Tue Jan 14 18:43:10 UTC 2025: ## Venkatesh and Anil Ravipudi’s “Sankranthi Ki Vasthunnam” Delivers Laughs, but Lacks Logic

**Hyderabad, January 14, 2025** – The much-anticipated Telugu film “Sankranthi Ki Vasthunnam,” starring Venkatesh and directed by Anil Ravipudi, released today for Sankranti. The film, touted as a comedy thriller, sees the successful duo aiming for a hat-trick hit after the success of “F2” and “F3.” While the film delivers on laughs, its weak plot and lack of logical consistency may leave viewers divided.

The movie revolves around Yadagiri Damodar Raju (Venkatesh), a suspended DCP, who is tasked with rescuing Satya Akella (Avasarala Srinivas), a software tycoon kidnapped by the Biju Pandey gang. The rescue mission involves Raju’s ex-girlfriend, Meenakshi (Meenakshi Chaudhary), and his current wife, played by Aishwarya Rajesh. The plot unfolds with a series of comedic events centered around the rescue operation, the intricacies of the kidnapping, and the comical interactions between the characters.

Director Anil Ravipudi’s trademark slapstick humor is prominent throughout the film. While several scenes elicit hearty laughter, the film suffers from a significantly weak storyline and numerous illogical plot points. The kidnapping of a high-profile individual by a seemingly amateur gang is one example of the film’s implausibility. However, Venkatesh’s comedic timing and the supporting cast’s performances, particularly Upendra Limaye, Naresh, and VTV Ganesh, add to the entertainment value.

The film’s critics highlight the lack of a substantial plot, describing it as a string of comedic sequences rather than a cohesive narrative. Despite the logical inconsistencies, the film’s comedic appeal will likely resonate with audiences seeking light-hearted entertainment during the Sankranti festival. Whether this will be enough to deliver the expected box office success for the hit duo remains to be seen. While the film may not set any new standards in Telugu cinema, it provides a decent comedic experience for those looking for a fun movie to watch this festive season.
