Negatives:
Second Half

Several episodes misses Logic
Performances:
Ashish Gandhi is here to stay and he delivers out a matured and stunning performance throughout. His screen presence is a huge asset for him. Ashima Narwal too has been apt and she delivers out a decent performance. Their chemistry should be specially mentioned. All the other actors have been apt and suited their roles well. They performed well in their assignments.
Natakam has a lose plot and lacks interesting episodes. Most of the episodes in the second half misses the logic. The screenplay and dialogues have been ok. The songs have been shot well but they haven’t been placed well. The cinematography work is a huge asset and the editing has been sharp. The production values have been apt and the makers spent lavishly on the project. Debutant Kalyanji has been good during the first half but the most crucial second half looks sidelined and fails to make much impact.
Verdict:
Natakam is a misfire and it fails to make any impact because of the illogical and sidelined second half. Ashish Gandhi and Ashima Narwal shines with perfection in their assigned roles.
Rating: 2/5
