Filmibeat
"The initial reactions emerging from overseas screenings form only a limited part of the conversation around the film. Audience opinions can differ, and the responses shared online may not represent the views of everyone who attended the premieres"
Also: "The overseas premiere reactions provide an early glimpse of the discussion surrounding Ranabaali, but a limited number of social media posts cannot establish the film's overall reception"

Mirchi9: 2/5
"Ranabaali is a sincere attempt to tell heart-wrenching stories, but despite all the effort, it ends up being a tedious, boring watch"
Also: "Ajay-Atul’s music is one of the film’s biggest letdowns. The background score adds to the tedium, and across a nearly three-hour runtime, there isn’t a single standout block where the music really stays with you"
