Story
Goutham (Sharwanand) is in love with Nithya (Sakshi Vaidya). After some hesitation, Nithya’s father, Ramalingayya (Sampath Raj), gives his consent - but with one condition: the wedding must take place at a registrar’s office. However, when they arrive there, an unexpected episode from Goutham’s past resurfaces, triggering a series of humorous misunderstandings. The rest of the film unfolds around this comedy of errors and how everything ultimately falls into place.
Artists Performance
Sharwanand sports two distinct looks as the film unfolds across two timelines. In the flashback portions, he appears in a suave, romantic avatar reminiscent of heroes from Gautham Menon films, and he carries it off effortlessly. His natural comic timing and youthful appearance suit the role well. Sakshi Vaidya looks appealing in a prominent part, while Samyuktha delivers a solid performance in an important role.
Sree Vishnu makes a surprise cameo, which turns out to be effective. The biggest highlight of the film, however, is VK Naresh. He shines in the “Malli Pelli” role, which closely mirrors his real-life persona, and his performance leaves the audience in splits. Sunil gets a refreshing role where he maintains a serious demeanor while generating subtle humour, and it works well.
Vennela Kishore is entertaining as a lawyer who is overly respectful towards his teachers, while Satya is hilarious despite limited screen time. Sudarshan is convincing as Sharwanand’s buddy and is backed by some sharp one-liners. Sampath Raj is solid as the heroine’s father, Bharath Srikanth handles his important role convincingly, and Raghu Babu does well as the judge, adding to the comic relief. Siri Hanumanth delivers a good performance as VK Naresh’s wife.
Story - screenplay - direction:
Director Ram Abbaraju, who rose to prominence with his debut theatrical film Samajavaragamana, once again opts for an entertainment-driven love story set against a family backdrop. Bhanu Bogavarapu crafts a love-and-family narrative with ample scope for humour. Ram Abbaraju ensures that the comedy clicks through multiple characters, with special emphasis on VK Naresh. The film prioritises humour over exploring the emotional depth of love, especially since it revolves around two love stories.
All the comedy actors - VK Naresh, Sunil, Vennela Kishore, Sudarshan, Satya, and Raghu Babu - deliver effective performances. The screenplay improves in the last half hour, where certain logical connections fall into place. However, the second half could have benefited from some trimming, particularly the title song and the few episodes in preceding scenes. Overall, Ram Abbaraju proves once again that he has a strong comic sensibility and a keen eye for wholesome family entertainment.
Other departments: The song Darshaname, composed by Vishal Chandrasekhar, is pleasing, and the background score complements the film well. Cinematography by Gnana Shekar VS and Yuvraaj stands out, especially the styling and colour grading in the flashback portions, which I particularly liked. The editing is neat, while the dialogues penned by Nandu Savirigana provide plenty of material for trending memes. Overall, the production values from AK Entertainments are solid.
Analysis: Nari Nari Naduma Murari is an entertainment-focused film that revolves around a man caught between two women - but with a fresh twist. The comedy clicks effectively, with the sequences written for and featuring VK Naresh standing out as a major highlight. Given that festival audiences usually look for fun-filled, family-oriented entertainers, this film fits the bill perfectly.
