i happened to watch sankaranthi.and i found it to be very well picturised.director Muppulaneni Siva has done a great job not only in bring ing the huge star cast to work under a single umbrella ,but in also choosing a subject which is very much different from other mindless movies mostly based on fractionist clash etc.moreover director had kept the script more or less similar to the original version (anandam in tamil)was a good decision for it is better not to meddle with a good movie and spoil the concept as was the case ot shankardada mbbs which was poles apart from its original (munnabhai mbbs).
to sum it up itis a refeashing and must watch movie.
