Hyderabad, [Date] – The trailer for the upcoming Telugu film “Sankrantiki Vastaam,” starring Venkatesh and featuring Aishwarya Rajesh and Meenakshi Chaudhary, was released online by Mahesh Babu. Directed by Anil Ravipudi and produced by Dil Raju, the film aims for a family-friendly Sankranti release.
The trailer showcases a typical Ravipudi narrative: a kidnapping, government involvement, a rescue operation, and a blend of romance and comedy involving the hero, his wife, and an ex-girlfriend. While visually appealing and colorful, critics have noted a potential weakness in the comedic writing, suggesting it falls short of Ravipudi’s previous comedic successes. The trailer’s linear storytelling, revealing much of the plot, is also a point of concern.
While targeting family audiences for the lucrative Sankranti season, some question whether Venkatesh’s portrayal, seemingly lacking his usual energy, is due to age or the script itself. Despite these reservations, early reactions suggest the film might still find success during the festive period, capitalizing on the high demand for family-oriented movies during Sankranti. However, whether it will live up to the expectations set by earlier Sankranti releases remains to be seen.
