When it comes to devotion in Hinduism, some of the most ardent devotees have been found in the history of our Telugu culture. Notable among them was Tarigonda Vengamamba and here is a look at her life and how she has contributed not just to the lord Venkateshwara but also to the Telugu people can be seen in this one.
 

Story : 

 

Set on the backdrop of Tarigonda, a pious Brahmin family of Krishnaiah (sarath Babu) and Mangamamba (sudha) pray for children and their wish is granted in the form of a baby girl. They name her Vengamamba (meena) and right from her childhood, she is a devotee of Lord Venkateshwara. Unlike the regular activities of girls her age, Vengamamba is immersed into her own world of Balaji and his worries her parents. They get her married to Venkata Chalapathi but then she does not carry off her duties as a wife. Even the husband is supportive as he sees a goddess in her. The story takes a turn when Chalapathi dies and Vengamamba decides to take up writing poems and songs on lord Venkateshwara. She is supported by her in-laws and soon her journey takes her to Tirumala. How she handles hiccups that come her way and spread the word of love and devotion forms the essence.

Performances

Meena has come up with a stable and neat performance and she looked very good in the attire of the goddesses. Saikiran was a perfect choice and he showed good resilience in his act, Sana was stunningly perfect as the goddess. Sarath Babu was elegant, Subbaraya Sarma was matured, Sudha had her own share of tears, Ananth and Ashok Rao showed their talent in the negative shades. The others also performed neatly and contributed to the movie.

Verdict

Pleasant and divine, can be watched once
