Sankranthi is widely believed to be a golden period for films at the box office which often guarantees a minimum level of cash flow even for bad films.
Historically, many movies released during this festive season have turned out to be major blockbusters.

However, this doesn’t mean there haven’t been flops; there have been numerous disasters in the past, such as Mrugaraju, Devi Putrudu, and NTR: Kathanayakudu. This year, Saindhav also joined the list of big disappointments.
Venkatesh has traditionally fared well during the Sankranti season, with hits like Kalisundam Raa, Lakshmi, and F2.

Therefore, the failure of Saindhav came as a shock to many. It wasn’t just a disaster but a total washout.
Films that don’t connect with the Sankranthi festive spirit or the audience expectations for this season often struggle at the box office.

Examples include 1: Nenokkadine and NTR: Kathanayakudu, which failed to resonate with viewers because of their serious themes. People love to watch romance, comedy, and mass masala entertainers during this time.
Saindhav also fell into this category, lacking the quintessential Venkatesh mark entertainment that fans expect.
However, this time, Venkatesh is returning with a film aptly titled Sankranthiki Vasthunnam directed by Anil Ravipudi who has a track record of no flops to his name.
Insider reports suggest that Sankranthiki Vasthunnam has shades of Venkatesh’s classic comedy blockbuster Intlo Illalu Vantintlo Priyuralu. The entertainment in the film is sure to tickle the audience.
Fans are eager to see if Venkatesh can shake off the disaster sentiment from Saindhav and make a solid comeback this Sankranthi.
