**Hyderabad, January 14, 2024** – Venkatesh’s latest film, “Sankranthi Ki Vasthunnam,” directed by Anil Ravipudi and produced by Dil Raju, hit theaters today to a mixed reception. The film, a comedy-action entertainer, features Venkatesh as a suspended encounter specialist, Meenakshi Chaudhary and Aishwarya Rajesh as the female leads, and a supporting cast including VTV Ganesh, Upendra Limaye, and Naresh.
The plot revolves around a former police officer, YD Raju (Venkatesh), coaxed out of retirement to protect a kidnapped CEO (Avasarala Srinivas) from a group of criminals. His mission involves navigating his current life with his wife (Aishwarya Rajesh) and children, and his past relationship with Meenakshi (Meenakshi Chaudhary), the CEO’s security officer.
While the first half of the film is lauded for its fast-paced entertainment and catchy songs, the second half is criticized for dragging and including unnecessary elements towards the end.
