Manu

Phanindra has a unique style of film making that no one can match his kind, this movie is a perfect example on his ability. Though it's lengthy, but then, by end of the show you can't stop loving it !

This movie doesn't have a ny commercial elements, comedy, Elevations, songs and no complaints about technicians. every person starting from hero to the assistant for very small things in making did their complete for film. If one person is blamed for the "not a commercial success" its the director for not reaching the Audience pulse. He made an excellent debut with such a Great story and screenplay. this movie works only for few set of audience. movie cults can enjoy the film for fullest and its a word. Dont go for any YouTube reviews and website reviews and experience the film with A bit patience and Understanding the Every aspect of film.

The story starts with two contexts going in parallel and you asking the question why? as you follow through, your why's are answered but by the time a "why" is answered, another "why" takes space on the screen and draws your attention for the next answer. This is continued all through the movie which is why the sole reason for a viewer to feel himself attached to the movie for 3 long hrs

The first 30-45 min of the movie is a bit hard to crack. It won't make sense until the next hour starts to reveal the answers for all the mystery that's there in the previous hour. I must say, the director took his time to explain every detail he brought onto the screen space. It's tough for the director to keep the audience engaged for 3 hrs and phani has done exceptional work in this aspect. This is completely justified after the end of the movie.

I am so amazed by the screenplay. I am sure the director himself may have had complications in writing the play for the very first time. one needs a lot of patience and thinking to sketch such a play and , there's no two ways about it, phani is one of those top directors in Indian cinema. His intelligence can be vividly scene in the flow of the movie.

While a scene is introduced and parked away for a while, before you get lost with the current running context, the director makes sure that you connect the dots by recalling the introduced scenes. Some time in the mid way, people may not follow why the director has played a scene that don't have relevance with the running context. However, why he made such a move will be appreciated only when you move forward "along with the screenplay", this is where you have the utmost fun when you start connecting the dots.

"the sets of manu" on YouTube shows the commendable hard work they put in to building the sets for movie. With such a low budget, I am taken aback with the quality of the movie. Especially, phani used his intelligence in creating lighting which would usually demand a heavy price for the same creation. Whatever the architect and director had conceived in terms of the sets, it was clearly seen on the screen.

What adds more to the movie is phani's magical dialogue writing. We all know, the philosophical and poetic person in phani through madhuram. Some refreshing dialogues were exchanged between the leads in the movie and one would immensely enjoy the whole track.

Not to be forgotten about the cameraman, can't imagine how few of the shots were shot, the expertise is commendable.

Finally, this movie is not to the crowd who enjoy direct entertainment. it's specific to the audience who loves to think through the movie.

I wish more and more of these comes into the market and I sincerely hope that people start accepting these kinds of films and encourage the young talent who are far better than the conventional movie makers.

Cinematography, color combinations, music top notch. Screenplay tests your patience when you see the movie for the first time. Recommended second time watch to connect all the dots. Movie lovers only will love this movie. People who came to relax will be much more frustrated.

Its a pure art,thriller,love story with a quite tricky screenplay which breaks the boundaries for a regular perception in movies.As it is a simple revenge story but the way director narrated with a new perception made it magnificent movie kudos to phanindra narsetti for his guts. Its really rare watching art movies in TFI kudos to art director. cinematographer & music were excellent. Overall, some people may not like this movie due to its length & screenplay but if you connect to the directors point you will enjoy the movie a lot.
