📰 Critic Reviews
On the whole, Neethone Nenu is a tedious drama despite okay performances from the lead actors. The outdated concept, lack of freshness in the story, and over-dramatic scenes make it a forgettable movie. It’s advisable to explore alternative options for your weekend entertainment.
On the whole, Neetho is a rom-com that fails to amuse. The lead pair’s performances and a few moments are its strengths, but all that is marred by patience testing narrative and lengthy runtime. You can skip this film.
