This movie was a remake of a Tamil super hit film directed by P.Vasu. There is only one word to express the success of this film – Phenomenal. It is no wonder if one says people have thronged to theatres on bullock carts from rural areas only to see this film. The mother-child sentiment moved the audiences deeply, also by the great support of Ilayarajas lilting music. Venkatesh was lucky in terms of getting good scripts/good characters at the right time in his career. Though he was labeled as Remake hero, it didn’t stop him from winning many hearts. Venkatesh’s popularity had seen a big crest at this juncture. Chanti had re-written the box-office stamina of Telugu cinema in terms of all aspects that time. Producers even had plans to release a book on the records this film had created. This was the first film to cross 100 days in more than 40 direct centers that was an industry record that time. Meena & Raviraaja were other people who benefited from this film. With the stupendous success of this film, venkatesh realized that he should do more remakes to keep his success profile high. He succeeded in that aspect with many remakes and maintained the tag of victory venkatesh.
