**Hyderabad, India (January 14, 2025)** – Venkatesh’s latest film, “Sankranthi Ki Vasthunnam,” directed by Anil Ravipudi, premiered today to largely positive early reviews. The family entertainer, featuring Venkatesh alongside Aishwarya Rajesh and Meenakshi Chaudhary, had already generated significant buzz through its posters, teaser, trailer, and chart-topping songs, particularly the popular “Godavari Gattu” and the “Pongal” song sung by Venkatesh himself.

Early reactions on Twitter praise the film’s comedic elements, highlighting Venkatesh’s comedic timing as a key strength. The film’s promotional campaign, which included humorous interactions from the cast and crew, also contributed to pre-release excitement. Venkatesh himself described the film as a fun movie for families to enjoy together.

Initial reviews from audiences describe “Sankranthi Ki Vasthunnam” as a “clean and healthy family entertainer” with consistently hilarious moments, though some suggest it might feel slightly cringeworthy at times for younger viewers. The performances of Venkatesh, Aishwarya Rajesh, and Meenakshi Chaudhary have also garnered positive feedback. Many are predicting a successful box office run, especially given the positive word-of-mouth already circulating following early screenings in the US. Several commentators have even suggested the possibility of a sequel.

While some critics note a slight dip in the second half, the overall consensus is overwhelmingly positive, indicating a likely hit for the Sankranti festival. The film’s music, by Bheems Ceciroleo, is also cited as a contributing factor to its success. The film is a Dil Raju presentation and a Shirish production.
