Story:
Om Namo Venkatesaya is a devotional and biographical film, which has been written by K Raghavendra Rao. The movie is based on the life of Hathiram Bhavaji, who was an ardent devotee of Lord Venkaestwara. The director has weaved an interesting screenplay, which is engaging and entertaining.
Perfromance:
As Hathiram Bhavaji, Nagarjuna Akkineni has delivered superb performance, which is the highlight of Om Namo Venkatesaya. Anushka Shetty and Pragya Jaiswal have done justice to their roles. Saurabh Raj Jain has played Lord Venkateswara and his acting is another highlight of the film. Brahmanandam, Aditya Menon, Rao Ramesh, Raghu Babu, Pruthviraj and Vimala are also good assets of the movie
Technical:
Mahesh Reddy has produced Om Namo Venkatesaya under his banner AMR Sai Krupa Entertainments. The film has good production values. M M Keeravani's songs and background score, S Gopal Reddy's camera work, Gautham Raju's editing, beautiful art works and costumes are the main attractions on the technical front, say the audience.
We bring to you some viewers' verdict on the film shared on Twitter. Here is the live update of Om Namo Venkatesaya movie review by audience:

#OmNamoVenkatesaya: A guide to Tirumala. A story of Hathiram Baba! Good watch for those who have bent for devotional movies.
Hemanth Kumar C R @crhemanth
It starts off as a guide to Hathiram Baba & rituals in Tirumala, but there's something so beautiful about it that you just forget everything. More importantly, I was blown away by its music and songs. Terrific work by @mmkeeravaani garu. And @iamnagarjuna is brilliant.
