This is the film about three friends and their different love stories.

He falls in love with Archana (Yami), who is a neighbor of his. She is a great admirer of cricketer Vishnu and when Anand decides to express his love to Archana, he comes to know that she is in love with Vishnu.

2nd one: Raju (Prasad) is a violinist and comes to Hyderabad to pursue his career in film industry. He accidentally bumps into Rani (Ramya) whom he hates to the core. He feels that she brings bad luck to him. In one unavoidable situation they get married.

3rd one: Mahesh (Havish) dreams to become a famous male model. He breaks up with Madhavi (Sarayu) and she tries to teach him a lesson by pitching a gay Shailu (Haleem) against him. Mahesh’s life turns into a terrible mishap after that.

How all these stories end up is what this film is about.

Analysis:

Ravibabu is clear about the target audience for this film and he never tried to get away from that. He introduced the characters in a simple yet funny way and started to unfold their crazy/stupid love stories in an entertaining manner. Apart from stupidity there is also some sincerity in this comedy film and that angle is dealt well in the form of Ajay-Archana love story.

Despite being thoroughly entertaining the film does irritate a bit due to repetitive scenes and an overdose of adult (read gay) comedy. However, there are some truly hilarious scenes which will make you laugh like hell. First half is breezy and second half lags a bit in the middle. Climax is over the top but funny.

Nuvvila is a youthful film which will appeal to the target audience and enjoyed by the people who love to watch mindless comedies.

Plus Points : There is some terrific comedy in the movie. The first half especially has superb scenes involving all the main characters and the movie proceeds at a very lively pace. Among the male leads, the top marks go to Prasad and Havish. Both of them have superb comedy timing that is impressive for new comers. The scenes where Prasad tries to impress the famous music directors of Telugu Cinema are hilarious because of his inability to pronounce ‘Sa’.

There is a very humorous track between Havish and Haleem that has gay overtones. The comedy never goes overboard though and it is extremely tasteful. All three female leads score in this movie. Yami is just fantastic in the role of Archana and she is a girl to watch out for in future. Remya and Sarayu look good and turn in effective performances.

Ravibabu keeps making brief appearances throughout the movie as a Cop and he is extremely effective in bringing about a lot of laughs. His comedy timing is very good and it would be great if he makes more appearances in movies. Radha Kumari as the Bamma and Master Atulith are good in their brief roles.

Songs have been nicely integrated into the movie and they never break the flow of the narrative.

Minus Points : The second half moves along at a slightly sluggish pace in the middle and it has some excessively melodramatic and cliched moments. Some of the concepts shown in the movie like gay marriage, premarital sex and the father son relationships are a little radical for our society.

Ajay could have put in a more spirited performance as his histrionics lack energy.He is completely overshadowed by Prasad and Havish.

Technical Departments : The movie does not look and feel like a low budget film at all. Ravi Babu excelled in getting the comedy quotient right. Screenplay is mostly good except for a few moments in the second half. Cinematography is good. Music by Shekhar Chandra is top notch and goes well with the theme of the movie. Editing is decent. The opening titles are nice and innovative. Dialogues by Ravibabu are witty and sharp.

Performances:

Ravibabu’s biggest success in this film is getting the star cast right. Barring Radha Kumari and a couple of known faces, all others are newcomers and they did well to make the characters believable.

Prasad is a riot. He spells ‘sa’ as ‘la’ and all those scenes highlighting that weakness are good. Ramya complimented him well with a decent performance.

Havish is natural. His expressions and comedy timing are too good. Ajay is good but could’ve done better. His outburst in the climax scene didn’t come out as expected. On a whole he isn’t that bad.

Yami is beautiful and really angelic like the director portrayed her in the introduction scene. She is a very good actress too. Ravibabu is perfect. Rest of the cast did their best to keep up the spirit of the movie.

Technicalities:

Although Nuvvila was made on a shoestring budget, there isn’t any lack of quality. Cinematographer, art department did a very good job. Editing is neat. Music is fine. Songs are interlaced in the narrative and are good on ears too. Shekar Chandra’s background score is also good.

Ravibabu came up with another decent youthful comedy and proves that he is the best in business to pull off a film with completely unknown faces. His sense of humor is the USP of this film. Saying so, he should have toned down the A rated comedy a bit to make it appealing to all the classes.
