Sankrathiki Vasthunam

Entertaining indeed, but is that enough? An ex-govt. Official seemed too irresponsible. Venkatesh is a good actor, however, it made me a bit gloomy after watching his performance in this movie. I found that having 4 kids in six years is problematic when we're battling an overpopulation problem. Stars like Venkatesh should not promote this kind of insanity. Despite their good acting, the female leads seemed brainless and useless in this film. Projecting women in such a disrespectful way in 2025 is disappointing. The songs are not up to the mark and did not enjoy the dance. The only thing I found in this movie is Venkatesh's comic acting.

Good 1st half,okish 2nd half

Decent laughs

Bulli Raju character & music is highlighted.

BGM is a ok ok

Anil ravipudi can have a writing scope but he written in a illogical way with flat writting.

Meenakshi choudhary , venkatesh & ashwariya Rajesh this combination is good 👍.

PLOT :: Former DCP Yadagari Damodara Raju, known as Y. D. Raju, is approached by his ex-girlfriend, ACP Meenakshi IPS, to locate Satya Akella, the CEO of a multinational company who has been kidnapped from the farmhouse of the ruling party's president. Accepting the mission on the request of Chief Minister Kesava, Raju sets out with Meenakshi to rescue Satya. However, complications arise when his wife, Bhagyalakshmi "Bhagyam," insists on accompanying them, suspecting that Raju may rekindle his past relationship with Meenakshi. This leads to a series of comedic and action-packed events as they navigate the mission.

It's like that perfect meal for festival after having two tasteless snacks (you know what are those 😑)

Venkatesh as usual in his elements, surrendering to Anil's style and playing it to the galleries, Aishwarya Rajesh's a surprise package, equally complementing Venky's timing, Meenakshi okayish, expected bit more from Upendra Limaye, Revanth as Bulli Raju is a cracker 💥r,est all fine.

Technically, Bheems' music is the biggest asset, every song worked out really well, nothing to complain from DOP Sameer Reddy, credit to editor Tammiraju for keeping the run time short, okayish production values from Shirish.

Coming to Anil Ravipudi, he knows his strengths, knows his audience pulse and strikes the chords, though writing could have been better, since most gags worked out because of actor's timing, direction is neat and simple.

BOTTOMLINE: This is festival time, so watch it and ENJOY PANDAGOWW!!

Alright, here's the tea-this story's got major goofy vibes.

The screenplay's out here trying to make you laugh with some slapstick humor, feels like they're forcing the jokes, and most of'em ain't hitting.

Venktesh, though? The man's a pro-he gave it his all like he always does. Aishwarya Rajesh did her thing, solid effort, but Meenakshi? Bruh, total misfit for the role.

The production quality is alright, except for the climax set, and yeah, one song actually bangs, but that's about it.

Anil Ravipudi's direction feels so outdated, like he's still living in the pre-smartphone era.

All in all, it's not worth your time or your popcorn money.
