Tue Jan 14 11:13:21 UTC 2025: ## Venkatesh’s ‘Sankrantiki Vస్తున్నాం’ Opens to Above-Average Talk
**Hyderabad, India** – Telugu superstar Venkatesh’s latest film, “Sankrantiki Vస్తున్నాం,” released on Tuesday to a mixed but generally positive response. The family and action drama, directed by Anil Ravipudi, features Venkatesh alongside Meenakshi Chaudhary and Aishwarya Rajesh.
Early reviews suggest the film successfully caters to family audiences, primarily through its comedic elements and portrayal of family emotions, rather than relying heavily on action sequences. Venkatesh’s comedic timing, particularly his scenes with his on-screen son, has been highlighted as a major strength, garnering praise from viewers. The film’s songs, especially “Godavari Gattu Meetida Rama Chilakave,” have also been well-received.
However, some critics point to an overreliance on comedy in certain parts, leading to a slightly sluggish pace, despite attempts to inject action scenes to counter this. While the first half is deemed entertaining, the second half is considered comparatively average by many online commentators.
Despite these mixed opinions, the overall response suggests the film is performing above expectations, with overseas audiences labeling it a perfect family movie for the Sankranti festival. This marks a comeback for Venkatesh after the box office disappointment of last year’s Sankranti release, “Sainthav.”
