Nari Nari Naduma Murari Movie Review

New Delhi, january 15, 2026: Released as a festive treat on January 14, 2026, Nari Nari Naduma Murari marks the return of Sharwanand to his home turf: clean, family-oriented comedy. Directed by Ram Abbaraju—who previously tasted success with Samajavaragamana—this film leans heavily on situational humor and a quirky conflict to entertain the Sankranthi crowds.

The Story: A Marriage Caught in a Muddle

The film follows Gautham (Sharwanand), a relaxed architect in love with Nithya (Sakshi Vaidya). Just as their wedding seems set, Nithya’s father (Sampath Raj) places a strange condition: the marriage must happen at a registrar’s office. This simple request sends Gautham into a panic due to a hidden “conflict of interest” from his past involving Dia (Samyuktha Menon). What follows is a chaotic series of lies, cover-ups, and hilarious confrontations as Gautham tries to balance his current love with his past secrets.

What’s Good: Highlights of the Film

• Sharwanand’s Comic Timing: After a string of serious roles, Sharwa is back in a “chilled-out” avatar. His ease with dialogue delivery and self-deprecating humor reminds audiences why he is a Sankranthi favorite.
• The Comedy Ensemble: The film is a goldmine for comedy lovers. Naresh, playing Gautham’s father who finds love at 60, is the undisputed showstealer. His “Version 3.0” performance is packed with sharp satire. Supporting acts by Satya (as an auto driver), Vennela Kishore, and Sunil ensure that there is rarely a dull moment.
• Fresh Writing: Much like the director’s previous work, the film relies on a unique “USP” (Unique Selling Point) related to the registrar office conflict. The dialogues are witty, avoiding forced rhyming in favor of natural, situational laughs.
• Festive Packaging: With bright visuals, scenic backdrops (including a Kerala schedule), and a clean narrative, it is a “complete family film” that fits the holiday spirit perfectly.

What’s Bad: The Shortcomings

• Predictable Second Half: While the first half moves at a breezy pace, the second half feels slightly repetitive as the plot finds multiple ways to delay the inevitable climax.
• Weak Music: Despite Vishal Chandrasekhar (of Sita Ramam fame) being the composer, the songs are largely forgettable. While they don’t hinder the story, they don’t elevate it either.
• Underutilized Talent: Some viewers felt that Sree Vishnu’s cameo and Satya’s role, while funny, were too brief. Additionally, the emotional depth of the female leads, Sakshi and Samyuktha, could have been fleshed out more to balance the heavy dose of comedy.

The Verdict: A Safe Festive Bet

Nari Nari Naduma Murari isn’t trying to reinvent the wheel. It is a lightweight, enjoyable rom-com that prioritizes laughs over logic. While the story is thin and the pacing occasionally wobbles, the powerhouse performances of Sharwanand and Naresh make it a winner for the 2026 Sankranthi season.
