is
a
movie
on
school
teacher
from
a
village
in
Andhra.
The
Telugu
film
deals
with
adverse
effects
of
Urbanisation
on
our
life.
It
covers
some
of
the
real
incidents
and
try
to
throw
light
on
how
these
aspects
affect
our
day-to-day
life.
It
is
all
about
the
beauty
of
simple
village
life
and
simplicity.
Onamalu
is
a
message-oriented
movie,
which
has
been
shown
on
screen
without
any
commercial
elements.
The
movie
reminds
us
of
our

and
responsibility
towards
our
villages.
It

a
clean
and

into
the
memory
lane
of
teacher.
This
heart-touching
film
focuses
on
deteriorating

the
present
society.
It
does
not
provide
any
solution,
but
shows

life
the
way

is.
Narayanarao
Master
(Rajendra
Prasad)
is
a
retired
school
teacher,
who
is
unable
to
adjust
with
his
children,
who
are
working
in
US.
Fed
up
with
American
culture,
he
decides
to
return
to
his
village.
The
film
starts
with
the
flight
reaching
India.
From
there,
he
engages
a
cab
to
his
village
and
recollects
his
sweet
memories
in
that
village
with
the
cab
driver.
The
entire
part
before
the
interval
bang
is
passed
on
with
the
recollection
alone.
In
this
process,
he
meets
some
of
his
old
students
on
his
way.
However,
he
realises
how
the
entire
world
changed
including
India
with
people
following
western
culture
and
here
too
people
have
changed
their
mentalities
including
his
students.
How
he
makes
efforts
to
enlighten
people
will
form
the
crux
of
the
film.
In
India,
a
teacher
(Guru)
is
treated
as
God
and
described
as
the
representative
of
Brahma,
Vishnu
and
Shiva,
who
create,
sustain
knowledge
and
destroy
the
weeds
of
ignorance.
But
in
recent
times,
several
movies
have
shown
teacher
in
a
very
bad
light.
He
is
shown
being
insulted,
harassed
and
beaten
up
by
students.
But
Onamalu
highlights
a
teacher's
noble
ideas
that
too
sans
commercial
elements.
This
film
is
a
fitting
tribute
to
teachers.
