Maanagaram/Nagaram
-- one city, four stories, different mishaps, only hope is to earn a living and
move forward -- has been deftly knitted with a tight yet unpredictable
hyperlink narration with elements like suspense, love, hope, valour and
cupidity.
Kudos
to the debutant for his coming of age hyperlink cinema which is highly
impressive due to its lifelike performances, quirky plot lines and the
unbelievable climax.
The film depicts the story of four people who face agony just
because of one another. There is Sri, a newcomer to the city, who always faces
misfortunes. And there is Sundeep Kishan, an aggressive youth, who is seen
flirting Regina and at the same time does quarrels and combats. There is
Charle, a middle aged person, who has come to the city to earn a living.
Lastly, there is this guy, Ramdoss, who creates humour with his immature sense
when he joins a local gang. Taking these four characters, the director and the
creative team weave an impressive well-wrought story which at no point falls
flat.
The
film is technically sound in terms of cinematography and background music.
Songs speak about the story to some extent. The film’s running length makes it
even an engaging yet gripping watch.
It’s
refreshing to experience a hyperlink cinema amidst mainstream films. It
effectively dramatizes the harsher side of the society which puts common man at
trouble sometimes for no reason. Often, hope, courage and luck are the only
things which can bring us out of suffering. These are the main elements that
the filmmaker penned to keep the pace of the hyperlink structure. Though the
film falls under the suspense genre, the subplots interpret the life of four
different people. Consider the scene where the police inspector slaps Sri, it
is his individuality that urges him to define what he is! And the fact that he
realizes that not everyone is unkind in urban atmosphere at the end. And the
scene when Ramdoss leaves the 1 crore money he is offered, realizing his
wrongdoings are worth mentionable.
On
a whole, what works in this hyperlink cinema is its uncommon storyline,
watchable performances and captivating suspense drama. Thankfully it's very
good to expect a film like this from a debutant filmmaker as narration is the
key in such hyperlink films. Give
it a watch if you still haven't and thank us later.
