Saindhav is an action drama film directed by Sailesh Kolanu and starring ‘Victory’ Venkatesh, one of the most popular actors in Telugu cinema.The film also features Shraddha Srinath as the main heroine, and a supporting cast of Arya, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Andrea Jeremiah, Mukesh Rishi, Baby Sara, Ruhani Sharma, and others.
The film is produced by Venkat Boyanapalli under his Niharika Entertainment banner, and has music composed by Santhosh Narayanan.
The film was released in theatres on January 14, 2024, coinciding with the Sankranti festival.
However, the film received mixed reviews from critics and audiences, and failed to perform well at the box office.The film was criticized for its weak script, slow pace, and lack of novelty.
Some praised the performances of Venkatesh and Siddiqui, and the action sequences, but they were not enough to save the film from being a disappointment.
Despite the poor theatrical run, the film has got a second chance to reach a wider audience through television.ETV, a leading Telugu channel, has bought the satellite rights of the film for a hefty price.The channel has announced that the film will have its world television premiere on March 17, 2024, at 6 PM.It is expected that the film will attract more viewers on the small screen, as many people might have missed the film in theatres due to the pandemic situation.The channel is also planning to promote the film extensively through various shows and interviews with the cast and crew.
The film’s makers are hopeful that the film will get a positive response from the TV audience, and redeem its reputation.
