Will Venky Atluri Revive Weekday Family Audiences?

Director Venky Atluri has shared some interesting thoughts about how movie culture is changing.He believes that filmmakers are now too focused on making big money during the first weekend, and they are not paying enough attention to families who usually watch movies on weekdays.

In an interview to promote his film *Vishwanath And Sons*, Venky said the movie industry has been too busy chasing the box office numbers from Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays.

Over time, they have forgotten about the importance of audiences coming in on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays.

He explained, "I want families to return to theaters again.

We have neglected the weekdays, focusing too much on the weekends.Families usually go to the movies during the week.For me, *Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo* (2020) was that kind of film.We had Super Good Films.I wanted to create a movie in the style of Vikraman sir and SP Muthuraman sir."

Venky's comments show his wish to bring back wholesome family movies that can attract people of all ages to the cinema, instead of just depending on weekend crowds.

The film *Vishwanath And Sons* stars Suriya and Mamitha Baiju in the lead roles.

It is a family drama that includes humor and romance.The movie is set for a theatrical release on August 14.

Chennai Love Story is going to be shown on July 24, 2026, and there is a lot of excitement around the movie, which is supported by SKN and Sai Rajesh.Megastar Chiranjeevi gave his blessings to the team by attending the pre-release event today in Hyderabad.

He also said that people should always dream big.

"Dream.Not just at night, dream during the day.Opportunities will come your way.After all, they came my way too.You have only one life to live.We don’t even know if there is another life after this.So dream big, work hard, and make the most of the life you have," he said, getting a big round of applause in the auditorium.

Chiranjeevi talked a lot about the young team, saying he feels very proud and happy whenever his fans work hard to achieve their goals.

Kiran Abbavaram is playing the main role, and Chiranjeevi joked that Kiran’s late brother was a big fan of his, while Kiran is a fan of Pawan Kalyan.

He also praised SKN, Sai Rajesh, and the director for their hard work, saying that Chennai Love Story looks good and that he is looking forward to watching it soon.

He also mentioned his friendship with Mani Sharma, who has created a great music album for the film.

One of the sweetest moments of the day was when the female lead, Gouri Priya, fell at Chiranjeevi’s feet and asked for his blessings.

Now that Chiranjeevi has supported Chennai Love Story, the film might do very well at the box office tomorrow.

It remains to be seen if the movie can live up to all the hype that has been created.

Chennai Love Story First Report: – Emotional Love Story!

However, the story starts to focus too much on a love triangle, which takes away from the movie's sweet and innocent feel.The slow pace also makes some parts less interesting to watch.

That said, the emotional ending works really well, thanks to the strong acting from the main characters.

Mani Sharma once again gives a beautiful score that really brings the ending to life.

Overall, Chennai Love Story is a romantic drama that has both touching moments and slower parts.

The second half isn't as strong as the first, but it still ends on a warm and satisfying note.

If you like feel-good love stories with great music and strong emotions, then this film is worth watching.
