**Hyderabad, January 15, 2025** – Venkatesh’s latest family entertainer, “Sankranthi Ki Vasthunnam,” directed by Anil Ravipudi, hit theaters today. The film, generating significant pre-release buzz thanks to its catchy songs and promotional campaign, promises a blend of comedy and action.

The plot revolves around Satya Akella (Avasarala Srinivas), a successful Telugu businessman in America, who is brought to Telangana by Chief Minister Keshav (Naresh VK) to establish businesses in the state. However, Satya is kidnapped by the Pandé gang, prompting a covert rescue operation led by retired encounter specialist Yadagiri Damodara Raju, alias Chinna Raju, alias Vendi Raju (Venkatesh). Raju’s ex-lover Meenakshi (Meenakshi Chaudhary) and his current wife Bhagya (Aishwarya Rajesh) are crucial to the operation.

The film successfully blends the action-packed rescue mission with the heartwarming dynamics of Raju’s family life. The comedy primarily comes from Venkatesh’s character, his interactions with his wife and ex-lover, and supporting characters which received positive feedback from reviewers. The film’s soundtrack, composed by Bheems Ceciroleo, is another highlight, with songs praised for their placement and visual presentation.

While the first half is described as engaging and entertaining, the second half reportedly loses some momentum with a few drawn-out scenes. Nevertheless, the film delivers a satisfying climax and manages to keep the audience entertained throughout. Venkatesh’s performance is particularly lauded, showcasing his comedic timing and emotional range. Aishwarya Rajesh and Meenakshi Chaudhary also deliver strong performances, complementing Venkatesh’s portrayal.

Overall, “Sankranthi Ki Vasthunnam” is being marketed as a complete family entertainer, offering a mix of action, comedy, and sentiment. Though the second half might feel somewhat predictable, the film’s strong performances, catchy music, and festive mood are expected to make it a box-office success.
