Reception

A critic from The Hindu wrote "ROCKLINE PRODUCTION’S yet another re- make, “Naanu Nanna Hendtheeru” has all the trappings such as exotic foreign locales, a surfeit of songs and dances, and a story full of drama that are so identifiable with its earlier productions. But the only impression the film leaves behind is that of the beautiful snow covered expanse of the Himalayas and that of colourful Malaysia, a far-fetched story, with its retrograde ideas on women and an inexpressive Ravichandran being the major cause for the film falling fiat".
