STORY :
Kids have a different world and they are built in our universe. It seems like young children are always safe when their parents are close by. But this is not the same mother's father, you have got to see a child's condition as soon as you know that you are adopted. Nal film also shows the story of a small child going through such a situation. Although we have heard this story many times, it is very different from this movie.
Chaita (Shrinivas Pokale) lives in a small village with his father ( Nagraj Manchule) father ( Nagraj Manjule ) and grandmother. He is a huge fan of his mother, father, grandmother. His family is his world. Making fun with the village children, playing in the river is one of his favorite activities ... Like a child, he lives with his family, friends with his friends. But one day he comes to his house with a mama (ohm). He has never seen this case. It is learned from the maternal uncle that his mother is not his true parents, but after knowing that he has adopted him, director Sudhakar Reddy has very well demonstrated what his mind is like.
PipeThe film's location and cinematography are so wonderful that watching this movie is really fun to watch. Although initially the film seems a bit slow, the film then succeeds in hitting the audience. All the actors have acted very lightly in the film. Srinivas, Devika, Nagraj, all have performed their roles aptly. Nirbhas Bhav on Srinivas's face will win the mind of the audience. In many scenes, even though Devika has no dialogue, her acting, through gesture, is wonderful. All the characters in the film are very well presented. Jake Do Na Va is so good to listen to this song. Not sure when watching the movie that Sudhakar is the first time to watch. Only some scenes seem to be coming back to the film. Also, the film is a bit slow to move to the beginning and to the end. The film's dialogues are also good. At the end of the film, the director has unified the whole thing and has not given any meaning to the film without any dialogue. It is a little appreciated for the director to do so. This is the end of the mind.
Naal Review:
There is a sense of longing that prevails through most of the film. A longing to know more; a longing for answers. It is this longing that Naal’s central character, Chaitanya (Shrinivas Pokale), experiences when he learns about a hidden truth about his life. The revelation by Chaitya’s maternal uncle (Om Bhutkar) sends the kid’s life haywire and creates a distance between him and his mother (Devika Daftardar), who is unable to understand the reason behind Chaitya’s changing behaviour.
Frankly, the trailer of Naal didn’t seem gripping despite a glimpse of the beautiful camerawork by Sudhakar Reddy Yakkanti (also the film’s director). However, the film is a beautiful piece of work, mostly because of an emotional story and performances. Also, speaking of performances, there hasn’t been a more genuine portrayal by a kid in a lead role as that of Shrinivas’. The innocence that he brings to the film is something one can’t learn with any amount of practice; it’s innate. Nagraj Manjule and Devika Daftardar in the roles of the kid’s parents are brilliant as well. While Nagraj, who has also penned the dialogues of the film, has a limited role, he brings out the best of it. His reserved performance is in stark contrast to his last acting outing in The Silence. As for Devika, there is no flaw in her outstanding portrayal of a caring mother. She gets every expression right. You smile with her and feel her angst when she is concerned about her son.
Sudhakar’s debut as a director is a well-executed film that connects with the viewer on an emotional level. There are multiple scenes that stand out but the one involving the buffalo and her calf remains with you because of the way it relates to the human aspect of the story.
Naal’s graph goes up and down with Chaitya’s state of mind and has the desired effect. On the flipside, the film takes its time to progress, thereby making the relatively short running time look stretched. Barring this there’s hardly anything else that can keep you away from watching this one.

Director Nagraj Manjule is known for his strong and intense films in Marathi. One of the films 'Fandri', 'Sarat', was directed by Nagraj. After this movie, now they are making their debut in production. Nagraj is making an upcoming Marathi movie 'Nal'. He also shared a teaser while announcing the film on social media. However, this teaser is believed to be a copy of the view in a Hollywood video.
Ruichi B is flying in the mid-minute teaser of 'Nal' movie. It flies in the hands of a small child who is swimming in the river. The beginning of the film of the American romantic drama 'Forest Gump' is similar to that. The plane flying in the air comes to the feet of a person. There is a lot of similarity in the beginning of 'Nal' teaser and 'Forrest Gump'. Therefore, the view in the teaser is said to be a copy of the view in this hollywood format. What is the story of this film is still in the bouquet.
