The film starred four relatively fresh faces - Prem Kumar who received a new lease of life with this movie, Naveen Krishna, Vidya Venkatesh and Varsha.
Nenapirali focused on the youth and their confusion about love, and was critically and commercially a success.
The film released in early 2008 amidst much fanfare, but it failed to live up to expectations of both critics and audience.
The criticism leveled against Ratnaja was weak narration, and the audience refused to humour the film.
Ratnaja later made a film titled Premism which again was not very well received by the audience.
