Sankranthiki Vasthunam, the action-comedy starring Venkatesh Daggubati, has taken audiences by storm since its release on January 14, 2025. Blending thrilling action with sharp humour, the film has captured the imagination of viewers across India and beyond. With a strong and steady performance at the box office, the film has grossed over ₹176.35 crore in India and has surpassed ₹220 crore globally.
