Manam (2014)

Did you people see the same film I saw?

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.

Interesting plot with unforgettable characters and beautiful music. Direction and Cinematography is pure bliss to watch with stunning frames and beautiful visuals. Only downside of the film, Naga Chaitanya's acting could improve slightly as it falls behind other prominent stars like ANR garu,Nag garu and Samantha who definitely wowed the audience effortlessly. Worth the watch!

I liked this film and it was wonderful to see a legend, ANR for the last time on silver screen.The screenplay, though inspired is well written to adapt to the nativity of Telugu audiences. Thankfully, I did not take my brain inside the movie theater, so I just went with the flow and reacted for whatever was happening, without thinking anything. So I could appreciate some genuine feelings which made me feel for the characters.Produced by Akkineni Family, this films uses many things about them, from their names to fitting whole of the family in a frame. Nagarjuna as a surprise acted well and was the best among the lot. He showcased his skills very effortlessly and he just went along with the flow. I cannot remember even one dialog which I thought was out of place or uncalled for. Dialogues between ANR and Naga Chaitanya were a bit overboard I felt.The film is not devoid of flaws, it has some huge and big holes. But, all those can be forgiven if the sheer effort of writing down this piece and putting all the pieces together are considered. Nagarjuna again proved to be a good producer who wishes to take challenges and it was heartening to see this script having such a huge cast. It's an experiment in Telugu Film Industry and I am happy it has paid off. It involves multiple flashbacks and the same people wearing different characters. It would have been really tough had this been complicated. This was a very simplified and spoon-fed screenplay and that's the reason I believe it worked. Of all the stories that were put in, I liked the story of Seeta (Nagarjuna) and Rama (Shriya) in the village. That was a real treat in the film. A 3/5 for a film that I liked and I hope to see such endeavors being encouraged in Telugu Film Industry.Just a spoiler, please watch the film "Back To The Future" which I believe is a huge inspiration for this film.

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.
