If after watching this one you are wondering why the film was called @Narthanashala when the only reference to the classic film was that the lead was forced to act as an effeminate person, then you must have brought your brains along and are trying to use them. The makers of this film encourage neither of them. Still, we are so used to these oddball comedies that we can still indulge the makers if there is something in them to make us actually laugh. Unfortunately, Srinivas Chakravarthy’s @Narthanasala doesn’t have anything in it to make its audiences excuse its flaws.
