Sankranthiki Vastunnam has emerged as the first blockbuster of 2025, cementing its place as one of the biggest festival hits. Directed by Anil Ravipudi and starring the versatile Venkatesh in the lead role, the film has been met with overwhelming success, grossing over ₹300 crore worldwide. Alongside Venkatesh, the film features Aishwarya Rajesh and Meenakshi Chowdhury in pivotal roles, capturing the hearts of audiences both for their performances and the film’s engaging narrative.
The film’s theatrical run was marked by high praise and audience love, and as expected, anticipation was high for its digital release. It premiered yesterday on both OTT platforms and television, attracting a lot of attention from fans eager to experience the film in the comfort of their homes. However, this release has been met with an unexpected surprise.
While the theatrical version of Sankranthiki Vastunnam ran for 2 hours and 24 minutes, the digital version has been reduced to just 2 hours and 16 minutes, cutting nearly eight minutes of footage. This change has left fans disappointed, especially given the rumors that the OTT release would include additional comedy scenes that had been previously trimmed for pacing in the theatrical version. Instead, the digital edit cuts down some of the content, leaving audiences wondering about the omitted material.
In contrast, the TV version of the film proved to be a crowd-pleaser, with one notable moment being the repeated airing of the Godari Gattu Paina song, which added a sense of nostalgia and excitement for viewers.
Bankrolled by Dil Raju under the banner of Sri Venkateswara Creations, Sankranthiki Vastunnam continues to dominate both box office and digital platforms, though its OTT release has left some fans longing for what could have been—a more complete version of the beloved hit.
