Nayyi Navelli Review: Yami Gautam's Horror-Comedy Receives Mixed Responses
Nayyi Navelli, directed by Balaji Mohan and starring Yami Gautam Dhar, is a supernatural horror-comedy set in Meerut. The story follows Mohini, a seemingly perfect daughter-in-law suspected by her brother-in-law of being a witch, leading to a family drama intertwined with mythology involving a powerful stone called Kaal Sheel. Critics praised Yami Gautam's performance and some comedic elements but widely noted the film's inconsistent screenplay, weak writing, and uneven blend of horror, comedy, and mythology. Audience reactions are mixed, with some appreciating the festive entertainment and others finding it confusing and tedious.
