The Performances

Venkatesh gives a cool and convincing performance in all the three roles. Anushka gives a credible performance. Kamilini is good. Richa, Shraddha Das and Poonam Kaur are ok. Sarath Babu and Avinash do justice to their roles. Brahmanandam does his laugh-inciting routine. All others keep their roles alive.

The Techniques

The story is well written and the narration value is enhanced by good presentation. The screenplay keeps the story-telling interesting to watch. The dialogues are reasonable. Music is good. Cinematography adds pep and verve to the narration. Background music is apt.

The Verdict

Nagavalli is not exactly a horror-thriller but a good entertainer with good performance by Venkatesh. The film does not seem to have the essential elements of a runaway success.
