Vanaja (Mamatha Bhukya) is the 15-year-old daughter of Somayya (Ramachandriah Marikanti), a poor, low caste fisherman from rural. Somayya struggles to support his family due to dwindling catches at sea and mounting debts. One day, Vanaja and her teenage friend Lacchi (Bhavani Renukunta) watch a theatrical performance by a former (a native form) great, Rama Devi (Urmila Dammannagari).
The sequence of events lead to a predicting to Vanaja that she will be a great dancer. With permission from her father, she goes to work in the house of the local landlady Rama Devi with the hope of learning. While she is employed as a farmhand, she is entrusted with tending the chickens.
When she gets caught playfully chasing them, she lies to conceal her pranks. Her vivaciousness and spunk soon catch the landlady’s eye. To keep her out of trouble, Rama Devi soon promotes her to a kitchen underhand where she meets Rama Devi’s cook, the old, crusty and extremely loyal Radhamma (Krishnamma Gundimalla). After settling down at the landlady's house, Vanaja gets invited to play a game of (a leisurely game in rural towns of Andhra Pradesh) against the landlady. Knowing that losing isn’t the mistress’s forte, she deliberately gives up her game. This gesture, in turn, eventually secures her the landlady’s mentorship, first in music and then in dance. Vanaja excels at these art forms and seems to be on a steadily ascending path until the arrival of Shekhar (Karan Singh), the landlady's 23-year-old son, from the United States.
Shekhar is a handsome, muscular young man who is running for an office in the local government. Sexual chemistry is ignited between Shekhar and Vanaja (still a minor at 15) when flirtation and sexual innuendo bloom. In the meanwhile, her father's fishing boat is taken away by creditors.
He sinks into a state of sadness and begins to drink away their savings. On one occasion, Vanaja’s superior intellect pits her against Shekhar in a public incident which ultimately humiliates him in front of his mother. Matters escalate, and one day Vanaja is raped by Shekhar.
She eventually loses her job when she becomes pregnant. She gives birth to a boy, much against Rama Devi’s wishes who would have liked her to abort the foetus.

While working on his bachelor's degree at the, he wrote short stories. One of his stories, The Dowry, was twice selected for broadcast by while he was in. During schooling, he was introduced to south, especially on the, and followed this up with years of training on the vocals.
While he was working as a in, he pursued filmmaking and graduated with a degree from. A short synopsis, including a character and a conflict study of Vanaja, was Domalpalli's project submission in his first semester at the in fall of 2001.
The story was inspired by a child's scream upon being separated from her mother in. Over the next three semesters, however, the story veered from its original focus of mother-child separation to what Domalpalli later described as a study of 'elements of and conflict that continue to infuse our society and culture even today.' Referring to its emphasis, he said the film was also about 'fading institutions of folk art, old buildings that are collapsing, things which we should be protecting — which are a part of our heritage.' Speaking of the need for preservation of Indian culture and heritage, he said that making the film was an opportunity to emphasise the Indian, too.
Filmmaking. Vanaja is seen slicing a coconut, while the cook, Radhamma, stokes a coal fire. Referring to the challenges faced in casting, he said that while they were canvassing local people for auditions, they were warding off rumours that they were after the people's kidneys. When placing a newspaper advertisement for the landlady's character did not seem viable, they advertised for household help instead. Upon seeing this, Urmila Dammannagari turned up for the interview with Domalpalli. Inadvertently, their conversation veered toward the film and the real motive behind the advertisement became evident.
Though initially shocked and despite the fact that she had to commute 25 kilometres (16 mi) from her house to the location, she took up the role. Professionally Krishnamma Gundimalla, who played the role of Radhamma, carried bricks on her head as a construction worker. On the other hand, Ramachandriah Marikanti, who plays Vanaja's fisherman father, was a sweeper and worked as a security guard. For casting Vanaja and Lacchi, he said that they met approximately 2500 children, interviewed about 260, and finally selected two from a shortlist of five to play the roles of Vanaja and Lacchi. Parents of these children were distrustful of them because their wards would have to frequently commute to Domalpalli's house for acting lessons for at least a year.
Domalpalli felt that 'to convince people to devote so much of their children's time and energy was hard enough, but to find the right combination of intelligence, commitment and talent as well was probably the steepest cliff they had to climb.' While visiting schools for identifying the child cast, Mamatha Bhukya at first was not selected because her hair was short. But after she sang a song on, she was selected for the role.
Srinivas Devarakonda, a disciple of well-known Kuchipudi Vempati Chinna Satyam, taught Mamatha the classical dance form for a year in the basement of Domalpalli's house. Due to this sustained effort, she altered her ambitions from becoming a doctor to an actress and a dancer. Bhavani Renukunta was chosen for Lacchi's role after an interview at the Hyderabad office of Varija Films, the company that handled the publicity.born Milton Kam, who had shot 10 feature films and more than 50 short films, was chosen as the.
Since Domalpalli's experience was limited to short video films with a different, he was shocked to look through the lens the day they commenced the shoot. However, Kam helped him to stay composed during the production.
Domalpalli used for the background score. This featured the violin-playing of B. A student of renowned Carnatic violinist. Narayanan played the popular Jayadeva 'Sa virahe', having retuned it in the or known as 'Behag'. Domalpalli used 'janapada geetalu' in the film: folk songs that are rarely heard. To record these songs for the film, Domalpalli and his crew travelled to towns and villages in rural Andhra.
Release and reception. Vanaja rests on the set after performing a Kuchipudi dance.
The film received an overall positive response from critics and was particularly noted for the theme and for Mamatha Bhukya's performance. The review aggregator gives the film a score of 85% based on 26 critic reviews with an average rating of 7/10. Described Bhukya as 'a natural star, her eyes and smile illuminating a face of freshness and delight.' Writing about Vanaja, he added that 'there are the glorious colors of saris and room decorations, the dazzle of dance costumes and the dusty landscape that somehow becomes a watercolor by, with its hills and vistas, its oxen and elephants, its houses that seem part of the land.
In this setting, Domalpalli tells his story with tender precision, and never an awkward moment.' Ebert listed it among the top five foreign films of 2007.
According to Laura Kern from, the film 'is a coming-of-age tale that is engrossing, if slightly overlong, and absolutely timeless, unfolding against an antiquated class system that sadly stands firm in rural areas of India to this day.' A review in called it 'a film that touches the heartstrings as it brings home the cruel class distinctions that poison Indian society,' and said it 'is more than a children's film, despite revolving around a central character of 14. Its social message, linked to the story of a poor farm girl who aspires to be a dancer, never feels forced, and the moral issues it depicts are realistically complex.' Commenting on its commercial feasibility, the review concluded that 'while that might not translate into obvious box office potential, art house appeal is there for distributors willing to seek out a market.'
The wrote: It's a touching, believable, often funny but ultimately sad tale of how one class can take advantage of another, even in the guise of patronizing benevolence. Though sometimes shifting abruptly in time, Vanaja is an arresting story of modern-day hardship and class exploitation, recalling Charles Dickens as well as Western fairy-tale lore. Domalpalli's settings are ultra-real in detail and color, from the crude, almost feudal deprivations of Vanaja's dirt-floor background to the stately rituals and autocratic entitlement of the well-to-do. Speaking of Bhukya's performance, the writes, 'Bhukya delivers an entrancing and natural performance, deftly balancing both the wide-eyed childishness of a young girl with the dawning awareness of life's darker possibilities.
She's also an accomplished dancer, which she proves at several points in the film.' It adds, 'can this wonder-filled film truly be not only Domalpalli's first feature, but originally part of a thesis submission at Columbia University? Both in the film's writing and direction, Domalpalli displays maturity, wisdom and a loving sense of visual and character detail.' Marc Savlov of proclaimed, 'director Domalpalli, who, with his debut feature, turned in what may well be the best Columbia University master's thesis ever.' Also claimed like the Chicago Tribune that the film would remind the Western audience of, and further stated that it '.
Gives a detailed sense of place and shows a mastery of story telling. The themes of fate and class resonate and the work of the amateur players is remarkably moving.'
Despite the generally positive reception, some critics differed in their opinion of the content and depiction. The criticised the film saying that 'there's enough mush in the Indian melodrama Vanaja to fill an entire season of a TV soap opera,' adding that toward its ending, the 'viewers will be bored stiff by (the) long, tedious film'. Though the 'narrative meanders. it evokes village life with stark authenticity,' said a review. References.
