Aravinda Sametha Veera Raghava (Zee5)
Aravinda Sametha Veera Raghava is an action-drama film. It revolves around a young man who engages in a violent fight with a henchman of the rival village. Following the dispute, his life changes drastically, encouraging him to move to Hyderabad. By doing so, he hopes to end the 30-year-long feud between the two villages and invoke peace. Naveen essays the role of Bala Reddy, the antagonist's son, whose fate depends on the side he chooses to be on – Good vs Evil.
If you love an action-packed crime thriller, Evaru starring Naveen Chandra and Regina Cassandra should be on your watchlist. The film is an adaptation of the classic Spanish movie The Invisible Guest. Naveen plays DSP Ashok Krishna – a man murdered by a woman he allegedly raped. But the case is plagued by several issues such as self-defence, corruption and anarchy. The film is an edge of the seat thriller with sharp turns at every corner.
Super Over is yet another gem of a crime thriller. It involves suspense, action, and a series of unexpected twists that will leave you stunned. In the movie, Naveen plays the role of the protagonist Kaasi who finds himself in a favourable situation when he and his friends win a cricket bet. The bet soon lands Kaasi and his friends in the middle of a messy conundrum, leading to unexpected plot twists.
Starring Salony Luthra and Naveen Chandra in titular roles, Bhanumathi & Ramakrishna is a light-hearted romantic comedy and a family drama for all ages. It portrays the love story of two individuals from contrasting worlds, giving viewers a glimpse into their lives and the challenges in their relationship. Naveen's Ramakrishna is a hardworking individual who struggles to articulate in English fluently but wins you (and Bhanumati) over with his signature charm.
Ardha Shatabdham is a power-packed action thriller based on the sensitive theme of casteism in India. It features Naveen in the role of Senior Inspector Ranjith, a young man who falls in love with a Naxalite's daughter. For Ranjith, it is now a case of duty over heart, complicated by the entire macrocosm of village folk engulfed in quarrels and disputes. Ranjith must resolve the fights and do right by his people and his love.
Is there anything such as too much Naveen Chandra? No, there is not. Happy Binging!
