Naa Saami Ranga could be a respectable affair, if not memorable, for many who haven’t seen the unique. Maybe the purpose of the unique was to weave a story across the everydayness of its fundamental folks. The movie’s main man was a brooding and weak character, searching for love and being loyal to his family members.

Nagarjuna does his greatest to a ‘massy’ position. An impending doom loomed giant over the protagonist within the authentic film. However, in a templated ‘masala’ movie, will the hero die? My goodness gracious, no!
