    Slow, could have been more

    With such talented artists, this could have been so much better.

    Also, 'A-rated' doesn't mean 'crass'. Look at Game of Thrones, it had its share but the rest was brilliant too. You feel like taking a bath after watching one of these. Also, this language is used by everyone. Usually, there are categories, like in 'Breaking Bad' - Walter White Jr. Will not use foul language, but Jesse would - because of his upbringing, which makes sense.

    But in this, nope - everyone is in the 'A-rated' series, why not use it?

    Positives - Venkatesh with his original voice speaking in Hindi Negatives - Slow and dis-oriented.

    A Gripping and Suspenseful Tale of Family, Crime, and Redemption

    Rana Naidu is a Telugu-language crime drama series that premiered on Netflix. The series stars Rana Daggubati as Rana Naidu, a fixer who makes the problems of Mumbai's elite disappear at the snap of his fingers. When his father, Naga (played by Venkatesh Daggubati), is released from prison five years early, Rana's life takes a dramatic turn.

    The series is a loose adaptation of the American crime drama series Ray Donovan. However, Rana Naidu has its own unique flavor, thanks to the strong performances of its cast, led by Rana Daggubati. Daggubati is outstanding as Rana Naidu, bringing a complex mix of charisma, ruthlessness, and vulnerability to the role. Venkatesh Daggubati is also excellent as Naga, and the supporting cast is also very good.

    The series is well-paced and suspenseful, with plenty of twists and turns to keep viewers hooked. The action sequences are well-choreographed, and the violence is graphic but not gratuitous. The series also tackles some important social issues, such as corruption, misogyny, and violence against women.

    Overall, Rana Naidu is a well-made crime drama that is sure to please fans of the genre. The series is definitely worth a watch, especially for fans of Venkatesh Daggubati.

    Pros:

    • Strong performances by the cast, especially Venkatesh Daggubati
    • Well-paced and suspenseful
    • Graphic but not gratuitous violence
    • Tackles important social issues


    Cons:

    • Some of the dialogue is clunky
    • The series can be a bit over-the-top at times


    Overall:

    Rana Naidu is a well-made crime drama that is sure to please fans of the genre. The series is definitely worth a watch, especially for fans of Venkatesh Daggubati.

    ENTERTAINING!!!!!!

    Don't hesitate and give it a watch, I'm assuring you you'll not get bored but wanna aware it's filled with ,18+ contents (slangs, reference, nudity) not that much but still too much for Indian show but it's important for the character.

    And a great chemistry between Rana & Venkatesh must say and Surveen chawla looked good no doubt apart from that all other supporting characters are also performed well and one more thing it's good to see all the Tv actors, south actor & bollywood actors together in a series and last but not the least I seriously loved the accent of venkatesh.

    Thanks !!!!! Happy binging.

    Solid cast and acting But............

    Pros : From starting to end, Its gripped storyline along with solid cast and acting. All roles are perfect and done justice with their respective screen time. Full marks to Ranna and Venkat for giving badass performance.

    Cons : They can deal better with foundation of series where unnecessary put sexuality and minor sexual harassment (which is quite old now). Made benchmark to show higher class in such way which sometimes looks annoying and old fashion.

    Netflix trying their best for Indian audiences. Its thrilling series which could be good time pass.

    Rest is fine if you are not watching with family.

    Amazing series!! Must watch!

    Rana Daggubati garu and Venky mama are absolutely fantastic as Rana Naidu and Naga Naidu respectively!! Loved seeing them together! Really enjoyed hearing them speaking in Hindi.

    Surveen Chawla is smoking hot and stunning as the wife of Rana Naidu! She's really great in her role.

    Aditya Menon garu is freaking good, have seen him in many Telugu films and he's a great actor! He should do Hindi films as well.

    Never seen Ray Donovan but very well adapted for Indian audiences. The nudity, sex scenes and cuss words are needed as it's what the script wanted

    Don't mind all the bad reviews, just watch Rana Naidu and enjoy!
