Anji reveals to Bhaskar that Varalu and Kishtayya were also in a relationship 10 years ago, which was opposed by Varadaraju as Peddayya wanted his son Dasu to marry her in an arranged marriage.
As Veerabhadrudu continues to oppose Bhaskar and Kumari's marriage and deems Kishtayya responsible for his defeat, he learns from his aides that a year ago, Dasu returned to his village to attend the ongoing Bhogi festival from Dubai after completing jail time for an attempted murder.
Dasu joins hands with Veerabhadrudu, kidnaps both Bhaskar and Kumari, and attacks Kishtayya just as he enters Jagganna Thota leading the procession.
[citation needed] Paul Nicodemus of The Times of India rated 3.5/5 stars, saying that "Naa Saami Ranga marks a triumphant comeback for Akkineni Nagarjuna in the commercial cinema landscape.
The film's successful amalgamation of mass appeal, a compelling narrative, and emotional depth makes it a commendable watch, resonating well with its audience during the festive Sankranti season.
"[11] Neeshitha Nyayapati of Hindustan Times praised the music, acting and camerawork, saying that, "Naa Saami Ranga is a no-nonsense rural drama that's a decent watch for Sankranthi.
"[12] Vivek MV of The Hindu wrote, "A remake of Porinju Mariam Jose, Vijay Binni's 'Naa Saami Ranga', starring Nagarjuna and Ashika Ranganath, is a 'masala' affair that plays it safe and misses the point of the original.
But the way it is mounted with A-listers, the presence of decent comedy, solid fights, and colourful visuals make this film a time-pass watch this festive season.
