"Quite an earnest attempt in pulling out an impressive crime thriller!"
ConfusedRoulette25 August 2019
The trailer of this film portrays it as an intriguing tell tale of events with three converging stories forming a multilayered thriller. Does it really stay true to these aspects? Read on to know!

The plot revolves around the crime investigation of a young woman who dies in an accident. Two of the woman's friends turn up at the police station to report her missing, only to find out that their friend is dead. The police after finding the evidence of involvement of her boyfriend, arrest him and decide to close the case. However the plot takes a turn when they find out something shocking in the investigation! What exactly is it? You need to watch the film to know that!

The film takes some time to unfold in the beginning with some rather unwanted fights and a song sequence but quickly builds up on the intrigue factor. The first half of the film is short when compared to the latter. The mystery and the uplifting screenplay in the second half will keep you engrossed. There is a scene where the philosophy of Karma: "What goes around, comes around" is showcased brilliantly and will definitely touch your heart!

The cinematography is haunting and plays an important part in giving the look and feel to the movie. The editing is decently done. The background score and music is good, although the songs could have been better.

Kishore, having done several roles as a cop, stands out as usual. Arjun Yogesh steals everybody's hearts with his realistic performance. Mayuri Kyatari has acted well but she could have done better in the pub scene. Girija Lokesh also steals your heart with her excellent display of emotions. Pramod Shetty, Priyamani & Niranjan Deshpande have played their characters well.

To sum it up, this film indeed stays true to most of its promised aspects with a sly narrative and though there are some shortfalls, it makes for a good one-time watch!

Promising
kvinpen12 April 2020
Promising movie. Starts very well. Mystery suspense thriller movie goes around a small shade of horror. Overall story screeplay acting suspense every is good. If some more improvement would have done the it would have been very good movie. But still its a promising not disappointing suspense thriller movie.

Plus story acting especially Kishore suspense

minus Priyamani usage not so logically concluded

Enjoyable Thriller
kharisha18 June 2021
Good thriller with multiple twists, Kishore does his job. Priyamani & Mayuri done their part.

Niranjan looks to be promising, Pramod shetty is also good actor, but not much of the scope in this movie.

Over all good movie worth watchable.

Story and confusion shown are very good 👍
kirthiraj5 January 2021
Everything was going right way from first half. Director should have let audience think what had happened in real with help of clues instead narrating a story at end and crime diary scene from news 18 was not required seems it was put to drag few minutes in movie as it was irrelevant .Nice story telling and direction 👌👌

Amateur screenplay & storyline
rajneeshaiyer29 December 2022
2 stars are for the decent direction of the flick. The storyline is all based on conjecture than being a thriller. It's more an amateurish attempt at creating a thriller. Could have done much better. The plot shows that the writer and crews have been dedicated with a passion but they all come up short thanks to the loose storyline.

Too much cooinidence in the plot, it's like desperate attempt at writing a thriller more out of a dream than a real plot. Investigation isn't a word that can be used here as it's all conjecture, leave alone nothing here will ever hold up in court even on circumstantial grounds (and I am not talking of real life courts but bolly/tollywood style courts in the flicks)

Good Movie. Everybody acted very well in the movie. BGM could have been better. The movie somewhat lagged at 1st half. The movie was so interesting and thrilling at 2nd half. Many characters in the movie had no ending that was the main disadvantage of movie. They were not given more importance. Good Movie.

Misleading Investigate drams
s1d33p21 September 2021
So all those who have rated this 7 and above, Absolutely have no idea if they know what a good thriller is.

The director takes so many cinematic liberties that and the investigation itself is so shoddy that initial mystery and the eventual reveal makes n It very less satisfying.

The movie starts of with 3 people dying( not the core mystery by the way) and later the same scene recreated with additional info has only two people dying.

The core concept was good but the narrative and the way things unfold makes you feel as to why you invested 2 hours on this movie.

Priyamani is wasted.

Its too tangled to untie
merrilanil1 September 2020
You have to appreciate the cunningness of the basic plot. The underlying story is so twisted and intriguing that it really blows your mind. That is also what led to the downfall of the movie for me. The core story perhaps needed a different type of treatment to keep it impactful.

Performances by Priyamani and Kishore is no doubt justifying but then you could feel that the camera is rolling after an intended scene and the actors on the screen doesn't have a clue about what to do in that time lapse. There are scenes where you could painfully watch this confusion happening

The execution was were the movie couldn't perform. The story required a different technique perhaps and this could have been a massive brain exploding thriller ride.

Somewhere around a bit casual approach towards the narration kind of takes away the full glory. Having said that it isn't to say the movie is bad. Just that a bit of more keen and smart narration and execution of the story could have simply made this a powerful one

Conclusion : It is definitely a one time watch but you have to hold on patiently when the narration takes a dive down only to wait for it all to wrap up quickly

Suspense thriller
uppishiva49 May 2020
One of the best crime, suspense thriller movie. Songs seems unnecessary. Screenplay is best. Mayuri voice is stylish which was not necessary for the role. Niranjan Deshpande acted well. Finally 'Nanna Prakara' best thriller movie.

Interesting watch!
srika-2428521 December 2021
Very good attempt at making a different film. I liked the three layered screenplay. Director nailed it. Artists have done their job. Priyamani has a limited role, but an important one. Kishore is at his best as usual.
