Impressive in Parts

NRP has a solid storyline with a twist at the end that not everybody can see coming. But it somehow ends up as a product that delivers little compared to what it had promised. The movie tends to drag at places and a crisper screenplay should have helped. The mandatory crude item number does no good ...(more)

It is well-worn, formulaic fare

Among the positives, the director brings in a character Jeeva (Nakul) who lives in Himachal Pradesh, speaks Hindi and his link with Raja, which forms the suspense.

Melodramatic cliches

Rajkumar, who relies on melodramatic cliches to sail through the emotional moments, overdoes them at times. In the scene when Reema is about to propose to Raja, Valli literally comes in between them. But he doesn't stop there and goes for a shot of Valli (unknowingly) stepping on the rose meant for ...(more)
