Director and Producer: Y.V.S. Choudary
Banner: Bommarillu vari
Music: Manisharma
Released Date: January 11, 2008

Story:
Satyam babu alias Veera Venkata Satyanarayana Swamy Balakrishna) lives in the village of Venkatapuram and the villagers belief him as god. Even the police are afraid to touch him. He performs the marriage of two lovers, the groom being the son of chief minister (Asutosh Rana). Meanwhile an old man contineus to kill the bad guys. By decoding certain features from the old man, the police assumes Satyam babu as the killer. During interrogation of Ramu, the old man comes and reveals that he is the killer. He also reveals that he was the Okka Magaadu, Raghupati Raghava Rajaram (Balakrishna), who fought with the British for freedom. Who is Okka Magaadu? Why does he kill the bad guys is the remaining story of the film.

Performances:
Balakrishna's performance as young Satyam babu and old man Okka Magaadu is excellent. YVS Chowdary presented Balarkrishna in new avatar look and he looked handsome. Nisha Kothari and Anushka do not have any special role to play, but they have done well in dances and adding glamour to the film. Simran has a special role in this movie and she performed aptly. Ashutosh Rana is okay. Krishna Bhagawan and Raghubabu are the comedians in the movie, but you hardly laugh by their comedy. Screenplay and direction by Y.V.S. Choudary is not upto the mark. Music by Manisharma is good. Dialogues are good. Some stunts in the movie are hard to believe.

Overall, the movie has opened with huge expectations because of the combination of Balakrishna and Y.V.S. Choudary, but it is far below from expectations. The only plus point of the film is Balakrishna.
