She is stuck in her ordinary life with people from her daily life pattern who talk about their notions that are in contrary to the other.

Reception

[edit]

Sunayana Suresh of The Times of India gave it 3.5 out of 5 stars and wrote, "Nathicharami is different, bold and relevant. It talks about desires and yet discusses the idea of consent. The film is definitely a step towards more gender sensitive cinema that is required in the industry."[20] Jagadish Angadi of the Deccan Herald gave it a rating of 3.5 out of 5, noting that "the film's psychological and physical explorations remain incomplete. It is reduced to the status of an adult art movie. The lack of a background score in many scenes affects the cinematic experience."[21]

Aravind Shwetha of The News Minute gave it a positive review and wrote, "The movie is a must-watch, if you can sit through the slow pace."[22]

Prathima Nandakumar of The Week gave it a rating of 3.5 out of 5, noting that "Nathicharami is a thought-provoking movie, slow-paced, yet engaging."[23]
