Director            : P.Vasu
Producer          : Bellamkonda Suresh
Banner             : Sri Sai Ganesh Productions Pvt Ltd
Music Director: Guru Kiran
Rating: 3/5
Victory Venkatesh’s ‘Nagavalli’ is one of the most awaited films of this season. Being a sequel to Rajinikanth’s block-buster film Chandramukhi and a remake of Kannada film, ‘Aptha Rakshaka’, the excitement raised to peaks. Nagavalli released today with maximum prints in Venkatesh’s career. Well, you guys might be waiting for the movie review. Here is our updated Nagavalli movie review for you.

Story:
The story starts with the portrait of Chandramukhi (Anushka) being gifted to Gayatri (Kamalinee Mukherjee). Geeta (Shraddha Das) and Gowri (Richa Gangopadhyay) are the daughters of Sarath Babu and Prabha. Dharmavarupu Subramaniam brother-in-law of Sarath Babu, and his daughter Poonam Kaur stays with them. Things fall worse due to mis-happenings caused from Gauri’s engagement. In this regard, Sarath Babu meets Siddhanti who further meets Dr.Vijay (Venkatesh) to solve the situations. Dr.Vijay finds suspicious things at Sarath Babu’s house like Gayatri, the eldest daughter of Sarath Babu seen dancing in Chandramukhi’s getup in nights. Dr.Vijay makes his investigation strong and leaves to Venkatapuram and comes to know interesting things about Chandramukhi and King Naga Bhairava Rajasekhara (Venkatesh). Chandramukhi and the dance master gets killed by the king and the ghost of Chandramukhi haunts the king and the king escapes. Who is possessed by Chandramukhi out of all ladies? How does she take revenge on king? How does Dr.Vijay help out the family forms the rest of story?
Highlights:
Venkatesh performance in the dual roles as Dr.Vijay and King Naga Bhairava Rajasekhara role is appealing and out of his regular roles.
There is a limited scope for performances of all the leading ladies and were okay in their performances
The background music of the film was great especially in the scary scenes. The suspense is carried out all the way.
The main concept of the Nagavalli is taken from Chandramukhi. The total first half of Nagavalli showcases the story of Chandramukhi which reduces the delight of the audience. The main concept of the film starts only in the second half.
Audiences might expect much thrilling climax of the film as the prequel showcased mind-blowing action by Jyothika but director P.Vasu makes us little disappointed.
Final Verdict:
As a super natural thriller, Nagavalli is successful in creating excitement and maintaining suspense with new twists and twirls but, looking as a sequel to Chandramukhi, Nagavalli fails to take us to the high expectations as most of its story and screenplay is quite similar to Chandramukhi and we at one point of time gets a doubt if we are watching a sequel or a remake of Chandramukhi.

Tollywood 2010: Family-wise Performance Analysis



Firstly the Daggubati Family..


The most honoured family in Tollywood. More than the lust for money, it is the passion for cinema that drives these people ahead. It has been a considerably good year for the Daggubati's. Venkatesh scored a decent hit with Namo Venkatesa and Rana made a mind blowing debut with Leader movie. Rama Naidu won the prestigious Dada Saheb Phalke Award this year and Venkatesh's Nagavalli is gearing up for a release.

And the Akkineni Family..





2010 has been a good year for the Akkinenis too. Though Nagarjuna gave a dud with Kedi, this was immediately covered with the industy hit 'Yem Maya Chesave' by Naga Chaitanya which will remain as a classic along the lines of Devadas and Geetanjali. Nag's another son Akhil too attained celebrity status in Tollywood with his awesome performance in Tollywood T20. Nagarjuna made small guest appearance in Bhumika's Thakita Thalita and his Ragada is getting ready for release.

Da Da.. Nandamuri


A decent year for the Nandamuris. Bala Krishna scored big with Simha. Though Adurs was a fake-claimed hit for Jr NTR, Brindavanam was able to save his grace. Kalyan Ram too fared well with his Kathi


Now the Manchus..







The only saving grace in this family this year has been Manchu Manoj who gave a good entertainer with Bindaas in the beginning of 2010 and a good performance in Vedam. Though his Jhummandi Nadam failed at the box office, it was a musical treat and a visual treat too with Tapsee in it. ManchuVishnu Babu still has not recovered from the effect of his Saleem in 2009 which can be termed as one of the biggest disaster in Tollywood. Manchu Lakshmi, as usual, with her overaction, is posing as a celebrity on Twitter though not many give a damn for her. And the wanna-be Legend and Celebrity Mohan Babu did nothing except a guest appearance in Jhummandi Nadam.

The ALLUs



As we mentioned regarding the Daggubati Family that passion for cinema is prime motto rather than the lust for money, it is quite opposite in this case. Cinema, Politics, Party Ticket Sale Controversy, Deputy CM lobbying.. they have been everywhere in the wrong news that they can be in. But they all have been able to successfully score a flop this year. Ram Chran with his latest flop ORANGE, Allu Arjun with his Varudu and Pawan Kalyan with his ever-green flop Komaram Puli. The lesser we talk about them, the better. As if the existing ones are not enough, Allu Sirish came into league with his low class behave on twitter.


THE EVVs





Though the EVVs are not expected here in this comparision, we are including them not for the case of EVV Satyanarayana or Aryan Rajesh. Its is only for the sake Allari Naresh, who, after proving his act-worthiness in Gamyam has never looked back and is on a continuous run. He had infact 6 movies released this year and 2 are ready for release this month end. They include Shambo Shiva Shambo, Rambabu Gadi Pellam, Aakasa Ramanna, Betting Bangaraju, Shubhapradham, Saradaga kasepu, Kathhi Kantha Rao, Ahana Pellanta. And to mention, EVV's effort to sustain Aryan Rajesh in the industry with Buridi with more than 40 comedians failed and the movie was a super duper flop.

NOTE:- we have not considered in the analysis some actors like Sushanth, Tarak Ratna, Sumanth etc who are not even worthy of being a hero and surviving just by family name. And the remaining big name is that of Mahesh Babu. He too performed decently with Khaleja, he is not included in this analysis as he is not a part of any active cine family anymore since Krishna has disappeared from the spot light these days.
