Naa Rani Nee Maharani () is a 2010 Indian Kannada-language film directed by B. Ramamurthy starring Pooja Gandhi and Akshay Shashwath in the lead roles. The film has a similar storyline to Rani Maharani (1990), which is a remake of Hindi film ChaalBaaz (1989).
Shruti Indira Lakshminarayana from Rediff.com scored the film at 1.5 out of 5 stars and says "Vinaychandra's music is soothing. The songàKugo kolige kharaàmasala from the original has been retained. But the original composition remains unmatched, and so does the originalàRani Maharani". A critic fromàThe New Indian Express wrote "At this juncture, the director introduces a sequence explaining how PoojaâÂÂs relatives want to exploit her for the sake of money. Pooja has tried her level best to perform well, but has failed. The movie is worth watching if you want to see how Pooja manages to play the dual character". B. S. Srivani fromàDeccan Herald wrote "The music director is one to watch out for. The same cannot be said of MallikarjunâÂÂs camerawork which complements RamamurthyâÂÂs old habits. Only the bunch of kids and PoojaâÂÂs dhishoom-dhishoom in a lovely pink saree in the climax manage to linger. A wasted opportunity". A critic fromàDNA wrote "This is just one of the many uncertainties. In the acting department, Pooja seems to have the plum and does a good job. The two heroes remain mere props. Skip this one, opt for the DVD of the older version, we'd say". A critic fromàThe Times of India scored the film at 2.5 out of 5 stars and wrote "Full marks to Pooja Gandhi for her brilliant performance. Sundarraj, Pramila Joshai and Ramesh Bhat excel. Debut music director Vinaya Chandra has given a couple of catchy tunes".
