Newlyweds Rashmika-Vijay Deverakonda Dull Faces Trolled?

The first look of Ranabaali, starring Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda, has sparked strong reactions online. The film marks the couple’s first project after their wedding, making it a highly discussed release.

The makers recently unveiled the first look of the newlyweds along with a special surprise video. The visuals offer an early glimpse into the world of Ranabaali and immediately caught fans’ attention.

While many fans expressed excitement, some viewers appeared confused by the expressions seen in the first look. The duo is seated beside each other like a posed couple portrait, but their faces appear serious rather than cheerful.

This detail soon became a topic of online trolling. Some users described the expressions as dull and uninspiring, questioning the mood of the image.

Supporters of the actors were quick to defend the look. They pointed out that the image is meant to establish the tone of the film rather than reflect romance or celebration.

Ranabaali is set in colonial India and draws inspiration from real events that occurred between 1854 and 1878 under British rule. During that era, couples often posed formally for photographs, which explains the restrained expressions.

Fans believe this makes the look historically accurate. Many feel the actors appear fully immersed in their characters, free from modern star mannerisms.

According to supporters, the film promises authenticity through its character design, costumes, and production values. Both the actors and the makers seem committed to delivering the director’s vision.

Anticipation has grown further as audiences wait to see how Rahul Sankrityan brings the story of Ranabaali and Jayamma to life on screen.
