Vishnu Vinyasam

Vishnu Vinyasam (విష్ణు విన్యాసం) is a 2026 Telugu romantic comedy written and directed by Yadunaath Maruthi Rao, starring Sree Vishnu as an astrology-obsessed college lecturer and Nayan Sarika as the colleague who falls for him. It opened in theatres on 27 February 2026, runs 119 minutes, and streams on Prime Video.

What the story is about

Vishnu is a junior lecturer at Sri Pratibha Junior College, single, past 30, and devoted to astrology. His colleagues consider him hopeless and want him out. When Manisha joins the staff, she talks them out of firing him by promising she can turn him into a better teacher, and the unlikely pair are soon falling for each other. Then astrology, which rules so many of Vishnu’s choices, starts to get in the way of the romance, and the comedy comes from how the two try to work around the stars.

Release and reception

Vishnu Vinyasam was released on 27 February 2026 to mixed reviews. Sanjana Pulugurtha of The Times of India gave it 2.5/5 and felt it lacked consistency. Suresh Kavirayani of The New Indian Express gave the same rating, saying the film “works largely because of Sree Vishnu’s comic performance” but is let down by a weak storyline, a repetitive second half and an unconvincing climax. Janani K of India Today rated it 1.5 out of 5.

At the box office, The Economic Times is cited for a gross of over ₹18 crore, a moderate success that did better than Sree Vishnu’s other release, Mrithyunjay, which had been planned for the same day and was pushed back a week.
