and
Sameera
Reddy

genre

made
in
India.
Read
on
for
Nadunissi
Naaygal
review.
Story:
Samar
(Veera)
is
the
son
of
a
sex
maniac
father.
Even
as
he
is
an
eight
year
old
boy,
his
father
used
to
enjoy
with
women
and
wine
in
front
of
him.
The
ordeals
continue
for
Samar
for
four
years
until
Meenakshi
(Swapna
Abraham)
comes
to
his
rescue
and
saves
him
from
the
clutches
of
his
father
by
calling
the
police.
In
order
to
avoid
arrest
Samar"s
father
commits
suicide.
Now
Meenakshi
decides
to
bring
him
up
with
a
different
name
Veera
(Veera
Bahu)
and
days
pass
by.
Veera
turns
16
but
his
childhood
incidents
and
horrifying
days
continue
to
haunt
him.
Meenakshi
gets
into
a
sexual
relationship
with
Veera.
At
this
juncture,
Meenakshi
gets
married
to
Krishna,
and
Veera
turns
a
psycho
and
kills
Krishna
and
later
Meenakshi
also
dies
with
burns.
He
reaches
Hyderabad
with
the
dead
body
of
Meenakshi
believing
that
she
is
still
alive.
Veera
turns
into
a
split
personality
and
behaves
with
different
emotions
like
Samara
and
Veera.
Now,
Veera
starts
targeting
young
girls
and
brings
them
to
his
room
to
arrest
them.
Finally,
Veera
finds
his
childhood
friend
Sukanya
(Sameera
Reddy),
who
was
in
love
with
Arjun
(Ashwin)
and
kills
him
to
kidnap
Sukanya.
What
happens
next
should
be
seen
on-screen.
Highlights:
The
highlight
of
the
film
is
the
performance
of
Veera
Bahu
and
Sameera
Reddy.
Veera,
though
a
debutant,
has
shown
different
emotions
in
a
right
perspective.
Even
as
she
enters
in
the
second
half,
Sameera
Reddy
has
given
an
impressive
performance.
Behind
the
screen,
cinematography
by
Manoj
Paramahamsa
would
stand
as
a
highlight
and
remained
a
top
notch.
Antony's
editing
is
is
very
swift.
Above
all
the
director
has
dealt
with
a
delicate
and
sensitive
subject
with
perfect
screenplay
and
has
made
the
narration
quite
effective
with
his
original
stylish
way.
Production
values
of
Mana
Desam
are
appreciative.
Minus:
The
hard-hitting
and
real
life
story,
bloodshed,
terrified
moments
besides
the
psychic
trauma
may
not
be
liked
by
regular
audience.
Gautham
Menon
of
course,
has
done
justice
to
the
film.
The
film
lacks
any
comedy
elements,
dances
and
songs
and
hence
it
may
not
be
liked
by
the
mass.
The
film
has
nothing
to
offer
for
regular
movie
buffs.
