Nee Venunda Chellam

Rediff.com wrote "When you have 'Jithan' Ramesh, Gajala and Namitha in the star cast, you can expect nothing but a potboiler like Nee venunda Chellam. However, except for Gajala and Thilakan, the actors all compete for a Most Wooden Performance award, with Ramesh clearly emerging as the winner".^[3] Sify wrote "There is nothing new in the story and director L.Venkatesan makes it too long at 2 hours 35 min, while the film loses its steam in 15 minutes after the first scene!".^[4] Chennai Online wrote "In Nee Venunda Chellam, a fairly engaging entertainer, the director has balanced the five main characters judiciously, giving each the importance and the footage it deserved. With the focus shifting to each character at different stages of the plot, each actor gets his or her space to perform. A more taut screenplay and a tighter grip on the narration would have turned the film into a better one".^[5]
