Naari Naari Naduma Murari
2026 · The Hindu
Nari Nari Naduma Murari rises above your average rom-com because it has something to say beyond its flashy premise.

While retaining his strength in verbal comedy, Ram Abbaraju tries his hand at a style of humour that's lighter than Samajavaragamana, and is reasonably successful.
Nagabandham
2026 · The Hindu
For all the effort that has gone into Nagabandham's larger-than-life visual appeal, its core is disappointing. Like several recent films across languages, it works as a clickbait film, conveniently milking a period of communal tension and cashing in on the country's volatile political climate for easy returns.

2015 · The Hindu · Nov 2015
You wish the makers tried as sincerely to weave in a solid plot. The love thread gives a glossy topping and lets the male protagonist take centrestage in this context.
