Nenokkadine Movie Story
Gautham is a schizophrenic[a] rock musician who is missing 25% of his grey matter. He hallucinates a mysterious person he believes is one of the three murderers of his parents. As a child, Gautham was convinced that he was an orphan and assumes that his parents are dead; he does not remember their names or what they looked like. At one of his concerts, Gautham sees one of the three men and chases him. Sameera, a journalist at the concert, films Gautham fighting his imaginary opponent. Gautham surrenders to the police after “killing” the man, confessing that he killed three men: one in Belfast, one in Pune and one just now in Hyderabad. He is released from custody after Sameera broadcasts the video on television.
According to the psychiatrist, if Gautham can hallucinate a person other than the three men, he can be treated. Gautham goes to Goa on vacation. Sameera stalks him, convincing him that two people are stalking him: a journalist who wants to interview him (imaginary), and a person claiming to be his fan (real). Gautham begins to fall in love with Sameera. He saves her from a group of people trying to murder her; on an isolated island together, Gautham learns the truth behind the fourth imaginary person and writes Sameera off as a disturbed journalist. By the time he learns about Sameera’s intentions, she has left for Hyderabad; Gautham pursues her. In Hyderabad, Gautham accidentally spoils Sameera’s birthday plans, infuriating her.
Nenokkadine Movie Review
This movie may not be enjoyable if you’re overly critical of the plot, fixated on logic, or have strict standards regarding real-life probabilities. As a fan of Mahesh Babu, I found it enjoyable, even if it didn’t quite meet my high expectations. Overall, it’s a good watch—more of a family entertainer—highlighted by Mahesh Babu’s excellent performance. It was also heartwarming to see his son, little Gautam, portraying the childhood version of the protagonist.
