"Naagavalli" - Telugu Movie Review

"Naagavalli" is perceptively linked up with the storyline of "Chandramukhi" and puts Venky in dual role - one in negative role for first time. It seems to have diluted  the scary contents of original "Aapta Rakshaka" which ran for 200 days and so the film moves in a trajectory of "Chandramukhi" punctuated by the same moments of fear, discovery, and laughter that made "Chandramukhi" so endearing. NV is not your dad's movie to send shivers and thrills because of dangerous verisimillitude to CM. Its watchable but no surprises, except Venky chopping body partsof good men. The heroines are the real heroes but  Anushka really lets down. Funny, Venky gets five  heroines but not even one to woo.
