“Kishtayya is an orphan, who is taken care of by Anjiu0026#39;s mother. They form a strong bond and after the motheru0026#39;s demise, the village head Peddayya protects them from loan shark Varadaraju. In return Kishtayya and Anji pledge their loyalty to Peddayya. Meanwhile Kishtayya is in love with Varalu but is unable to propose, though she too is in love with him. Things take a drastic turn where Varalu remains unmarried but in love with Kishtayya and Peddayyau0026#39;s youngest son is lusting after Varalu. What havoc does the bad son bring into their lives and how Kishtayya reacts, forms rest of the story.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis is a Malayalam remake, which itself was based on real events and Naa Saami Ranga gets the commercial aspects right but everything else is way too mechanical. The whole revenge story and the bad guy after the heroine as well as subplot involving two lovers facing opposition from the girlu0026#39;s family. The making itself is too outdated and the routine hero elevations doesnu0026#39;t help either. The age difference shows up making it hard to buy the love story of Kishtayya (Nagarjuna) and Varalu (Ashika). Allari Naresh as Anji does the usual.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe film especially in the second half started to test my patience as the writing lacked any sort of freshness. The filmu0026#39;s timeline goes through 3 decades and sadly, it doesnu0026#39;t feel that way. The music too was below par and so were the dialogues. Nagarjuna tries his best to save the film but the role itself poses no challenge to him. All the token characters given to the supporting cast, makes Naa Saami Ranga an overall dull watch and it barely entertains.”
