Venkatesh Daggubati’s much-anticipated 75th film, Saindhav, faced a disappointing response from netizens despite being released during the festival period. The film, which garnered mixed reviews, struggled to capture the audience’s attention.
Initially slated for a Christmas 2023 release, the makers decided to postpone Saindhav to accommodate Prabhas’s Salaar. The shift to the Sankranti Festival proved to be detrimental, as the festival traditionally favors entertaining genres, making it challenging for a film with stylish action to succeed if emotional engagement is lacking. Unfortunately, Saindhav failed to stand out among the other festive releases.
Fans and well-wishers are now questioning the decision to move away from the initially planned Christmas release, especially considering the availability of a vacant slot on December 15th, 2023. A solo release during this time could have garnered attention from both the trade and the audience. Given the film’s focus on the father-daughter sentiment, a significant element of Saindhav’s plot, it could have resonated well with viewers, especially in the wake of the positive reception of Nani’s Hi Nanna, released on December 7th, 2023.
