Kovelamudi Raghavendra Rao's new Telugu movie "om namo venkatesaya" featuring Akkineni Nagarjuna, anushka shetty, Pragya Jaiswal, Jagapathi Babu, and Aditya Menon in the lead roles was released on February 10, 2017.
According to latest updates, the film is receiving positive reviews from the audiences, and it is slowly evolving as a classic hit at the Tollywood box office. A classic devotional tale, this movie has all those classic elements which will stay in the minds of the viewers for a long time.
"Om Namo Venkatesaya" is a devotional and biographical film, based on the life of Hathiram Bhavaji.
Nagarjuna's career best performance
The film solely belongs to Superstar Nagarjuna. The veteran star has portrayed the character of Hathiram Bhavaji, the North Indian saint who visited the Tirumala temple on 1500 CE.
With his subtle acting, Nagarjuna has immortalized this role, and one scene where Nagarjuna is asking the Lord to take his life away through Sanjeev Samadhi is a real gem of a film shot.
Celebrities review after premiere
Saurabh Raj Jain who portrayed the character of Lord Venkateshwara too did justice to his role. Jagapathi Babu and Aditya Menon were just okay in their respective roles.
Good luck to the whole team of #OmNamoVenkatesaya. A little bit of divinity in times like these is probably what we need the most :-) pic.twitter.com/GSzLQPBkks

Surprisingly, Anushka Shetty failed while portraying the character of Krishnamma on screen.
In some scenes, she went bit over-the-board, and it is one of the most noted negative elements in this movie.
