OUR RATING

What is “Nenu Naa Friends” about?
Nenu Na Friends is a film that tells few college tales. Three to four different pairs and their stories and problems constitute the film with a prolonged message in the end about not wasting one’s youth.

How is Sandeep performance?
There is nothing much that can be written about anyone in the film with respect to performance leave alone the hero. To say that he is bad would be an understatement.

Direction by G.S.Rao?
The film is absolutely cringe worthy and big part of the reason is that of the direction. Its pathetic to put it politely. Since he is also credited with screenplay, his part in the way the film has turned out only increases. Not even a scene creates an impact, though even in the mess he has created, he had scope for it.

Anjana, Vishnu Priya and other artists performance?
There are the number of characters in the film and heroine is one among them. She has a better role clearly when compared to the others but unfortunately, her lack of acting skills doesn’t make it stand out. The rest are bits and pieces characters which act more like fillers throughout the duration of the film and in the end deliver a message.

How is Chinni Charan’s Music and other departments ?
Music by Chinni Charan is poor and so is the background score which mostly consists of sampled sources. Cinematography is extremely patchy and the editing is poor making the film a technical mess.

Highlights?
Nothing

Drawbacks?
Story
Screenplay
Direction
Acting

What about the box office performance of the film?
The films fate at box office is a foregone conclusion which need not be told. The only expectation was that could a positive word of mouth generate for this product. We guess that’s a bit too much to ask.

Did I enjoy it?
No

Will you recommend it?
No
