Nari Nari Naduma Murari (transl. Lord Krishna in between two ladies) is a 1990 Telugu-language romantic comedy film directed by A. Kodandarami Reddy. The film was produced by K. Murari under the Yuva Chitra Arts banner. It stars Nandamuri Balakrishna, Shobana, Nirosha,^[1] and the music is composed by K. V. Mahadevan. This is the 50th film of Nandamuri Bala Krishna and it was recorded as a Super Hit at the box office. During the pre-climax scene, Balakrishna does not appear for more than 20 minutes, which is uncommon in Telugu films.

Plot

The film begins in Nakkabokkalapaadu, where a lofty woman, Sesharatnam, prioritizes outward beauty. She averses her henpeck husband, Veerabhadraiah, as he has a second spouse, Nagamani. Indeed, before his marriage, he loved Nagamani, but by force of his mother Janakamma, he espoused Sesharatnam. Later, the truth is out when Sesharatnam rebukes, ostracizes her mother-in-law, and stays away from Veerabhadraiah. The couple has two daughters, Shobha, a homely & Neeraja / Neeru, a naughty modern. Veerabhadraiah aspires to knit a daughter with his nephew Venkateswara Rao / Venkanna to unite the families. Anyhow, Sesharatnam inadvertently denies it. So, Veerabhadraiah gives rise to Venkanna, who words his grandmother to nuptials one of his cousins and rectifies his mother-in-law. Now, Venkanna lands at their village, where Sesharatnam vilifies him and challenges her to splice his daughter.

From there, he becomes operational in attempts to woo Shobha & Neeru in various skirmishes and teases Sesharatnam. Parallelly, Veerabhadraiah is blackmailed by Appadu as he upholds a secret. Once, Venkanna accuses himself of protecting his honor when Shobha endears him. Plus, a series of donnybrooks run between Venkanna & Neeru, and she, too, likes him. Out of the blue, the two struck Venkanna, proclaiming that they would not survey without him. Now, the story takes several twists and turns, which ends hilariously. Being conscious of the ongoing, Sesharatnam rebukes and smacks her daughters when Veerabhadraiah hinders and states one of the two is not her own. Afterward, he narrates that one is the progeny of Nagamani. The two delivered at the same time. Sesharatnam gave birth to twins and lost a baby, which Veerabhadraiah recouped with Nagamani's daughter.

Today, Sesharatnam proceeds to Janakamma and Shobha & Neeru to Nagamani to be aware of actuality. Then, Janakamma replies she also doesn't know it. Besides, Nagamani answers that the woman who shares love & affection with anyone is only the mother and asks them to retrieve. Listening to it, Sesharatnam embraces her daughters and is much obliged to Nagamani. The elders leave the decision to the kids, who will wedlock Venkanna when the sibling asks to make his choice, and he is bewildered. At last, Venkanna rushes to Venkateswara, where the Lord affirms that he is waiting to perceive the answer to the same question which he is unable to provide to his wives Sridevi and Bhudevi. Shobha & Neeru is approaching him, but he cannot respond. Finally, the movie ends happily, with Venkanna fusing with the two.
