Has Vijay Deverakonda’s “craze” started to wane? The recently released ‘Ranabaali’ glimpse has sparked considerable debate, with its view count leading to mounting concerns about his once-unbeatable star power. Following a string of underwhelming performances at the box office, many industry observers are now questioning if a much-needed hit is his only salvation, making this film a crucial turning point for his career.
Deverakonda’s Craze: Taking a Hit?
Is Vijay Deverakonda‘s craze taking a hit? Criticism is mounting over the views garnered by the ‘Ranabaali’ glimpse, leading to doubts about his star power. With his previous films failing to deliver the desired results, a hit is seen as his only salvation, and his career now hinges on the outcome of this movie.
Vijay Deverakonda hasn’t had a proper hit since ‘Arjun Reddy’ and ‘Geetha Govindam’. Films like ‘Kingdom’, made with high hopes, delivered unexpected results, shocking Deverakonda and putting any sequel plans on hold. Currently, all his hopes rest on his ‘R’ letter movies, ‘Ranabaali’ and ‘Rowdy Janardhana’. Both these films absolutely need to be hits for Vijay’s career to have smooth sailing. While the teasers released for these films initially pleased audiences, giving the impression that Deverakonda would finally get a hit, doubts are now arising about his star power itself.
The real story behind the ‘Ranabaali’ title glimpse views is fueling these concerns. It has been almost a week since the title glimpse of ‘Ranabaali’, a pan-India film from the combination of Vijay Deverakonda and Rahul Sankrityan, was released. Although the glimpse was well-received by everyone upon viewing, the fact that it has only garnered just over 15 million views across all languages has started raising serious questions about Vijay Deverakonda’s popularity. In stark contrast, Allu Arjun and Lokesh Kanagaraj’s film announcement video recently achieved record-breaking views. That was merely an announcement, whereas this is a title glimpse for a pan-India project. Accumulating just 15 million views across five languages truly indicates, as some netizens are reacting, that ‘something is amiss’. This performance underscores how desperately Vijay Deverakonda needs a hit.
‘Ranabaali’: VD’s Make-or-Break Moment
During the time of ‘Liger’, any Bollywood personality you asked would readily mention Vijay Deverakonda’s name. Yet, even with Rashmika Mandanna, who has a ‘National Crush’ image, acting in ‘Ranabaali’, the low view count makes the gravity of the situation clear. Vijay Deverakonda will only maintain his current level of craze if he gets back into form. Otherwise, he risks having to start from scratch again, especially as many new talents enter the industry daily and deliver hits. Vijay Deverakonda himself knows that only a hit speaks in this industry. Despite the concerns, Vijay remains confident he will deliver a hit this time.
Regarding ‘Ranabaali’, Rahul Sankrityan is directing this film based on real historical events that took place between 1854 and 1878 during the British rule, set against a 19th-century backdrop. Rashmika Mandanna will be seen as Jayamma in this movie. Ultimately, for Vijay Deverakonda to prove his mettle and get back into form, ‘Ranabaali’ absolutely needs to be a hit. It remains to be seen whether he can reclaim his position with this crucial film.
Looking Ahead
“Ranabaali” is undeniably Vijay Deverakonda’s moment of truth. With concerns growing over his trajectory, this historical epic demands a stellar performance. Will the ‘Rowdy’ star reclaim his throne and silence the doubters, or will his fading glimmer dim further? The industry keenly watches if he can rise to this formidable challenge.
