Hero Former DCP Yadagari Damodara Raju, known as Y. D. Raju, is approached by his ex-girlfriend, ACP Meenakshi IPS, to locate Satya Akella, the CEO of a multinational company who has been kidnapped from the farmhouse of the ruling party's president. Accepting the mission on the request of Chief Minister Kesava, Raju sets out with Meenakshi to rescue Satya. However, complications arise when his wife, Bhagyalakshmi "Bhagyam," insists on accompanying them, suspecting that Raju may rekindle his past relationship with Meenakshi. This leads to a series of comedic and action-packed events as they navigate the mission.
Rating Avad Mohammad of OTTplay gave 3.5/5 stars and wrote "Sankranthiki Vasthunnam is a perfect festival watch packed with loads of entertainment. Venkatesh leads from the front, delivering a hilarious performance. While the predictable storyline may not appeal to everyone, the family audience is sure to enjoy the film."[18] T. Maruthi Acharya of India Today gave 3/5 stars and wrote "With its mix of engaging comedy and uneven storytelling, Sankranthiki Vasthunnam is a decent outing for families seeking light-hearted entertainment. B.H. Harish of Cinema Express gave 3/5 stars and wrote "But then again, it depends on you if you want to judge this film from that lens. For everyone else who merely wants to have a few hearty laughs, Sankranthiki Vasthunam offers them in plenty. Sashidhar Adivi of Times Now gave 2.5/5 stars and wrote "Sankranthiki Vasthunnam will often make you laugh, especially if you are a fan of out-and-out slapstick comedies. A focused script, tighter editing and impressive cinematography would have elevated the film a few notches. The muddled-up storyline and how the events pan out leave much to be desired.
