Interest levels increased as the film is named after Balakrishna\'s hit film Nari Nari Naduma Murari. Nari Nari Naduma Murari is directed by Ram Abbaraju. The films OTT rights have been inked by Amazon Prime Video for a fancy amount. The film\'s OTT streaming will be after the end of its theatrical run. Let us findout what Sharwanand offered to movie lovers during Sankranti.\r\nSharwanand for all his talent and youthful exuberance has been unable to reach the next level of stardom as his previous ventures lacked the final punch to propel him at the box office. Under these circumstances he decided to team with Ram Abbaraju for Nari Nari Naduma Murari. Expectations are high as the story for the film is written by Bhanu Bhogavarapu and diaogues are penned by Nandu Sarivigna.\r\nThe trio earlier created a laughing riot with Sree Vishnu\'s Samajavaragamana. Now the question is did the trio replicated the magic of Samajavaragamana and presented Sharwanand that eluding hit at the box office?\r\n<h2 style=\"box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif, Ramabhadra; font-weight: 500; line-height: 1.1; margin-top: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; font-size: 18px; padding-bottom: 0px; background-color: #ffffff;\">Nari Nari Naduma Murari (2026) Movie: Story Review</h2>\r\nNari Nari Naduma Murari story revolves around a youngster who is sandwiched between currrent lover and ex lover and the experiences he undergoes and how he overcomes the difficulties.\r\nGautam (Sharwanand) falls in love with a beautiful female architect Nitya (Sakshi Vaidya). After initial rejection, her father, renowned lawyer Ramalingaiah (Sampath Raj) agrees for their marriage but with a condition.\r\nWhat is that condition?&nbsp; who is Dia (Samyuktha), What role Gautam\'s father Karthik (Naresh), Dia\'s father (Srikanth Iyengar), Gunasekhar (Vennela Kishore), Lavakusa (Satya) and others played form the interesting twists and turns.\r\n<h2 style=\"box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif, Ramabhadra; font-weight: 500; line-height: 1.1; margin-top: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; font-size: 18px; padding-bottom: 0px; background-color: #ffffff;\">Nari Nari Naduma Murari (2026) Movie: Artists Review</h2>\r\nSharwanand sported a new look in the film. He looked lean and mean and handsome and charming. These kind of roles are tailor made for him and it turned out to be a cakewalk. He infact lived in the role and his mannerisms and expressions are a treat to watch. He ensured in the smooth flow of the narration with his performance.\r\nHe delivered dialogues with ease and showed variations according to the situation. He emoted well as a person in love, caring son, and as a youngster who tries to wriggle out of the problems.\r\nSakshi Vaidya got an important role in the film as the female lead. She looked gorgeous on the screen and performed well. She expessed and emoted well according to the situation. For some reason, Samyuktha played the second lead.\r\nSr Naresh turned out to be the showstopper with his performance. While Sharwanand and others did full justice to their roles, it is Naresh who propelled the film to another level with his impeccable performance, mannerisms, expressions and emotions. He with his screenpresence and dialogue delivery elevated the scenes casting a magic spell on the viewers.\r\nSampath Raj, Vennela Kishore, Satya, Sudarshan, Sreekanth Iyengar, Sunil, Madhunandan and others performed according to their roles. They with their screenpresence made an impact on the screen. Sree Vishnu\'s cameo comes at an important time and he is impressive.\r\n<h2 style=\"box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif, Ramabhadra; font-weight: 500; line-height: 1.1; margin-top: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; font-size: 18px; padding-bottom: 0px; background-color: #ffffff;\">Nari Nari Naduma Murari (2026) Movie: Technicians Review</h2>\r\nNari Nari Naduma Murari story is Bhanu Bhogavarapu and is directed by Ram Abbaraju. Expectations increased the moment Ram Abbaraju turned out to be the director for the film as he dealt with the complex emotions quite well in Samajavaragamana. At the start itself, the director gave singals that the film is a hilarious entertainer. Right from the first scene, the entire first half is racy with comedy scenes and entertaining elements.\r\nHe generated immense fun in the love story of Sharwanand and Sakshi and also Sharwanand\'s father Naresh and Sakshi\'s father Sampath Raj. He subtly highlighted the problems that occur due to the mistakes commited by people during their young age and with the racy screenplay, he ensured that viewers donot get bored anywhere.\r\nJust like in Samajavaragamana, he touched a complex point, showed the consequences of marriage of 60year old with a 25 year old girl and couple of dialogues like the mistakes at the young age shouldn\'t haunt in life are thought provoking. While the first half is racy, second half pace dips a bit but that is bearable as the humour donot get toned down at any moment.\r\nVishal Chandrasekhar tuned music for the songs. Couple of songs are good but one gets a feeling that their placement hampered the film\'s freeflow. The songs placed in the second half could have been done away with. The background music scored added value to the final output.\r\nGnana Shekar VS, Yuvraaj with their cinematography turned the film colorful and all the scenes into visually appealing ones. They infact added value to the narration with the color combinations and camera angles.\r\nEditing is quite crispy and helped the film\'s screenplay racy in the first half. There are few lags and couple of scenes repeated dragging the film in the second half a bit. Had due care been taken in the second half, it would have been even better.\r\nNandu Savirigana\'s dialogues are situational and extremely hilarious. Production values are grand.\r\n<h2 style=\"box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif, Ramabhadra; font-weight: 500; line-height: 1.1; margin-top: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; font-size: 18px; padding-bottom: 0px; background-color: #ffffff;\">Nari Nari Naduma Murari: Advantages</h2>\r\n<ul style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif, Ramabhadra; font-size: 17px; background-color: #ffffff;\">\r\n<li style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\">Sharwanand</li>\r\n<li style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\">Performances</li>\r\n<li style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\">Hilarious Scenes</li>\r\n<li style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\">Racy Screenplay</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h2 style=\"box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif, Ramabhadra; font-weight: 500; line-height: 1.1; margin-top: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; font-size: 18px; padding-bottom: 0px; background-color: #ffffff;\">Nari Nari Naduma Murari: Disadvantages</h2>\r\n<ul style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif, Ramabhadra; font-size: 17px; background-color: #ffffff;\">\r\n<li style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\">Predictable Plot</li>\r\n<li style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\">Few Lags</li>\r\n<li style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\">Songs Placement</li>\r\n<li style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\">Routine Climax</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h2 style=\"box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif, Ramabhadra; font-weight: 500; line-height: 1.1; margin-top: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; font-size: 18px; padding-bottom: 0px; background-color: #ffffff;\">Nari Nari Naduma Murari (2026) Movie: Rating Analysis</h2>\r\nAltogether, Nari Nari Naduma Murari turns out to be an excellent hilarious entertainer.

Malaika Arora speaking to scribes reacted on dating rumours. She said &ldquo;He is somebody who is so very important to me and someone who is such an integral part of my life. Whatever may be. I don&rsquo;t really want to talk too much about my past or what my future may be&hellip; enough and more has been written about it. Enough and more has been splashed all over, kind of become a bit of a media feeding ground sort of space.&rdquo;\r\nOn her breakup with Arjun Kapoor, she said &ldquo;People like talking. If you are spotted with somebody, you go out, and it becomes a huge discussion. I don&rsquo;t really want to give chatter unnecessarily, too much of fuel. I don&rsquo;t want to do that because it really doesn&rsquo;t serve any purpose. \r\nTrust me, every time I have stepped out, even if it&rsquo;s a longtime friend, a gay friend, a married friend, an old friend, a manager or anybody, I am immediately linked to that person. We laughed and joked about it. My mother calls me and asks, &lsquo;Who is this now, baby? Who are they talking about?&rsquo; It has just become laughable.&rdquo;

\r\nRadhika Apte dreams of changing working hours. Radhika Apte known for her frank views speaking to scribes, shared her thoughts on working hours.\r\nShe said&nbsp; \"I\'ll change the working hours to begin with. You can\'t expect someone to go an entire week without seeing their child. I\'ve had multiple conversations and arguments over refusing to do long shifts. You\'ll be surprised at how much one has to fight. I find it quite baffling. And people say have a nanny and let them come on set. I\'m sorry, but that\'s really not the answer.\"\r\nRadhika Apte continued&nbsp; \"non-negotiables when signing a script.\" She said that she would \"appreciate a five-day work week and a 12-hour shift.\" \"I\'ve started putting my foot down and a lot of people haven\'t liked it. I can\'t work beyond 12 hours. And that includes everything from travel, hair, makeup, and the shoot itself. If my travel takes two hours, then the shift has to be planned accordingly. Of course, there can be exceptions to this but that\'s my non-negotiable. I insist on weekly offs and ideally wouldn\'t want to work more than five days a week. Unless it is a small film where the project genuinely can\'t function. I\'d appreciate a five day a week and a 12-hour shift.\"\r\n
