Aadhi Sai Kumar’s
latest flick, Next Nuvve has raised expectations among the audience with its
trailer and first look posters. TV actor Prabhakar has turned director with
this film which has hit the screens today. Let’s see how it is.
Story:-
Karthi(Aadhi Sai Kumar), who is deeply
struck by financial issues gets to know that his father(Posani) has left a
resort for him. In order to make things meet, Karthi goes to his village and
reopens the resort. From day one, Karthi notices drastic changes in the resort
as weird things start creeping up most of the time. What kind of changes did he
notice? and What is the main reason behind these changes? To know this, you
have to watch the film in theaters.
Plus Points:
Hero Aadhi Saikumar’s performance is
decent in parts. Heroine Vaibhavi did an okay job as hero’s girlfriend and her
performance in horror scenes is pretty decent.
Noted actor Brahmaji is undoubtedly a
major plus for the film. His comedy timing and typical one-liners evoke a few
laughs here and there. Anchor Rashmi Gautam performed decently in her limited screen
presence.
Minus
Points:
One of the major minus points of the film
is it’s weak and abrupt storyline. Prabhakar, who debuted as a director with
this film has failed in narrating the film quite engagingly. Though Aadhi gave
a decent performance, his character was not elevated properly which may not
appeal to a larger section of the audience.
There are many silly and illogic scenes
which will surely test the patience of the audience to no extent. Yet another
drawback is that the director failed to give a clarity on major topics like why
the ghost stays in the resort over the years and what is the hidden story
behind it.
Verdict:
On the whole, Next Nuvve is yet another
routine horror comedy which falls short of expectations. Though Brahmaji and
Raghu Babu’s comedy entertain in parts, the flat and abrupt proceedings may not
appeal to a larger session of the audience. Those who like horror comedies and
desperately want to watch a film this weekend, you can try this film out but go
in with no expectations at all.
