ETimes review praises performances
ETimes appreciated the performances of the lead cast while pointing out shortcomings in the film’s visual effects, especially during the latter half.The review reads, “Visually, Nagabandham is a mixed bag. While the production design and scale impress initially, the visual effects steadily lose quality as the film progresses. By the climax the heavy reliance on CGI becomes more distracting than immersive, taking away from the spectacle the film aims to deliver. The performances are among the film’s stronger aspects. Virat Karrna delivers a convincing performance as Rudra, while Nabha Natesh makes the most of her role with confidence and screen presence. Jagapathi Babu and Mahesh Manjrekar command attention despite their limited screen time, adding weight whenever they appear.”
