out a different flaw: the background score feels too subdued, diluting the impact of key moments.

Social media platforms and post‑show discussions have highlighted that the music and sound effects often get lost in the theater environment, especially during high‑octane sequences where a stronger audio presence could elevate the drama. Some audience members reported having to strain to hear the score, which they felt compromised the overall immersion.

In response, the film’s production house has taken a proactive step. They have formally approached multiplex chains across the region, asking them to increase the audio levels for Ranabaali screenings. The request aims to ensure that the composer’s work—intended to complement the film’s fast‑paced narrative—reaches the audience as originally envisioned.

Industry insiders note that such adjustments are not unprecedented; films with intricate sound designs often receive similar tweaks after initial feedback. By calibrating the volume, theatres can deliver a more balanced auditory experience without altering the original mix.

The move has been welcomed by many fans who are eager to revisit the film with a fuller soundscape. As the dialogue around Ranabaali’s audio continues, both creators and exhibitors hope the simple volume boost will enhance the movie’s reception and let its visual splendor shine alongside a powerful musical backdrop.
