Venkatesh Daggubati and director Anil Ravipudi team up for a much-anticipated action-comedy, "Sankranthiki Vasthunam," which follows the journey of a retired police officer, played by Venkatesh, as he teams up with his ex-girlfriend, a tough cop played by Meenakshi Chaudhary, to rescue a kidnapped CEO. With stellar performances from the leads and a story that blends action and comedy seamlessly, the film is a sure winner for audiences of all ages.
Director Anil Ravipudi's latest film, ‘Sankranthiki Vasthunnam’, delivers plenty of laughs with its goofy story and eccentric characters, led by Venkatesh. The film never takes itself too seriously, but does stumble when it becomes preachy. Although the humor can feel forced at times, Venkatesh's comedic timing and portrayal of a man caught between his wife and ex-girlfriend are the highlights. However, some of the jokes, including misogynistic ones, may not sit well with all viewers. Overall, ‘Sankranthiki Vasthunnam’ is a lighthearted and fun watch for fans of mindless entertainment.
Director Anil Ravipudi, known for his blend of humor and heartfelt moments, teams up with Venkatesh yet again in Sankranthiki Vasthunnam. The film follows the retired encounter specialist Y.D. Raju, played by Venkatesh, as he is pulled back into action by an old flame. While the first half is a testament to Ravipudi's entertaining writing and relatable family dynamics, the second half falters with formulaic storytelling and disjointed character arcs. Despite these flaws, the film still manages to deliver heartwarming moments and hilarious one-liners, making it a must-watch for the whole family.
