Reviews

Critics liked the star and the songs more than the script. Jeevi of Idlebrain named Nagarjuna and Keeravani’s music as the film’s plus points and its “incoherent script and loose screenplay” as the main drawback. Mithun Verma of Full Hyderabad called it “completely a commercial venture”, with something for every section of the audience but no way of making the parts fit together. Rakesh P. of Deccan Herald wrote that it “has all the ingredients” but is let down by its execution and a familiar plot. Sify was also unimpressed.

Box office

Wikipedia describes Nenunnanu as a commercial blockbuster, but the article gives no source or figures for that, so we report it as Wikipedia’s claim.
