Story:
Surya (Allari Naresh) is an ordinary middle-class software employee with a lot of hopes on life. One day, he gets arrested in a murder case which is completely unrelated to him. It changes his life drastically and he had to go to prison. Later, he comes out and sets on to take a revenge. What did he achieve? Did he face any hurdles? What happens in the end?

Performances:
Allari Naresh is truly an asset to this movie. The actor has carried the entire film on his shoulders and did an amazing job in essaying his role. Varalaxmi Sarathkumar not only looked gorgeous but also impressed with her power-packed performance in the film. Priyadarshi Pulikonda is also good in his role. His performance sure added more strength to the film. Harish Uthaman justified his role and delivered a decent performance in the film. He went under the skin of the character and delivered a fine performance in the film. Praveen also acted well. The rest of the actors also made their presence felt.

Technical Aspects:
Vijay Kanakamedala will definitely surprise the audience with his flawless writing skills in the film. He has come up with an interesting and gripping storyline for the film. He succeeded in narrating it in an engaging way. Despite having a few shortcomings, we can say that the movie will reach the expectations. Production values by Satish Vegesna under SV2 Entertainment are one of the biggest plus points of the film. Music by Sri Charan Pakala is mesmerizing. His songs are quite impressive and his BGM elevated all the scenes. Cinematographer Sid has produced some sleek and grand visuals for the film.

Review:
Unlike the other movies, Naandhi is very serious movie. Definitely, it can be considered as an experiment in Naresh's career. The film started off with an interesting premise and the narrative structure intrigues us. Naresh has easily given his career-best performance in Naandhi. He has put his heart and soul for the movie and has come up with an amazing story. Although the second half proceedings appear a bit hurried, the film will satisfy the audience by the end. Naresh deserves a huge appreciation for being an amazing actor on the screen and upping his game constantly. The director also handled the sensitive subject very well and executed it convincingly. A must watch!
