Released on 14 January 2025 to coincide with the Sankranti festival, Sankranthiki Vasthunam became one of the biggest Telugu film hits of the year. Directed by Anil Ravipudi, the story centers on YD Raju (Venkatesh), a former police officer living peacefully with his wife Bhagyalakshmi (Aishwarya Rajesh) until unexpected trouble strikes. When ACP Meenakshi (Meenakshi Chaudhary), Raju’s ex-girlfriend, seeks his help to tackle a high-profile kidnapping case, his personal life and professional instincts collide, creating a blend of action-packed sequences and light-hearted comedy. The film’s engaging mix of thrills and relatable family moments drew audiences nationwide, making it a major box office success. After its theatrical run, it became widely available on digital platforms.
