The second simply sticks to the point it and delivers accordingly.Īnushka looks perfect for the role. Overall the film has a thin story but it manages to engage due to a strong heartfelt performance by Akkineni Nagarjuna.

This lack of effect from the distractions also makes this a better film than Shirdi Sai, the last film in the actor and director’s combination. And since Nagarjuna gives his heart out we are glued to the proceedings withstanding the distractions. The crux of the film is between devotee played by Akkineni Nagarjuna and god played by Saurabh Jain. They are what they are, side characters and they come and go without making any impact. In Annamayya, we are never distracted that way in terms of any emotions that are portrayed as part of the narrative.Ĭoming back to Om Namo Venkateshaya, the good thing here is the film doesn’t have much scope for those side characters. This outdated making value along with caricature-like characters takes away from the central emotions. K Raghavendra Rao is a legend, no doubt about it but he is outdated now and no matter how many devotional films he does in his late career, it won’t change. Definitely, Om Namo Venkateshaya is one of his career best performances. He knows where to push the buttons and does exactly that when required. Nagarjuna in a devotional film feels like a fish in the water. It could also be the fact that he has played similar characters in the past, but there is a visible ease in his body language throughout. He gets better and better as the film progresses and is in peak form towards the end.

Nagarjuna is the heart of the film and there is nothing beyond him in the movie in terms of performance. His journey to Tirumala and meeting the god and eventually becoming a great devotee of Lord Venkateshwara Swamy is what the film is all about.

It is the story of Rama ( Nagarjuna) and how he becomes Hathiram Baba.
