Maanagaram

In spite of getting good reviews, I mostly put off watching neo-noir films, coz I doubt whether it would appeal to my kids. This was a surprise indeed, and we were all hooked from start to end.

With a non-studded star cast, the movie moves intelligently from frame to frame. We surmise the characters would be interlinked at some point, but it was an unexpected points.

Maanagaram gives a realistic portrayal on a metropolitan city and the opinions of migrators. Normally, we feel secure in the safe confines of our local hometowns and villages and dread going to a metro without contacts. We are apprehensive to the lurking dangers in public transport, night time alleys and basically of people themselves. All this still holds true, but the punchline of the movie gives a much needed insight here." We cannot blame the city for the doings of the inhabitants, so if we expect help from others, we need to initiate offering help from our side."

Each character is etched artistically, without much intro or explanations. There is no irrirating love side plot or needless songs woven into the storyline. Kudos to the director, technicians and the whole team on an impeccable job.

Story itself is so powerful which depicts the notion which outsiders keep on metro cities, whatever be the reason for anyone's experience the metro cities have been a boon for our country. Some want to be around for sake of money and some stay out for their goodness. No one wish to give and take from what the city has, metro cities have been giving so much purpose and interesting life to everyone which all can't have it in their very own native side. Remember the catch:- it's the people who make a place beautiful. Talking about the film, it's starts so real and best of camera work shown. Wonderfully crafted story having significance for each character a city has everywhere. Story moves with present common problems a city has, and revolving around it. Director made an interesting connection of Theft,acid attacks,rowdism,kiddnaping, police corruption, sentiments and love in the city which ends to a happy note of telling people that do what is right and things will have a positive change for sure in the end.

Best flick with good story, and camera work however screenplay could have been better.

There are very few great movies releasing nowadays for which I feel compelled to rate and write reviews here. And this is one of them.
