Om Namo Venkatesaya was expected to recreate the magic of Annamayya at the box office. The famous quartet (Nag, KRR, MMK, JKB) that has given two memorable devotional classics in Annamayya and Sriramadasu, is once again at it with Om Namo Venkatesaya, a fictional story based on real life character Hathiram Bavaji.
In fact the film is decent and an easy one time watch for the devotional movie lovers. However, it was strangely ignored by the family section of audience as well as the masses.
ONV’s struggles started from day 1 and continued until it was out of the theaters. There was no sign of improvement in its collections at any point and finally it has ended up as the biggest disaster ever in the history of Telugu cinema.
While the pre release theatrical business stands at Rs. 36 crore, the movie failed to recover at least 10 crore from its theatrical run. Below is the full run breakup of Om Namo Venkatesaya.
