Manam

Just one word for the movie - Excellent way to give send off to a LEGEND. A Fitting TRIBUTE. Hats off to the 3 Pillars of the movie - Director, Music Director and Cinematographer. Thumbs Up: 1)ANR - NAG - Chaitanya Combo. 2)Samantha's cute performance. 3)Akhil's surprise entry 4)Music and Background Score 5)Cinematography 6)not the least and its the best of all Screenplay & Direction - Hats off. Thumbs Down: N/A It is hard to imagine such a plot and visualize it to the perfection. Manam has some magical moments throughout the film that will make you cheer the characters and their emotions. Romance is too cute and the chemistry between all the lead characters is impeccable. This is actually an emotional film, but the director dealt it in lighter vein and never missed the fun. My Verdict - Masterpiece at it's best

A story that fits only to Akkineni family and a film that only looks plausible with Telugu viewers.

When time and misfortune separates, love and re-incarnation brings and ties them together.

Performances were decent but nothing outstanding. Samantha looked more comfortable out of them all. ANR has less screen time but he did enough justice even at that age.

Some comedy scenes in first half should have been chopped to move forward to the plot point as fast as it can. But it didn't. So we have to wait till the interval for the main proceedings to happen. Interval and Climax were its strongest points.

Vikram Kumar has a classic taste in direction and i want to see his work more in the future. Cinematography was neat and clean but the color tones should have been changed accordingly to bring the contemporary look to the varied time periods. Background score and Prema Prema song are excellent.

Even some cinematic clichés are sugar coated with feel good factor and then you can't help but to appreciate and enjoy.

Yes. Go, appreciate and enjoy

I loved it. It wasn't the same old thing that Tollywood is now releasing. There were no over dramatic fights or cheesy jokes that weren't funny at all. It a clean cut beautiful story that will melt your heart. I loved the family aspect of this movie. The importance of family and communication and understanding. Nagajurna's character "Bittu" was downright adorable. How he yearns for his mom and dad brought tears to my eyes and his love with Sherya was by far the cutest thing ever. The acting was really well done. I have to give props to Sherya, she really killed it. I felt that Chaitanya's acting was a bit dramatic, specially when he was in his collage student phase. All in all, I really really enjoyed this movie. There were so many moments when I was just smiling like an idiot and just being happy with the movie. This is by far the best movie I have seen a while from Tollywood and I hope they keep making more like this.

Such a beautiful movie with brilliant theme. This movie has gone beyond my expectations. It's one of the best-written movies in recent times, this one is easily both intriguing and entertaining - something that is rare for a Telugu film in recent times. Also, one thing that needs a special mention in this movie is Performances. Nagarjuna at his best, his acting was very subtle and intriguing at the same time. Chaitanya has improved a lot in terms of acting, he was good too. Samantha and shreya gave their best. Last but not the least ANR, this movie is a perfect tribute to the legend ANR garu. He lives on with MANAM.

Being an ardent fan of Telugu cinema, I walked out of the theater with a tear down my cheek, watching ANR for one last time on silver screen. Such an emotional moment.

The entire film went very positively from the beginning.Its just like a carnival for the family audience.As i expected from the vikram k kumar the director of the film after watching ishq movie.He gave more over than the expectations.

PERFORMANCES:

The Akkineni family especially A.N.R garu and nagarjuna done very well in the film.chaitu done his role at his best.Samantha done very well as she would be always suited for this type of roles.Every cast and crew done their job well and perfect..!!!

TECHNICAL ASPECTS:

Cinematography Wow..!!! Excellent P.S.VINOD he is the master of the film.Every frame in the film will seem as painting.nice lighting effects and done well in editing also.Especially the accident scene of the nagarjuna and shriya was very well executed.The the Thought of the vikram k kumar about the blood with flowers was very nice.

SUMMARY

Its a wonderful family treat for the class audience.I am sure about it.Every frame in this film is very rich and class.So do not expect any punch dialogs or over emotional scenes in this film.
