Nagabharanam

Lead Cast: Visnhuvardhan, Diganth, Ramya

Other Cast: Sai Kumar, Rajesh Vivek, Darshan, Sadhu Kokila, Amit Tiwari and others

Music Director: Gurukiran

Director: Kodi Ramakrishna

Producers: Sajid Qureshi, Sohail Ansari, Dhaval Gada

Release Date: 14 October 2016

Kodi Ramakrishna introduced the Telugu and South Indian audience to the world of visual effects with Ammoru. He has also scored a massive hit with Arundhati which established Anushka as a leading lady in Tollywood. Both these films are written well and the stories were narrated brilliantly which were complemented by graphics.  Nagabharanam also has a very good story but lacks proper treatment especially in the important junctures which makes the film fall short of the previous ones. But Kodi Ramakrishna enthralls the audience with his graphic sequences especially the fight sequences of Sai Kumar and character of Vishnuvardhan in the climax which definitely deserve a watch.
