WEB SERIES REVIEW: Rana Naidu’s premise is interesting but the writing isn’t much exciting. The show has some impressive performances but the screenplay is engaging in bits and pieces. The series didn’t live up to the expectations completely due to the mediocre writing.
The web series has too many cuss words and objectionable scenes that will not cater to the family crowds. The first four episodes are too lengthy to watch and will test your patience. The last four episodes were engrossing and had some gripping moments.
Venkatesh Daggubati is a show stealer and delivered an outstanding performance. Rana Daggubati delivers a performance that is most notable. Abhishek Banerjee got a well-written character and stands out in the series. Surveen Chawla, Sushant Singh, Ashish Vidyarthi, and other supporting actors played their parts very well.
Rana Naidu Season 1 Rating:
