“Your invitation to witness Nanna, Mahi and Yashna’s story filled with love and magic is here. #HiNanna is now streaming on Netflix, in Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada and Hindi,” Netflix posted while announcing its OTT premiere. Besides the star cast, the performances and the execution, Hesham Abdul Wahab’s album was one of the major crowd-pullers for the feel-good film.
In a nutshell, the story revolves around a celebrity photographer Viraj and the highs and lows in his love and marriage life besides his equation with his daughter Mahi. Hi Nanna significantly unfolds across three regions - Mumbai, Coonoor and Goa. Despite dealing with a predictable premise and familiar situations, the film benefited with its earnest treatment.
Sanu John Varughese, who cranked the camera in Nani’s films like Shyam Singha Roy and Jersey, is the cinematographer. Praveen Anthony is the editor. Actor Dhruv Vikram also crooned for a song in Hi Nanna - Odiyamma - in Tamil and Telugu, alongside Chinmayi Sripada and Shruti Haasan.
