Badrinath (alternatively spelled as Badrenath) is a 2011 Indian Telugu-language romantic action film directed by V. V. Vinayak and produced by Allu Aravind. It stars Allu Arjun as the titular samurai, along with Tamannaah Bhatia, Prakash Raj, Kelly Dorji, Ashwini Kalsekar, Rakesh Varre, Rao Ramesh and Pragathi. The film centers on Badri, an Indian samurai trained by the religious Guru Bheeshma Narayan. As the protector of the Badrinath Temple, Badri strives to restore the faith of Alakananda, an atheist woman who falls for him. He clashes with her cruel uncle, Sarkar, while his Guru suspects him of breaking the rule against falling in love, jeopardizing his succession. Badrinath was released on 10 June 2011 in 1,400 screens worldwide. While it received mixed to positive reviews from critics, it achieved moderate success at the box office. Prem Rakshith won the Filmfare Award for Best Choreography – South for the film's song "Nath Nath". (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
