Nirmala Convent movie review: Script falls short of passing marks

Nirmala Convent movie cast: Roshan Meka, Shriya Sharma, Akkineni Nagarjuna
Nirmala Convent movie director: G Naga Koteswara Rao

It is the same old story, oft told — the heroine is the daughter of a rich zamindar, the hero is a poor boy and both fall in love. A power struggle follows with the families pitted against each other, often underlined by exaggerated casteism. A happy ending brings the curtains to the whole show.

This story has often been the launchpad of star kids. Nirmala Convent is no exception. The film repeats the same tired story with a brand new cast and expects the fresh new faces to do wonders. So this is what happens in the film: An impoverished and precocious teenage boy falls in love with a girl who happens to be the daughter of an aristocratic landlord.

The rest of the film is how the boy participates in a quiz show and wins back the girl.
