Saurabh gleamed (as always) as Lord Balaji.
I loved the sequence when the sthala purana of Venkateshwara was recreated. Yet his expressions were exactly how they should be. With the make-up and everything he looks so enigmatic that if I had to imagine God, I would rather imagine his face! He didn't know the language and his voice was dubbed. A kind of innocence and piousness which all together looks divine.

Now coming to the main guy around whom the movie revolves, Lord Venkateshwara, was the highlight. But the time frame she stays there, she makes the most of it. Krishnamma played by Anushka Sharma was a rather small character whose only job was to "support". His looks, his grace, and his devotion to the Lord Balaji was in simple words: Spellbinding. He shined brilliantly, like a true devotee. No one could have pulled off the character as good as Nagarjuna. It is simply enigmatic and it touches your heart. The character of Hathiram Babaji is a bliss. The subtitles were simple and overall I was drawn to a very different ecstatic divine world where everything is joyful. Top that, I didn't know the language, hence the lyrics didn't bire me either. It didn't bore me with jarring 20th century mixes or honey sing raps (which are TORTURE). This movie is both, and that too in Sanskritic Telegu! Thankfully, the music was soulful. But a devotional a film is not much my type, nor is musical.
As I saw him in the teaser of the film, my heart was prepared to spell money on the film. I am huge fan of him and I duely wsh him all the prosperity of the world. But the reason I still went to see it in PVR was for Saurabh Raj Jain, the shy and humble television actor who roped in to stardom due to his role of Lord Krishna in Mahabharat. But never in my life had I gone specially to a theatre to watch a Telegu movie. I was pretty aware of Nagarjun and Anushka Shetty. Though I have seen a lot of Telegu movies but they were all dubbed in Hindi. Well how do I start? I am a north Indian with absolutely no idea about Telegu language.
