Naa Girlfriend Baga Rich is a 2009 Indian Telugu-language romantic thriller film directed by M. Nagendra Kumar and starring Sivaji, Kaveri Jha and Brahmanandam.[1] [2] Although the film is inspired by the American film 8 Heads in a Duffel Bag (1997), it has a different storyline. The film is about the romance between a poor boy and a rich girl.[3]
Plot
Sanjay Sastri falls in love with NRI Sravya in Bangkok. While there, Sanjay mixes up his bag with his co-passenger Mike Tyson, whose bag contains seven heads. How Sanjay proves his innocence to Sravya's family forms the rest of the plot.
Production
The film was shot in Mauritius for twenty days.[4]
Music
The soundtrack for the film was composed by Mantra Anand.[5]
Reception
A critic from The Times of India rated the film one out of five and opined that "The director of the film was under the impression that he can get away with a fun-centric film revolving around a 'weird' plot, but he is sadly mistaken".[6] Jeevi from Idlebrain.com gave the same rating and wrote that "On a whole, NGFBR is a pathetically made film with unappealing content".[7] A critic from 123Telugu also gave the same rating and stated that "The entire film in fact seems to be based on two English movies - "Transporter" and "Welcome". The Tyson character seems to have been etched from Transporter and the romance angle has definitely been copied from Welcome".[8] A critic from Sify gave the film a verdict of "Below Average" and wrote that "The film has nothing to offer. It is neither a complete comedy entertainer nor a suspense movie nor an action film".[9] Deepa Garimella of Full Hyderabad criticised the film and wrote that "In case you do plan to watch this flick, please carry your own garbage bag and keep the theatre clean as no one wants to see your head rolling around".[10]
