Four highly awaited films were launched during Sankranthi. "Hanu Man" was the least advertised, yet it became the season's biggest smash. Despite its restricted release and low ticket costs, the picture is expected to earn a 100-crore share. "Guntur Kaaram" had a phenomenal beginning, but the film struggled to sustain itself and is only now making money because of Mahesh Babu's celebrity and the christmas season.

Nagarjuna's film "Naa Saami Ranga" has performed well at the box office. The film is not a huge success, but it may break even in the coming days, ending Nagarjuna's box office drought. The film is doing pretty well in telugu, but it is a non-starter in the United States. However, one film was rejected from the start: Venkatesh's "Saindhav." Despite having major stars like venkatesh, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Shraddha Srinath, and Arya, and being helmed by Sailesh Kolanu, who delivered great films in the past, the film couldn’t even garner a reasonable opening.

"Saindhav" was a complete failure from the start, since the audience refused to give it a chance, neither in telugu states nor in the US market. The breakeven point for the US market is especially high, and the picture never showed any promise. Poor music, dreary marketing, and a serious topic are claimed to be the primary reasons why the audience showed no interest in the picture. Following the publication, exceedingly negative word-of-mouth exacerbated the situation.

According to the trade, "Saindhav" is one of Venkatesh's worst films, ranking with "Subhash Chandra Bose" and "Shadow." However, venky gave the picture his all, but his efforts were in vain.
