Dailymirror.News, February 21st, 2025: The much-anticipated web series Sammelanam has made its debut on ETV Win, bringing an emotional rollercoaster of love, friendship, and heartfelt moments. Starring Ganaditya in the lead role, the series also features Priya Vadlamani, known for her performances in Hushaaru and Brahma Anandam. The supporting cast includes Vignay Abhishek, Srikanth Gurram, Srikanth Yachamaneni, and Bindu Nuthakki. Directed by Tarun Mahadev and produced by Sunayana B. and Saketh J., let’s dive into how Sammelanam fares as an engaging OTT experience.
Overview..
Ram (Ganaditya) is a budding writer whose book skyrockets to popularity, drawing the attention of the media. Inspired by his success, Shreya (Bindu Nuthakki), Rahul (Srikanth Yachamaneni), Arjun (Vignay Abhishek), and Meghana (Priya Vadlamani) enter his life.
Arjun and Ram share a deep bond, with Arjun being Ram’s childhood friend and strongest supporter, even providing him financial assistance for his literary dreams. However, their friendship faces a dilemma when Arjun falls for Meghana—unaware that Ram also harbors feelings for her.
As emotions intertwine, Meghana finds herself at the center of a love triangle. Who does she choose? How do their relationships evolve without a conventional antagonist? And what impact does Charlie (Srikanth Gurram) have on Meghana’s decisions? These questions unravel as the story progresses.
Analysis..
Sammelanam delivers a well-balanced mix of love, friendship, and deep emotions. Director Tarun Mahadev, along with producers Sunayana and Saketh, presents a clean, family-friendly narrative, steering away from explicit content.
One of the most impactful moments in the series comes when a housemaid challenges societal norms, asking her employer, “Do we even have the right to speak, madam?” The employer’s reply, “The Constitution gave us the right to speak, but society took it away,” showcases the series’ thought-provoking dialogue and depth in storytelling.
Tarun Mahadev’s writing reflects poetic influences and a love for the Telugu language, reminiscent of Gautham Menon’s visual storytelling. The cinematography is captivating, enhancing the narrative with artistic framing and immersive visuals.
However, while the presentation is visually appealing, the storyline treads on familiar ground. The classic trope of best friends falling for the same woman, though emotionally engaging, lacks novelty. The flashback-driven narrative adds layers to the plot but doesn’t offer a groundbreaking twist.

Yashwant Nag’s music plays a significant role in enhancing the series, with every song seamlessly blending into the storyline. Saravana Vasudevan’s background score adds emotional depth, while the cinematography and lighting elevate the overall viewing experience.
Performance..
Ganaditya shines in the lead role, delivering an emotionally charged performance. Priya Vadlamani portrays her character with conviction, adding depth to Meghana’s dilemmas. Bindu Nuthakki, Srikanth Gurram, Vignay Abhishek, and Srikanth Yachamaneni contribute well to the narrative, ensuring a cohesive and engaging ensemble performance.

A standout feature of Sammelanam is its use of songs—an unusual yet refreshing addition for an OTT series. Combined with a well-paced screenplay, the series maintains audience engagement from start to finish.
Sammelanam is a heartfelt drama that effectively explores the complexities of relationships. While it may not break new ground in terms of storytelling, its poetic dialogues, engaging performances, and soulful music make it a worthwhile watch. For those who enjoy romantic dramas with a touch of nostalgia, this series is definitely worth checking out on ETV Win. Dailymirror.news Rating 3.5. https://www.etvwin.com/home
