Sankranthiki Vasthunnam is a smash hit at the box office and shows no signs of slowing down. Everyone thought that the Venkatesh film would lose momentum once the weekdays started, but that has not happened. The comedy caper has surprised the trade industry in a big way.
Even after two weeks of its run, Sankranthiki Vasthunnam continues to generate impressive numbers. On its 16th and 17th day, the film collected ₹2 crore and ₹1.8 crore, respectively. These are sig nificant figures and a record for any big hero film on these dates.
Since there are no major releases this week, Sankranthiki Vasthunnam is expected to continue its strong box office performance. The makers are stunned by the overwhelming response, and producer Dil Raju has decided to postpone the OTT release. Discussions regarding this decision are currently ongoing.
Zee5 has acquired the digital rights to the film for a whopping ₹30 crore, and reports suggest that Sankranthiki Vasthunnam was initially scheduled to stream on Valentine's weekend, February 14, 2025. However, given the film’s strong theatrical run, Dil Raju is in extensive talks with Zee5 to delay the digital release.
Anil Ravipudi directed the film, which stars Aishwarya Rajesh and Meenakshi Chaudhary as the female leads. Sankranthiki Vasthunnam has also set a new record, selling a massive 3.3 million tickets on BookMyShow—an all-time high for a Telugu film. This achievement highlights the film's massive appeal among family audiences.
Weekend bookings are steadily increasing, and Sankranthiki Vasthunnam is performing exceptionally well in the interiors of Andhra Pradesh, where such family entertainers are widely embraced. The film has already grossed ₹300 crore, and it remains to be seen how much higher this number will climb in the coming days.
