ramesherrabolu Saw this movie many years ago and love the songs. The movie captures the essence of a devotee, his relationship with the Lord. I think that is the sum essence of all of life.In one of the songs, the devotee Ramadaasu complains about the money he spent for the various ornaments to decorate the Lord. Lord out of His mercy lovingly allows such emotions amongst His devotees. I therefore believe that nobody should mess with devotees as it would draw the Ire of Lord, whose love for His devotees knows no bounds.

sg_misc Another feather in the cap of Raghavendra Rao. Wish Annamayya is made now. The graphics and audio are superb. A well made film. The comedy track with Sunil especially the way the dialogues were delivered by his character and the dialogues in the cart between him and his parents are slightly cheap - could have been made better. Overall the film is great. The picturisation of the song "Antha Ramamayam" is fantastic. Especially the grandeur in which the descent of Rama (Vishnu)to earth is depicted is marvellous. Credit goes to Keeravani for the excellent music. Photography by Gopal Reddy is superb. A blown-up print of the film was shown on IMAX screen in Hyderabad - first ever telugu film to hit the IMAX screen.

srikrishna komatineni I watched this movie with great expectations. Probably thats why I am not giving 10 out of 10. First and foremost the credit goes to the Hero, Nagarjuna. He really outperformed everyone. He acted with much ease (probably Annamayya would have given enough experience and comfort level) from the beginning to the end. Sneha suits the female lead character well. There isn't anything about the rest.Coming to the story line, Ramadasu is a great devotee of Lord Rama, and he forgotten his duties as a Tahasildar ( District officer) and used the taxes to construct Lord Rama's temple. He was tortured in for 12 years before Lord Rama himself came and pay the money to the King and released Ramadas from cell. This itself a great story and the director should have shown the life of Ramadas, and the way he became a great devotee, and how he forgot his responsibilities and used the money in great belief instead of opting for cheap comedy, and the regular masala stuff. This really irks me and thats one of the reason I don't want to give this movie an upper hand to Annamayya. Anyway its a great relief for regular viewer of Telugu pictures as he's been going to the theater to watch the same routing 16 years hero fall in love with 14 year gal or hero loves villain's sister/daughter etc stuff. There are some goofs which're real shocks. 1. When Ramadas was in jail, one can clearly see the "Tatto" on his right shoulder. I don't think so that the "Tatto" was "in" those days. 2. History says Ramadasu was in jail for 12 years. In the movie I think they'vent considered this part.

ram-vlsi Punchline of the movie is Sri Rama Naamaamrutham, the divine nectar of the name Sri Rama. The movie is about a great devotee "Kancherla Gopanna", popularly known as Ramadasu. K.Raghavendra rao once again came up with a good devotional movie, Keeravani is the key element, his music is excellent, he should be applauded for such a great performance. Nagarjuna's performance is an asset for the movie. The movie is full of devotional elements, director narrated the story in a decent way and the emotions rise as the movie progresses, reaching the peak at the climax. Ikshvakula thilaka, ye theeruga, Dasarathi songs are excellent and intense with fervor... troubles faced by Shri Ramadasu were pictured well, movie is excellent and Nagarjuna is lucky to get such a role.
