Naa Girlfriend Baga Rich (transl. My girlfriend is very rich) is a 2009 Indian Telugu-language romantic thriller film directed by M. Nagendra Kumar and starring Sivaji, Kaveri Jha and Brahmanandam.[1][2] Although the film is inspired by the American film 8 Heads in a Duffel Bag (1997), it has a different storyline. The film is about the romance between a poor boy and a rich girl.[3]
Plot

Reception
A critic from The Times of India rated the film one out of five and opined that "The director of the film was under the impression that he can get away with a fun-centric film revolving around a 'weird' plot, but he is sadly mistaken".[5] Jeevi from Idlebrain.com gave the same rating and wrote that "On a whole, NGFBR is a pathetically made film with unappealing content".[6] A critic from 123Telugu also gave the same rating and stated that "The entire film in fact seems to be based on two English movies - "Transporter" and "Welcome". The Tyson character seems to have been etched from Transporter and the romance angle has definitely been copied from Welcome".[7] A critic from Sify gave the film a verdict of "Below Average" and wrote that "The film has nothing to offer. It is neither a complete comedy entertainer nor a suspense movie nor an action film".[8] A critic from Filmibeat said that "In total, the film is more boring and less entertaining".[9] Deepa Garimella of Full Hyderabad criticised the film and wrote that "In case you do plan to watch this flick, please carry your own garbage bag and keep the theatre clean as no one wants to see your head rolling around".[10]
