Idealism is charming as long as it doesn't let naivete dilute it. Nagaram Nidra Potunna Vela is one of those "activist" films that wants to showcase the muck in society and send out a loud call for action. While it is undeniably a film with both a purpose and a large heart, it allows itself to sink into mediocrity, and then sinks further in.
It is the kind of flick, which, after spending 2.5 hours analyzing the complex web of corruption ingrained in our political system, wraps it up all with a scene that shows a mob killing the politicians with machetes and swords.
