Story:
Gautham (Sharwanand) is an architect who falls in love with Nithya (Sakshi Vaidya). They also receive approval from Nithya’s father, though he is unsure about how serious their relationship is.
Just when everything seems to be going well, it is revealed that Gautham was in love with Dia (Samyukta Menon) during his college days and even married her. However, they later got divorced. Why did Gautham move away from Dia? What happens when she re-enters his life? The rest of the film answers these questions.
Performances:
Sharwanand perfectly suits the role and delivers the comedy very well. He also brings the required emotional depth towards the climax. Sakshi Vaidya and Samyukta perform well as the female leads and give decent performances.
Naresh provides plenty of laughs in the role of the hero’s father. Sampath Raj is well cast as the heroine’s father. Vennela Kishore, Sunil, Satya, and Sudarshan also deliver convincing performances.
Analysis:
Director Ram Abbaraju, who impressed with his debut Samajavaragamana, takes a familiar storyline in Nari Nari Naduma Murari. But he ensures that the characters and narrative remain engaging for most of the film. Each character has a clear identity and contributes to the nonstop entertainment.
The first half begins on a simple note but becomes more engaging as it progresses. The flashback portion and the episodes leading to the interval are handled well. Several scenes involving Naresh’s second marriage are hilarious, especially the one where he humorously explains why “pelli” is called “marriage” in English, joking that it can happen at any age or stage of life.
The second half focuses on the main conflict, where the hero hides a major truth from his fiancée. The resulting chaos and comedy are enjoyable. While some scenes feel repetitive and an unnecessary song before the pre-climax slows the pace, the director makes up for it with a proper justification for the backstory and an entertaining tail-end to an emotional climax.
Positives:
- Casting/Performances
- 30 Minutes Before the Interval
- Hilarious Scenes in the Second Half
Negatives:
- Ordinary Feel during the starting scenes
- Repetitive/Stretched Moments at a few places
Nari Nari Naduma Murari Review and Verdict:
Ram Abbaraju’s Nari Nari Naduma Murari remains entertaining throughout. Despite a few stretched moments, the film succeeds with its balanced mix of humor and emotion, supported by convincing performances.
