Director Rahul Sankrityan Fires Back at Ranabaali Naysayers

Speaking at a success ceremony in Anantapur, Rahul Sankrityan confronted the wave of unwarranted criticism aimed at his film Ranabaali, urging reviewers and audiences to judge the work on its own merits.

At a glittering success event in Anantapur, director Rahul Sankrityan used the platform to address the growing chatter surrounding his latest venture, Ranabaali. Surrounded by the film’s cast, crew, and a handful of industry insiders, he made it clear that the celebration was not just about box‑office numbers but also about defending creative integrity.

Sankrityan didn’t mince words when he described the negative commentary as “baseless” and “devoid of common sense.” He pointed out that many of the detractors had not even watched the film in its entirety, yet were quick to pen scathing reviews that, in his view, undermined the hard work of everyone involved.

The director went on to allege that a subset of reviewers seemed intent on finding fault, regardless of the film’s artistic merits or audience response. He called for a more balanced discourse, reminding critics that a single perspective should not eclipse the collective voice of movie‑goers who have embraced Ranabaali with enthusiasm.

Despite the controversy, Sankrityan emphasized that the film’s momentum remains strong, with audiences across the state turning out in record numbers. He urged fellow actors, directors, and fans to stand together, celebrate the project’s achievements, and let the story speak for itself.
