Critic consensus

What 6 critics are saying

Critical reception for Nuvvala Nenila is largely negative, with most reviewers finding it a weak and outdated romantic entertainer. The film is widely identified as an adaptation of the Korean film Seducing Mr Perfect, and critics commonly fault its poor script, lack of humor, and absence of chemistry between the lead actors. Poorna's performance receives isolated mentions of praise across a couple of reviews, but this is not enough to offset broader dissatisfaction. Several critics recommend skipping the film entirely.

    Film review ·

    Nuvvala Nenila is a copy of the Korean film Seducing Mr Perfect and director Trinathrao Nakkina has brought it to the screens with some changes to suit the taste of the Telugu audience. It is good entertainer and it can be watched for its novel concept and Varun-Poorna's performance.

    Film review ·

    Nuvvala Nenila could have easily been a good romantic entertainer, if only there was some great chemistry between the lead actors. However, neither of them realise what they have been missing and it just becomes a laborious exercise to watch them come to terms with their love for each other.

    Film review ·

    On the whole Nuvvala and Nenila is yet another outdated and boring romance from Varun Sandesh. Films like these will never bring him back in form. Other than Poorna's decent performance, this film has absolutely nothing new in it. You can safely ignore it.

    One wishes that Trinadha avoided the trap that our directors are prone to fall it. A film that could have been better.
  5. Telugu Mirchi

    Film review ·

    The film disappoints Varun. Pch! If the storyline is like that, how could it bring a different result to Varun. This week many films have been issued. If the audiences want to choose one among them, then take this film quite lightly.

    Film review ·

    Nuvvala Nenila is nothing but a trashy rehash of South Korean comedy film "Seducing Mr Perfect". It worked back there but sadly in the present times, this film neither falls in the category of boastful slapstick genre nor in witty comedy. A weak script and screenplay joins forces with bad humor and worse duologues to make the film an utterly unpleasant fare. Indeed, there is not a single scene in the film, which can boast of providing any entertainment in any way.
