ANR’s last film Manam has hit the screens officially with the premiers. We gets exclusive review from the premiers. The movie is directed by Vikram Kumar of “Ishq” fame. Anoop rubens gave the music for the film while the entire “Akkineni Family” remained the main cast. Sreya and Samantha shined in female leads while “Akkineni Family” produced this film. To know whether Manam remained an excellent tribute to late ANR, read the review below.
Story: The movie begins with Naga chaitanya and Samantha introduced as couples and Nagarjuna as their son. Nagarjuna loses his parents in an accident. But coincidentally he comes across them after many years. How he enjoys being with his younger parents forms the entire first half. How ANR is related to Nagarjuna forms the twist of the tale. Sreya pairs up Nagarjuna in the second half. Whether the story has a happy ending or not has to be watched on the screen.
Performances: Naga Chaitanya improved a lot in the film. Nagarjuna remained the heart of the film making the film revolving around him. Samantha and Sreya both had got characters which had good scope to perform and both of them excelled. ANR is at his best. His pure smile steals the show in the entire second half. Ali, Nellore Giri, MS Narayana and Brahmanandam did justice to the small roles offered to them.
Technical Aspects: If there is anybody who deserves a special praise, it is definitely the director. No director couldn’t have showcased such a typical story at such an ease. Background score is another best aspect of the film. Anoop deserves praise too.Cinematography is also at its best.
