Another one, ‘iharshchaudhary’ commented, “Nayyi Navelli review! 🎬✨ Yami Gautam Dhar gives a stellar performance, effortlessly walking that delicious tightrope between a sweet newlywed and a mysterious, spooky enigma. The first half is an absolute riot, packed with chaotic North Indian joint-family dynamics and clever local folklore humour that hits all the right notes. Technically, it’s a treat too: Rishi Punjabi’s lighting brilliantly contrasts vibrant domestic spaces with moody, atmospheric shadows, perfectly paired with G.V. Prakash’s eerie, immersive score. While the ambitious third act gets a bit heavy, the fun, scares, and great lead performances make it a solid weekend watch!! 🍿👻”

Comedy works in parts; horror not much. Good BGM, weak direction.”

One of the users, ‘SumitkadeI’ commented, “#NayyiNavelli REVIEW | YAMI GAUTAM SHOW ALL THE WAY. Rating - ⭐️⭐️⭐️🌟 ( 3.5 Stars) A wickedly entertaining blend of comedy, mythology and mystery ! #YamiGautam carries the entire film on her shoulders. She is equally good at comedy and intense scenes, making you laugh one moment and leaving you amazed the next. What a fantastic performance while the fascinating #Raavan connection and the #Dussehra backdrop elevates the impact . Director #BalajiMohan brings the imaginative premise to life with conviction, while writers #HimanshuSharma and #DivyNidhiSharma deserve credit for their inventive storytelling. The humour keeps you engaged [ There are multiple hilarious scenes which will bring the house down ].  Climax of the film is the major highlight, it delivers a rousing mix of devotion, spectacle and action. Overall Nayyi Navelli has a  refreshing concept that delivers ample entertainment, it should be enjoyed with entire family this durga puja weekend. #NayyiNavelliReview.”
