Vijay's assistant (played by Brahmanandam) comes along wit him. There's Appa Rao (Dharmavarapu), Shankar Rao's brother-in-law and his wife and daughters too. He even mentions one daughter missing (which is hidden from him and the siddhanti).

Some portions towards the end appear a tad silly and far-fetched too.ĭr Vijay (Venkatesh) comes to the house of Shankar Rao (Sarath Babu) and rattles off the family history of each of the daughters and other family members much to their astonishment. In the process the seriousness of the subject may have been diluted a bit but the entertainment has received a huge boost. His screenplay is good and what stands out is the fact that he's been able to weave in the entertainment factor into an otherwise serious subject. He has ensured that the film is entertaining for the audience with some doses of inbuilt humour and a couple of songs which do tend to jar a bit but it doesn't spoil the overall picture. P Vasu, who wrote the screenplay and helmed Aptarakshaka, reprises his role again in Nagavalli. Nagavalli is largely a frame to frame remake of Aptharakshaka but has a few new scenes added to it. Though there are references to the original (in a way to connect it) but Nagavalli can be seen as a standalone film as well. Also, the dialogues between the siddhanti and the doctor are not didactic or verbose, therefore easily understandable by the common man. Well, Nagavalli works because of a good screenplay, fine performances and the fact that it's made in the commercial realm. In fact a painting of Nagavalli in the house is said to be the root cause of all problems. Psychiatrist Dr Vijay (Venkatesh) is called by Ramchandra Siddhanti (Avinash) to help solve the mystery. It now haunts and creates problems in another house - that of Shankar Rao in Tirupati. Now the Telugu remake of Aptarakshaka titled Nagavalli does bring back the same issue of the spirit/ghost of Chandramukhi though one thought it was settled in the earlier film. So was the sequel Aptarakshaka (in Kannada) to Aptamitra (remake of Chandramukhi).
