What the story is about

Sarangapani, “Saranga”, is a car salesman and a firm believer in astrology who is in love with his boss Mythili, and both families have approved the match. Soon after the engagement, he meets a well-known palmist, Jiggeswarananda, at a friend’s party, who predicts that Saranga will commit a murder in his lifetime.

Release and reception

Sarangapani Jathakam was released on 25 April 2025 to positive reviews. Sangeetha Devi Dundoo of The Hindu called it “laughter therapy and an entertaining blend of social satire and screwball comedy”. Avad Mohammad of OTTplay (3/5) described a clean comedy with hilarious performances despite a routine storyline, and Deccan Chronicle praised its light-hearted, self-aware humour while noting a slightly weaker second half. We have not found a box-office figure from a reliable named outlet, so none is given here.
