In Om Namo Venkatesaya, we have Saurabh Raj essaying Vishnu and it's safe to say that we finally have a replacement to fill in NTR's shoes. Just like each time when someone says "Krishna", we're inevitably reminded of late superstar NT Rama Rao, who will forever be remembered for playing the eponymous character. His portrayal of Rama does justification to the iconic character. Nagarjuna, who has given some memorable performances in films like Ramadasu and Annamayya, returns to his forte.
For instance, those who pay a considerable amount to the temple authorities, get their darshan done in a matter of a few minutes, while others wait for hours. The rest of Om Namo Venkatesaya narrates several incidents that made Rama transform into Hathiram Bhavaji, who, we believe, has his own Mutt in Tirumala.ĭespite a generic story, the film hits the bull's eye when it talks about Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam's (TTD) hypocrisy that it has continued with for years now. Rama gets the privilege of becoming the administrator of Tirumala, who is also responsible for the induction of the famous Tirumala prasad and Nitya Kalyanam. And that's when Venkatesa (Saurabh Raj Jain) descends on the earth, only to play dice with Rama, his favourite bhakt.
Though the duo educates people in their village with short stories of Venkatesa, Rama's quest to meet the lord remains unanswered. In Tirumala, Rama gets acquainted with a fellow devotee, Krishnamma (Anushka Shetty). When Rama gets to know from his preceptor that it was Vishnu himself, he sets on a pilgrimage to Tirumala, to worship Venkatesa. Struck by Rama's spirituality, Lord Vishnu disguises himself as a boy and interrupts his rites. Cut to present, we see a teenage Rama performing rituals in a forest. To boost his belief, the sage cites the famous quote 'matha pitha guru deivam'.
At first, we see a young Rama (Nagarjuna) asking his preceptor (played by actor Sai Kumar) about means which can let one see god for real.
