Manam is one of the most awaited films not
just for the audience but also for people from
the film industry. Manam has finally released
across the globe and here is an exclusive
review by me on the movie Manam.
Story :
Manam is a mixture of past and present. Naga
Chaitanya, Nagarjuna, Samantha and
Shriya portray two different variety of roles.
The story starts off with Nagarjuna meeting
Naga Chaitanya and Samantha in two
different places and getting reminded of his
past. He puts in all his effort to bring the duo
closer. While this track forms the first half of
the film, the interval break comes in as a big
twist marking the entry of Shriya and Akkineni
Nageswara Rao. Second half comprises of
Nageswara Rao's effort to bring Nagarjuna
and Shriya into a love bond and the journey of
Naga Chaitanya and Samantha. In all this, a
past life is involved and there are two stories
which creates the suspense. How things work
between the two couple and what connection
they have with the past and Nageswara Rao's
role in between forms the rest of the film.
Analysis :
Manam is a family entertainer which runs with
a lot of emotions and drama. Although the
first half is quite slow, we can count on the
second half. The movie might feel long but end
of the day, we can be happy about seeing a
new concept on screen. The film has been
well-executed and Manam will remain one of
it's kind.
Performances :
Nageswara Rao :
The legendary actor has played a short and
significant role in the film. His entry towards
the interval gets really heavy on any Telugu
Movie Buff with a feel that this is the last
time, one could see the man on screen. Apart
from this, Nageswara Rao had done his best
as an efficient and experienced actor. His cute
little expressions and an innocent smile
towards the second half is actually enough to
make us miss him more.
Nagarjuna :
Nagarjuna did steal the show with his
performance. His past and present life acting
had been perfectly balanced and the actor
carried it off really well throughout the film.
Naga Chaitanya :
Naga Chaitanya is present all through the film
but his role is not as significant as Nagarjuna.
He creates that youth feeling along with
Samantha in the first half. Naga
Chaitanya did his bit in perfection is what we
could say.
Samantha and Shriya :
Both these ladies added beauty to the entire
screen. Samantha and Shriya had a good
scope for performance and they ravished the
show.
Technical Aspects :
Direction :
Director Vikram needs to be appreciated for
bringing up a new concept like Manam and
executing it so well. He made sure to extract
the best from every artist in terms of
performance. Although, a little magic was
missing for a film that involves three
generations of the Akkineni clan, it gets
compensated by the story itself.
Cinematography :
P S Vinod has done a wonderful job. He made
sure to communicate a lot of expressions with
the movement of his camera. The colors in
every scene and the appearance of every
artiste were captured in perfection. The
locations and sets of Manam did feel real. The
cinematographer had done a flawless job on
Manam.
Music :
They say that a sound, music or a song
should be there for a reason and Anup Rubens
did justice to this concept. The background
score is breathtaking and songs are soothing.
The peppy number also blends really well with
the flow of the film.
Plus Points :
1. Nagarjuna's performance
2. Nageswara Rao's short yet sweet role.
3. A different concept not experienced by
Telugu Film Industry.
4. It is a film for people of all age groups
Negative Points :
1. The story could have been trimmed to make
it more crisp.
2. The little magic was missing to make
Manam, a picture perfect film.
Twist :
Climax sequence has a huge and unexpected
surprise element for the audience. Not even a
single clue will be given about it. People
should watch the movie to know what it is !!!
Conclusion :
Manam is a wholesome family entertainer and
a tribute to the Legendary Actor Akkineni
Nageswara Rao. It is definitely worth a
watch !!!
Rating : 4/5
