Story

‘Nenu Naa Raakshasi’, the title created lot of buzz before it finally hit the screen. Puri Jagannath chose a sensitive script which is based on suicides. Rana and Ileana paired for the first time in this different love story.
Movie opens with Surya watching Sravya (Ileana ) suicide on You Tube.
Abhi (Rana), a cold blooded killer by profession kills baddies to earn money for his ailing mother. Meenakshi( Ileana), a waitress by profession shoots suicide videos and uploads on  You Tube anonymously. They bump into each other and it is love at first sight for Abhi. But, there is no reciprocation from Meenakshi.Meanwhile Police are after Meenakshi for anonymously uploading the suicide videos on You Tube.
Abhi decides to commit suicide after his ailing mother passes away contacts Meenakshi to shoot his suicide. Abhi changes his mind after seeing Meenakshi and express his love and proposes. At the same time, Meenakshi reveals a shocking truth that she is going to commit suicide after 15 days.
Abhi convinces her to stay with him for next 15 days and fly to Venice to escape from Police and baddie Ratna.
Is there any relationship exists between Sravya and Meenakshi? Why Ileana shooting the suicide videos and wants to commit suicide? Why Ratna is chasing Abhi? What will happen to their love story? To know all these watch the movie in theater.
Performance

Rana should be appreciated for experimenting in his early stages of career. His performance in the movie is good and fit well in the role. Still there are some areas where he needs fine tuning. We don’t get to see his dancing skills in the movie.
Ileana is terrific and it is in acting. She is known for her glamour show, but it is her performance deserves appreciation. Subba Raju is great in inspector role. Abhimanyu Singh gave a stellar performance.
Surya, Baby Siri acted well. Ali and Mumath Khan comedy track is useless. Kota appeared in guest role.
Technical

Director Puri Jagannath infused enough curiosity with a unique title.  That is the best he could with the movie. He totally lost his grip as the movie progresses. First half of the movie is OK, but  second half is head banger. Screenplay in the second half is big letdown.
Music by Vishwa and Rahman is good. Re Recording by Anoop Ruben is excellent. Cinematography by Amol Rathod is top class.  Action scenes are well composed.
Analysis

‘Nenu Naa Rakshasi’ is targeted for a set of genre who likes romantic thrillers.  Unfortunately, NNR will not be liked by them too. The movie starts on promising .Movie script and screenplay is good in first half. Puri might have lost his script or his mind in second half. He stretched the movie beyond the bearable limits with stupid screen play. The script also became very weak in second half.
Puri might have thought two three different climaxes for the movie and finalized one to please the audience. The climax lost its impact if there is any. Puri should have avoided the Ali-Mumaith Khan comedy track. One doesn’t understand why there should be a cheap comedy track if you are targeting a specific section of audience.
Finally, NNR would have been a better movie had Puri restricted the movie to 90 minutes.  First half plus ten minutes into the second half and climax would have fit in 90 minutes. There are no commercial elements and entertaining values in the movie.  It will be very tough for the movie to survive at the box office.
