This Sankranthi turned out to be an unexpected season for family entertainers. Instead of the usual barrage of mass masala action films, Telugu cinema saw a line-up dominated by domestic dramas and light-hearted comedies.

While it initially felt like a trend triggered by last year’s success of Sankranthiki Vasthunnam, the results have been surprisingly encouraging. Except for The Raja Saab, most films have found appreciation.
