Director Santosh Singh has done a commendable job with Ranneti. He skillfully combines an actioner, political drama, and spy thriller, doing justice to each aspect. The series is a visual treat, with high production values and stunning cinematography that adds to the overall viewing experience.

The series does have a few predictable and far-fetched moments, especially regarding one of its pivotal characters. But these minor flaws do not overshadow the overall brilliance of the series. With an IMDb rating of 8.2/10, Ranneti is a masterclass in pacing and tension-building, seamlessly weaving together multiple plotlines to create a riveting and cohesive narrative.
