With a strong Telugu director (Vamshi Paidipally) and lead actress (Rashmika Mandanna), the film was heavily promoted in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. Sankranthi Release Telugu Movies 2023

However, Thalapathy Vijay’s star power and the film’s strong family sentiment (perfect for the festival) helped it put up a respectable fight. It collected decent numbers in the Telugu states, particularly in the Nizam region, but could not match the collections of Waltair Veerayya. The Verdict: Family Emotional Drama Overview: While not
