Anil Ravipudi wrote and directed Sankranthiki Vasthunam. Venkatesh Daggubati starred. It was a Sankranthi hit. The first big Tollywood success of 2025. A family film. It made more money than any in the actor’s long career. In the first week, it earned Rs 300 crore.
The makers sold digital and satellite rights to ZEE Group. Rs 35 crore, they said. Fans waited. No word came. They thought it would stream soon. Other films had done so. But this one stayed in theaters.

FAQs
Q1: What’s the deal with Sankranthiki Vasthunam’s box office success?
A: Well, let’s just say Venkatesh Daggubati got a bonanza more than a contestant in a lucky draw! It collected a whopping Rs 300 crore within the first week of its release and has become the biggest grosser of Venkatesh’s career. This Sankranthi release was one of the best ways to kick start 2025 with a bang, as the movie was a perfect blend of family entertainment and kidnapping drama.
Q2: When can I watch this blockbuster from my couch?
A: So, let me remind you that the next event is scheduled for the first of March. The digital rights were acquired by ZEE5 for a sum of Rs 35 crore and this will be your pass to this entertainment bonanza. If you have been frequently visiting the ZEE5 app every hour (we know you are an ardent follower) then you are in for good news.
Q3: What’s the plot of Sankranthiki Vasthunam?
A: Imagine this: a successful software engineer is kidnapped soon after he arrives in India ( jet lag must have been boring). Here comes our protagonist – an ex-cop, who is now a loving family man, but his past comes back to haunt him in the form of his ex-lover, who is now a police officer. It is a mixture of family melodrama, action and romance with a dollop of the star’s persona. It is not surprising that audiences gobbled it up!
Q4: What’s so special about director Anil Ravipudi’s track record?
A: Eight hits in a row? Anil Ravipudi is not only directing movies, but he is running a factory of hits! Such a streak is rarer than a parking space in a shopping mall during the sales season. While most directors would be satisfied with one or two hits, Ravipudi’s success rate would make cricket players envious.
