Anil Ravipudi is known for choosing interesting titles for his Sankranthi releases. His last two films had titles like Sankranthiki Vasthunnam and Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu.

Now, for his upcoming film with Venkatesh and Kalyan Ram, he has chosen January 12 Vidudala as the title.

The title has received mixed reactions. Many moviegoers are liking the title and feel it has a catchy feel. At the same time, some feel Anil Ravipudi may have gone overboard with the title.

The main question being raised is whether January 12 Vidudala really suits the story and theme of the film, or whether the title was chosen mainly to create buzz around the Sankranthi release.

However, it is still too early to judge the title. The real impact will be known only after the audience watches the film.

It is clear that he took inspiration from the legendary EVV Satyanarayana garu for these kinds of ideas. However, times have changed, and so have the content and audience. The title should connect with the audience and make sense in the context of the film’s content or story.

Now, it is up to Anil Ravipudi to prove that January 12 Vidudala is not just a title picked for attention, but one that truly connects with the film.
