Badrinath, alternatively spelled as Badrenath,[3][5] is a 2011 Indian Telugu-language romantic action film[6][7][8] directed by V. V. Vinayak, written by Chinni Krishna and produced by Allu Aravind. It stars Allu Arjun in the titular role along with Tamannaah, Prakash Raj and Kelly Dorji. The film revolves around Badri, a skilled warrior trained by a religious Guru and martial arts expert Bheeshma Narayan. After being made the protector of Badrinath temple, Badri tries to revive the faith of Alakananda, an atheist woman who has fallen for him, in God and gets pitted against her cruel uncle Sarkar, while his Guru suspects him to be in love with Alakananda, something against the rules for becoming his successor. The film co-stars Ashwini Kalsekar, Rakesh Varre, Rao Ramesh and Pragathi.
Allu Arjun, who plays a modern-day Indian samurai,[9] undertook intensive martial arts and sword fighting training in Vietnam.[10][11] This film also marks his first pairing with Tamannaah.[12] Cinematographer Ravi Varman in an interview told that the film was shot on a Panavision lens at a set in Kulaba on the way to the Rohtang pass apart from the Badrinath temple, on sets in Hyderabad and in Spain, Italy, Germany and Austria.[13] Earlier, it was reported that the film would also have a dubbed version in Tamil with actor Santhanam’s comedy scenes added, but the plan was dropped out due to the commercial failure of the Tamil dubbed versions of Telugu films Shakti and Magadheera.[14][15] Made on a budget of ₹42 crore (US$5.6 million), it was also one of the most expensive Telugu-language films at that time.[4]
Previously slated to release on 4 June 2011,[16] the film along with a dubbed Malayalam version was released on 10 June 2011 in 1,400 screens worldwide and ran for 50 days in 187 theatres despite an unfavorable critical reception.[17] Prem Rakshith won the Filmfare Award for Best Dance Choreographer for the film’s song Nath Nath.[18]
