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
