‘Nari Nari Naduma Murari’ Review: Sharwanand-Naresh Comedy Drives This Festive Entertainer

Released as a Sankranti entertainer, ‘Nari Nari Naduma Murari’ arrives with solid expectations and a clear promise: clean, family-friendly comedy. Starring Sharwanand and directed by Ram Abbaraju, the

film largely delivers on that promise, even if it doesn’t break new ground.

Also featuring Samyuktha Menon, Sakshi Vaidya and Siri Hanumanth, the film positions itself squarely as a crowd-pleasing holiday watch rather than an experimental drama.

Storyline

Sharwanand plays Gautam, an architect whose personal life spirals into chaos just as he tries to settle down. His father Karthik, portrayed by Naresh, shocks everyone by marrying Pallavi, a woman much younger than him, in a bid to escape loneliness.

Meanwhile, Gautam falls in love with Nitya (Sakshi Vaidya). Her father Ramalingam (Sampath Raj) agrees to the marriage, on the condition that it be legally registered. At the registrar’s office, Gautam’s past resurfaces: he was married during his college days to Diya (Samyuktha Menon) and never legally divorced her. Matters worsen when Diya suddenly re-enters his life.

What follows is a series of comic complications as Gautam juggles two women, a complicated father, and mounting legal trouble, fuelling the film’s humour and situational comedy.

Direction And Screenplay

After ‘Samajavaragamana’, director Ram Abbaraju once again leans into clean, dialogue-driven comedy. While the story itself is familiar, the screenplay keeps things engaging with sharp conversations, contemporary references and light Gen-Z humour. The film does not aim for novelty; instead, it relies on timing and performances to carry the narrative.

Performances

Sharwanand is back in familiar territory and seems comfortable with the film’s comedic tone. His expressions and timing work well, especially in scenes where he’s caught between the two female leads.

Naresh is the film’s standout performer. His character provides some of the loudest laughs, particularly in courtroom scenes and family sequences. His comic presence elevates several otherwise routine moments.

Samyuktha Menon brings grace and restraint, while Sakshi Vaidya adds charm and screen presence. Siri Hanumanth fits naturally into her role as Naresh’s young wife. The supporting cast, including Vennela Kishore, Satya, Sunil and Sudharshan, keeps the pace lively with steady comic relief. Sri Vishnu’s guest appearance adds an extra fun moment.

Technical Aspects

The film benefits from crisp dialogues and a polished visual presentation. Vishal Chandrasekhar’s music complements the festive mood, though the songs are serviceable rather than memorable. Production values are solid and suit a holiday release.

Rating: 3.2/5
