Maanagaram

There are very few movies which leave you thinking, replaying and pondering about the sequences, chuckling and laughing at the subtle comedy and truly realising the value of the time and money spent. The last movie which made me feel this way was #Pizza. Now it is #Maanagaram.
It is not an exaggeration if I said we rarely get to watch such excellent movies in Tamil off late. There are multiple stories going on in parallel and as we would expect, they DO NOT converge in the climax. Probably this is the only movie with a parallel climax? That itself is giving away quite a bit and hence I would stop with that. But it is true that I'm all in awe. Three or four days now after we have left the movie hall and all of us end up talking and discussing several aspects of this movie. Brilliant!
The director #Lokesh Kanagaraj and the Editor #Philomin deserve special kudos. Many new (or relatively new) faces in this movie again. The director has done a great job of getting them perform naturally. #Sri and #Sundeepare very impressive. Hope Lady Luck smiles at them and they get more opportunities of this kind. #Charlie has been an actor you can bet on. He may not have fan clubs but he has his own set of fans. He has been a great asset to this movie. Another fantastic performer is #Muniskanth. Where was this guy all this while? Whenever he was on screen, we can hear the theatre laughing. His is a tough role. Had he goofed up, it would have been total mockery. But he has done the role so casually. I still smile thinking of some of his scenes as I write this.
Overall, a must watch!
