Akhilanda Koti Brahmananda Nayakan, a successful film

By N.THYAGARAJAN


Sri Nagarjuna, son of renowned Telugu and Tamil film actor Shree Akkineni Nagaswara Rao has made sometime ago proved his caliber in acting through Annamacharya, a devotional film, based on the real story mentioned in Lord of Tirumala hills  purana with Shri Annamacharya.

Nagarjuna then had acted as Saint Annamacharya who sang many hymns in praise of the Lord of Seven Hills. The Telugu version of the film which was dubbed into Tamil and released throughout the city had proved a box-office hit. People in Tamil Nadu, welcomed the impeccable performance of Nagarjuna. There were many in Tamil Nadu who had enjoyed the Tamil version many number of times.

Nagarjuna has made yet another record through the film, Akilanda Koti Brahmanda Nayakan which was released in Tamil Nadu recently.
 Rama an ardent devotee of Lord Venkatesa was not allowed to enter the temple of Lord Balaji. Though he has the grace of the Lord, for some reasons he was not allowed inside the temple. Then the devotee Rama starts staying outside the temple, only uttering the names of Lord Venkatesa foregoing his meals every day. When the king visits  the temple, people complains about the executive officer of the temple. They say to the king, the officer swindles the revenue of the temple. Then the King  who has unshakeable belief with the Lord says, that the real devotee of Lord Balaji could alone give clean administration, as they would not long for the revenue of the temple or for any other persons. The King sees the devotion of Raman who was rounding outside the temple uttering the name of the Lord appoints him as the executive of the temple.

The ex-Executive Officer who became angry on being stripped off his position and appointing  Raman in his place creates enmity and tries to take revenge against Raman. All his plans flops because of the Grace of Sri Venkateswara.

Lord Himself starts playing dice with His Devotee Raman, in which Lord looses all his ornaments. The next day when the temple was opened for the public darshan, the priests of the temple were shocked to find that there was no gold ornaments in the temple.

Raman was branded a culprit. Then the Lord Himself appears and tells that He alone had lost all His ornaments to Raman. 

The story revolves around whether the Lord Himself played the dice with his devotee Raman. (Though it was a real story of Lord of Tirumala Hills with Raman), for the entertainment of  audience, the producer had introduced Nagarjun with a female character Anushka, as his wife.

Nagarjun has the knack of doing any devotional role with calm and unsullied mind , and this he proves it in this film also. Nagarjun has the idiosyncrasy of smiling  by simply moving his lips for a while and then go back to his original position. The audience always expected him to give a long smiling, but as a devotee of the Lord of Hills, a small smile with scaled dialogues alone would prove the merit of the character. In this, Nagarjun never failed. Similarly, the devotee Raman never challenges with anyone because he has the power of the Lord.

When Raman begs Lord Venkatesa that he wanted to die at the Tirumala Hills, the Lord grants him the boon. One could not forget the action of Nageswara Rao's son Nagarjun had exemplified in acting in each and every frame.

The film is really suitable and could be seen with all family members, as it was not attached with any vulgarity..
