Story:
The carefree playboy Vikram and the soon-to-be bride Subhadra find themselves bonded by Kushi’s (kid) intervention in a startling turn of events. Was it possible for them to fulfill their obligations to Kushi? What became of Kushi’s parents? Are the caretakers and the child’s family connected on a deeper level? You can find the solutions in the movie’s evolving story.
Pros:
It’s hard to ignore Sharwanand’s stylish aura, upbeat disposition, and flawless comic timing. Sincere laughter is produced by his playboy antics and flirty conversation. Their scenes together are made more endearing by Krithi Shetty and Sharwanand’s rapport. Beautiful and impactful is Vikram Adittya’s debut performance. Not only do the background music and soundtrack perfectly match the mood of the film, but the supporting cast also gives good performances.
Cons:
The plot starts off intriguingly, but as the intermission approaches, it loses steam and doesn’t have the emotional depth that would have kept the audience interested in the second part. Even though Vikram Adittya’s portrayal of Kushi is the main focus, he appears less frequently in the second part of the film. With multiple characters and subplots taking focus away from the primary story, the film’s second half lacks emotional power. The overall viewing experience is impacted by writer-director Sriram Adittya’s inability to maintain the level of engagement that was evident in the first half. The film’s flaws include its dull climax and cliched plot. For example, Seerat Kapoor, Shiva Kandukuri, and Mukesh Rishi could have all been given more development to increase the interest level of the plot. There are also issues with the leads’ lack of powerfully emotional scenes. The songs aren’t particularly memorable, even though the score improves in several parts.
Technical Aspects:
Both the writer and director, Sriram Adittya, passed up a chance to make the second half as enjoyable as the first. Because of the shallow writing, viewers are left wondering what the main plot point is. The main songs by Hesham Abdul Wahab don’t really stick with you, but his background recordings are excellent and give the tunes some depth. The visually pleasing aesthetics of Gnana Sekhar and Vishnu Sharma’s cinematography are impressive. There is room for improvement in Prawin Pudi’s editing, especially in the second hour. The CGI work is inconsistent and lacks polish, which makes it fall short of expectations even though the production values are respectable. It is necessary to recognize the creative talents of the costume designers.
Verdict:
Overall, Manamey is a decent family drama, with a strong performance by Sharwanand and an outstanding performance from Krithi Shetty. The film’s dull second half and little emotional depth undermine the overall impression, even as the soundtrack livens up certain sections. Manamey has the capacity to amuse family audiences, even though it might not speak to everyone.
