Annamayya

Annamayya is a cinematic masterpiece that tells the story of India's famous saint-poet, Annamacharya. The film is a beautiful depiction of Annamacharya's life, from his childhood to his old age, and his devotion to Lord Venkateswara. The film showcases how Annamacharya's love for God led him to write and sing hymns in praise of the Lord, and how he became a court poet to the ruler of the country. The film also highlights the challenges he faced from the priests and Brahmins who were unhappy with his social inclusion of lower caste people in the temple. Despite the obstacles, Annamacharya's work was preserved for eternity, and the film ends with a powerful message about the power of devotion and the grace of God.
