'Neenallo Naanalle' is a romantic story made in an entertaining and spirited manner. It has lot of good elements like songs, good visuals, perfect cuttings and a healthy realistic comedy which elevates the quality of the film.


All the characters in the film are full of beans and zeal. It gives you an experience of a delightful viewing. The film is also packed with some fine performances by lead artists Dr.Vishnuvardhan, Rakshitha and Anirudhdh.


It is a feel good film and certainly the audience will feel elated when they come out of the theatre watching this competent entertainer. Though "Neenello Naanalle' is nicely made film, no one can deny that many sequences of the film have been lifted from Hindi films ''Maine Pyaar Kiya'', ''Pyaar Kiya to Darna Kya'' and Telugu Hit ''Nuvvosthaanante Nenoddantaana''. Many of the Kannada film producers have perfected the art of making films which may not look like a frame to frame copy of some non Kannada film, but a remix of several hit non Kannada films. "Neenello Naanalle' is just an addition to the list of such films.


However the film raises many laughs in the first half and is able to bring in a little bit of tears in your eyes in the second half. There is not much of story telling in the first half though it is full of enjoyable moments because of a fine blend of hilarious comedy, well choreographed songs.


The twists and turns in the film come out only in the second half when the tempo of the story telling also makes headway. Director Dinesh Babu who has time and again displayed his grip over the medium also succeeded in getting the best out of his artists and technicians.


After the interval the tempo of the story picks up and a neat narration makes the film still more interesting. Director Dinesh Babu has always shown that he has the knack of improvising from the original products and Neenello Naanalle just confirms this belief. He has been able to get the best out of artists like Anirudhdh and Rakshitha who have excelled in this film.


Santhosh is a happy go lucky youngster who lives with his parents in England. He comes along with his mother to India to attend a marriage function of his relative. He meets a simple village belle Siri during the pre marriage festivities and instantly falls for her. Siri who is a close friend of the bride also starts to like Santhosh. But Santhosh's mother has other plans and wants him to marry another girl from a rich family.


Santhosh's closeness with Siri is not liked by his mother and other relatives who humiliated Siri in front of his brother. Siri's brother is an innocent but hard working farmer who loves his sister to such an extent that Siri does not like to do anything that irks her brother.


Siri's brother challenges that Siri will not team up with Santhosh any more and returns to his village. Later a dejected but determined Santhosh comes to the village to plead with Siri's brother for agreeing to his desire to marry his sister. Siri's brother challenges Santhosh to prove his commitment for love and his desire to acclimatize to the village life. Finally, after several attempts Santhosh wins the battle.


Finally it would be known that Siri's brother has also helped him to get into the winning track. The challenge and Santhosh's battle to win Siri's hand comes only in the second half, but in the first half there is very little story element. What makes the first half proceedings so much interesting is that the comedy sequences and well shot and well composed songs are perfectly integrated.


Dr. Vishnuvardhan may have less footage than younger stars like Rakshitha and Anirudhdh, but he comes out with an extra ordinary performance. The character suits him well. The film has some competent performances from younger stars Anirudhdh and Rakshitha who have worked hard to prove their mettle.


All the other character artists have done their jobs perfe
