Analysis:

The story chosen by director Surya Vantipalli has a strong message, and the way he makes it memorable for everyone in the climax is commendable. He presented Amani in a new dimension. The solution shown about problems faced by women is hard hitting and thought provoking at the same time. The film would have been more impactful if the script is fine tuned and more engaging.

Vinod Kumar’s songs are good. Especially the songs sung by RP Patnaik and Sunitha are heartfelt. But he fails to elevate the emotions with the background music. The cinematography work is decent, but budget issues are visible.

Overall, “Naari” is a hard-hitting experience that addresses a serious topic affecting women. Amani’s performance and the strong message make it a commendable film.

Rating: 3/5

Bottomline: A Hard-Hitting Experience
