The recently released film “Nari Nari Naduma Murari,” starring Sharwanand, Sayukta, Sakshi Vaidhya, Naresh, and Vennela Kishore, has made its debut with a moderate level of promotion, especially in comparison to other films. Directed by Ram Abbaraju and produced by Anil Sunkara and Ramabrahmam Sunkara, the movie hit theaters on January 14, 2026, just in time for the Sankranti festival. Following the release of its trailer, curiosity about the film began to grow among audiences. Given that Sharwanand has faced a series of flops recently, many are eager to see if this film would mark a return to form for the actor.
The story revolves around Gautam, played by Sharwanand, who is an architect in love with Nitya, portrayed by Sakshi Vaidhya. After losing his mother at a young age, Gautam’s father, Karthik (Naresh), remarries a younger woman named Pallavi. As Gautam prepares to marry Nitya, her father, Ramalingaiah (Sampath Raj), initially opposes the union. However, eventually relenting due to his daughter’s distress, he insists that their wedding must take place at the registrar’s office, leading Gautam to reluctantly agree. The ensuing chaos raises questions about the nature of Gautam’s relationship with Dia (Sayukta) and how the lies told in pursuit of marriage affect Karthik and Pallavi’s relationship. Audiences are left wondering if Gautam and Nitya will actually tie the knot.
In terms of execution, “Nari Nari Naduma Murari” delivers a refreshing comedic experience, despite its somewhat predictable storyline. The film effectively captures the essence of a good comedy: if it can make the audience laugh, it has succeeded. After the blockbuster “Sama Javaragamana,” director Ram Abbaraju returns with another laugh-out-loud narrative. Though the plot may not break new ground, the screenplay shines with clever dialogue and engaging comedic elements. The film opens with a humorous scene involving a father in his sixties who falls for a girl in her twenties, setting the tone for a comedic journey that continues throughout the film.
The narrative picks up significant momentum once Gautam and Nitya head to the registrar’s office for their wedding. The introduction of Dia adds unexpected twists to the plot, keeping the audience intrigued. The second half of the film amplifies the comedic doses further, particularly with Vennela Kishore’s scenes and the hilarious courtroom drama revolving around divorce proceedings. Naresh’s character elicits laughter not only through his interactions but also with well-timed punchlines that resonate with the audience, making them reflect on his personal life humorously.
While the film maintains a light-hearted tone throughout, it also incorporates emotional elements as the climax approaches. The humor persists even in sensitive moments, ensuring that viewers leave the theater with smiles on their faces. The film succeeds in offering clean comedy, making it suitable for family viewing without resorting to vulgarity or inappropriate scenes. Families can enjoy a delightful two-and-a-half-hour laughter-filled experience together.
As for performances, Sharwanand fits perfectly into the character of Gautam, whose comedic misadventures between two women provide numerous moments of laughter. Naresh shines as the second lead, bringing life to Karthik with relatable humor drawn from real-life experiences. The female leads, Sakshi Vaidhya and Sayukta, also deliver commendable performances, adding depth to their respective characters. Supporting roles by actors like Vennela Kishore, Sampath Raj, and Sunil further enrich the film with their comic timing.
Overall, “Nari Nari Naduma Murari” is a well-crafted comedy that combines strong performances with a witty script. While the film may not offer groundbreaking storytelling, it guarantees a good time for anyone looking to unwind and share some laughs. With its engaging dialogues and humorous sequences, it promises a delightful cinematic experience for audiences this Sankranti.
