Nenu Naa Rakshasi
Starring: Rana, Ileana, Subba Raju, Ali, Abhimanyu Singh and others
Director: Puri Jagannath
Music: Vishwa and Rehman
Director Puri Jagannath has been struggling to register a hit for some time now. This time he close to make a film on the subject of suicides. Let us see how far Puri has succeeded in his attempt to come up with a winner.
Story:
Meenakshi (Ileana) works in a coffee shop. She has a secret life and this is revealed as the film progress.
Abhimanyu (Rana) is a professional killer. Why he has turned into a professional killer is revealed in a flashback. Nagineedu’s son Abhi wants Rana, an amateur shooter to kill a politican. As Rana’s father refuses to allow his son to do this, he is killed. Rana’s mother too is shot by Abhimanyu Singh, son of Nagineeedu. However, she does not die but goes into a coma.
Rana turns into a professional killer in order to pay for the medical expenses of his mother. Rana’s mother dies after three years without ever coming out of coma.
Meenakshi wants to die as she is has no faith in men and love. Her twin sister is forced to commit suicide after her lover ditches her. Meenakshi’s father dies of a heart attack unable to bar the insult of his daughter being branded a prostitute by her very lover.
Abhi falls in love wih Meenakshi at first sight. She however does not reciprocate his love. Meenakshi is involved in a shady operation. She shoots people who are commiting suicd and then uploads the video on YouTube.
All those who want to commit suicide contact her and ask her to shoot them committing suicide and upload it on YouTube. The police are on the lookout for the person who is doing all this.
Abhi also tries to commit suicide as his mother has dies after being in coma for three years. He gets in touch with the person who shoots this on her video camera. Abhi stabs himself while the woman is capturing the act on video. Abhi is shocked to learn that she is none other than Meenakshi.
Now Abhi does not want to die and he begs her to rush him to a hospital. She refuses initially saying that her job is only to shot him while he is dying and not to save him. She however informs the ambulance and Abhi is saved.
The bad guy Abhimanyu Singh is now after Abhi as he has killed his brother and his father. Meenakshi is on the run from the police as they are out to arrest her for shooting and uploading suicide videos on the net.
Abhi and Meenakshi go to Venice in order to escape from the police and the rowdy respectively. Meenakshi sets a 15-day deadline to Abhi saying that she will commit suicide on the 16th day.
Abhi contnes to profess his love to her but she does not relent on her decision to commit suicide. The rest of the film is whether she commits suicide or she changes her mind and they both live together happily.
Performance:
Rana comes up with a good performance. He is quite convincing in his role as a professional killer. He however has to improve his acting skills as he manages the film with just a few expressions.
Ileana is her usual self. Filling the role of glamour heroine. She does as per the demand of the script.
Subba Raju is neat as a police officer. Abhimanyu Singh is perfect for the role of a cruel gangster. Kota appears briefly in a guest role. Ali tries some comedy with Mumaith but it is not very funny. Mumaith has done an item song in the film but it is not in the same class that she is so well known for.
Analysis:
Puri Jagannath has chosen a very big and complex subject – sucide for his film. He tries to analyze why people commit suicide and what is the factor that drives them. He gives some examples. However, Puri dilutes the serious subject with some unnecessary side tracks.
The comedy borders on vulgarity. There are many dialogues in the film that are vulgar. The explicitly adult theme and content and the slow pace of narration minus some badly needed entertainment makes the film a bit difficult to sit rhrough.
Verdict:
Nenu Naa Rakshashi has a very limited appeal. The film is a strict no, no for women and family audiences. Even the multiplex audience may not fully understand or enjoy the film. The film has too much vulgarity for audiences and even teenagers may not appreciate the film fully. The fate of the film now rests fully on the 18-22 audience.
Rating: 2/5
