As the title itself suggests that the film is happening in a city and something is going on in it, the same has been conveyed from the beginning itself. The film Nagaram starts off with a youngster (Shri) who lands up in Hyderabad with a lot of dreams to take up a job in an IT firm. On the other side, we are introduced to a happy-go-lucky youngster (Sundeep Kishan), who was in love with (Regina Cassandra) and is always ready to go to any extremes to win his love. To the same city, a taxi driver arrives to give better medical treatment to his son. All of a sudden, a kidnap in the city changes their lives, and all of them gets connected to each other. What happened after that forms the rest of the story.

Cast and Performances:

Sundeep Kishan has got the best role in the film, and he has given the finest performance in the movie. He is bold and vigorous and impressed the audiences.With this film, he is sure to make some market for his films in Tamil film industry. Regina Cassandra is good in the film, but she does not have anything big in the movie. Munishkanth with all his wacky one-liners is a master stroke and entertains in the film. Shri has got a righteous role in the film, and he was good as per the limitations of his character.

The realistic approach to the film is another big plus point. The film falls flat at certain times but on a whole, the film is going to be impressive for sure.
