Jagapathibabu’s special appearance is a surprise, has one song with Anushka. Brahmanandam played an insignificant role. In one song, K.Raghavendra rao mark artistic and glamourous portrayal of Pragya Jaiswal appeals to youth.Sampath Raj as emperor, Rao Ramesh as Govindarajulu are just OK. Pragya Jaiswal as Raam’s sister-in-law got a smaller role. Her costumes, pleasant face appeals to the audience.
His divine looks were already popular in mythological roles such as Srikrishna in TV Mahabharata, and now as Sri Venkateshwara Swami he is top class. Sourabh Raaj Jain as Lord Balaji is a superb choice. Nagarjuna is one such, hats off for his confident portrayal of a devotee. Only with performance one has to elevate the character in such circumstances, a good actor always performs with panache. Playing the role of Hathiram Bavaji is relatively more challenging as people knew little about Hathiram. In Annamaya, Ramadasu movies he performed well but in those films his character was elevated because of the depth & finesse of real characteristics of Annamayya & Ramadasu apart from his performance. But, in this film, Nagarjuna’s performance is truly lives up to such statements. While writing about performances, reviewers have a tendency of using “one of the career best performances” so casually, so often. Ĭasting is the main strength of “ Om NamO Venkatesaya “. Rest of the story is how and why Raama becomes Hathiram Bavaji ! At the end, Raama requests Lord to take his life away by performing Sajeeva Samadhi near his aashram. Knowing about the presence of ornaments at Raama’s aashram, emperor orders to take him to custody. Temple authorities and the emperor suspects Raama might have done the theft and raids his aashram. Around the same time, some miscreants steal the gold ornaments belonging to Tirumala temple. One day Lord loses all his Gold ornaments to Raama in dice. Impressed by his dedication, Lord first appears in his dream and later in real, plays dice with his devotee. At the same time he leads other devotees in their revolt against Govindarajulu who doesn’t follow Aagama Shastram.
Dejected Raama, begins constructing an ashram on Tirumala. Finding it suspicious, temple authoritarian Govindarajulu (Rao Ramesh), orders his men to push Raama out of the temple premises. Being so fascinated by the appearance of the Lord, Rama ( Nagarajuna) visits Tirumala temple often and spends time looking at the lord continuously. Set in 16th century, Om Namo Venkatesaya, is about Raama – an ardent devotee of Lord Sri Venkateswara. Let’s us see if the hit combination of Nag – KRR repeats the magic or not. After a huge round of promotions, Om Namo Venkateshaya is all set to hit the screens today.
The hit combination is set to weave magic again with yet another devotional outing Om Namo Venkatesaya. Star hero Akkineni Nagarjuna and legendary filmmaker K.Raghavendra Rao are known for delivering devotional hits like Annamayya, Sri Ramdasu and Shirdi Sai.
