Sankranthi festival is considered to be one of the biggest seasons for Tollywood. Every hero will think to release his movie for this season once in his career. Sankranthi season has a long history.
Many heroes competed for this festival at the box office and few heroes have released their movies multiple times in this season. For example, Nandamuri Balakrishna loves to release his movies for this season. He is even considered as Sankranthi hero by his fans.
2019 Sankranthi is a huge disappointment, however F2 has managed to close this season on a bright note. Coming to 2020, this year festival is going to be more promising. Already Rajinikanth’s Darbar released and got some decent reviews.
Sarileru Neekevvaru and Ala Vaikunthapuramulo are releasing on January 11th and 12th respectively. Nandamuri Kalyan Ram’s Entha Manchivadavura is coming on January 15th. All the remaining three films are looking promising.
