The film Nayyi Navelli, starring Yami Gautam, received a mixed review. With a rating of 2 stars, the movie aimed to be a fantasy family entertainer. Yami Gautam, known for her National Award-winning performances, was expected to deliver a good film. However, the trailer had promised a fantasy family entertainer, and the audience was excited about seeing it. Unfortunately, the film failed to entertain as expected.
The movie revolves around Mohini (Yami Gautam), who marries Raja (Adinath Kothare), but her brother-in-law Bantu (Anurag Thakur) suspects her of being a daayan. The story is written by Himanshu Sharma and directed by Balaji Mohan, who attempted to blend fantasy, mythology, action, and comedy. However, the first half of the film was dull, with a screenplay, dialogues, and direction that were not up to the mark.
Despite a few humorous moments, the film struggled to deliver the laughs expected. The dramatic route taken before the interval added some interest, but it still didn't provide the entertainment anticipated. Although the concept of Nayyi Navelli was promising, the execution failed to translate it into an engaging film. The Ramayana angle, which could have been a strong point, was not executed well on screen.
Yami Gautam looked beautiful and excelled in dramatic and action scenes. Adinath Kothare performed well, especially with his UP accent, while Anurag Thakur brought laughter with his performance. Supporting actors also delivered decent performances. Jacqueline Fernandez's cameo was amusing as well. However, the weak screenplay and underwhelming narration made Nayyi Navelli a below-average watch.
