But going by the quality of the teaser, it could be argued that Chiru perhaps made a mistake by moving out of the Sankranthi clash.
The shady VFX work in the teaser was outrightly rejected by the social media crowd and the same with the larger audience. There are serious doubts about the quality of the VFX of this product now.

Had Viswambhara actually arrived during the Sankranthi season, the festival audience advantage would have overruled the shortcomings in terms of VFX.
The usual norm in the Sankranthi season is that the audience tend to lap up films regardless of technical values. If the team enhanced the VFX output to whatever extent they could and if the director Vassishta could have found the right emotional chords like how he did for Bimbisara, things could have worked.

The Sankranthi audience would’ve made do with at least a half decent product and this could have worked for Viswambara. The revenues would have been satisfactory enough even with half-decent VFX but a strong narrative.
But now that the film has been pushed out to a later date, every single detail will be scrutinized now. There will be no Sankranthi advantage and the film will have to pull the audience only based on its merit. This is going to be a steep challenge.
