Analysis

Nenokkafine is on screen, Mahesh Babu one man show and off screen, Sukumar's one man show. Mahesh's erformance is outstanding especially in interval block. He has excelled in multishaded character with ease but this kind of over seriousness might be boring for normal audience confusing in many scenes unable to find, whether the story is running real or is it Mahesh Babu's illusion. Lower class and mass viewers may not understand this intelligent and innovative screenplay. Runtime is other big disadvantage. Though hard work of Mahesh Babu and Sukumar is seen, it is still confusing. Particularly, the dances of Mahesh Babu in Sayonara song is awesome. Action sequences of Peter Heins are as good as Hollywood.

Mahesh Babu son Gautam Krishna is other major asset. The young lad played quite well. He is next superstar to watch out in future. Kriti Sanon looked glamorous while performance is pale. Sukumar earlier made some psychological entertainers with enough comedy. This time, he failed to handle a star hero Mahesh Babu in Nenokkadine which is also a psychological thriller with zero commercial value. Sukku has chosen a wrong subject for Mahesh Babu, despite the film will bee bold lettered and underlined in Super star career.

Songs are not catchy and Devi Sri Prasad provided superb background score. Ratnavelu cinematography is exceptional. 14 Reels entertainment production values are marvelous. Tollywood audience are yet to reach this intellegence levels. Overall, Nenokkadine is a disappointment and commercially doubtful in all areas.

Movie Result: Flop
