Review: MANORAMA- SIX FEET UNDER


Waaow...! This  is some  real grasping stuff..! Hats off to the script-writer.


On one  hand, i was feelling pitty that I had  watched  race 2 , as  it failed  badly to even surprise me  to the slight, while  years  back, movies  like this are made, that leave  you completely awestruck.!




At first it felt as  if  the movie was going bit slow, but never  seemed a  bore. And  whenever  there
is any writer  stuff  involved , it makes  be  that little  extra interested  in it. And it was totally amazing, to see one  of  my favourite and a  very versatile actor, Abhay deol being cast as a writer, and  that too with that essence of philosophy in him. Just loved  him.!

The dialogues in the movie , though not punchy as  like  crappy shit of Dabbang, are  really good.
And the  picturisation is just fabulous. The scene where  he lays  stranded  in the  sand, after being hit badly and  robbed  by the two gundaas made  me capture  a screen shot of it.And  mentioning of dacoits, it makes  me  mention another  name that turned  out  to be a surprise  yet again. Nawazuddin siddique. Not having any major  role, yet he  never fails to make  his  screen presence  count, and  was  really surprised to see  him in his  typical –Faizalish ,so called ‘dominating’ character in the movie. The guy is a grasper.!

 A few scenes that contain hidden, philosophical messages  or  indirect indications  add  to the gist of the movie.  Vinay pathak has  performed  his role  of brother –in-law quite  fairly and  has  given great justice  to his role and  dialogues.  Gul panag too was  a sweet fit  as  Nimi, with typical house wife dressing and  the typical wifish nature that really sometimes  beats the  shit out of any husbands temperament. Just felt that, the Rohtak trip was  made  a  bit too long, and  Nimi’s  absence could  have  been reduced  by a bit.
 And  well, the rest of  the  journey tastes  best when served  undisclosed. :p

However , the movie was  greatly directed, and  was  bit surprised when such a  movie  didn’t get neither  any fame among people nor  box  office  collections. And it just frustrates  me  more  at times that why are  people still being engaged  just to sheer crap, that is neither  a  fairytale to amaze  you, nor  any great acting.. And  thats what works  as  the  killing pill, for  such brilliant scripting  and acting heads.  And once  again, full marks  to Abhay deol’s script selection.  A very subtle  script and so was the acting. Just loved  the dialogues  that he  said in the  background, though its credit goes  completely to the  writers, but Abhay’s  voice  and style  of delivering was  what added  to the  philosophy and  grasp to them.  As its said  in the film, “thodi si saavdhaani, zindagi bhar asaani”. Likewise  goes  with Abhay, a  little  care in choosing the scripts, and a  lifelong satisfaction to the self of having done a great deed and  justice  to his profession.! 

All in all a  beautifully woven story and script. And a  must watch...!!

My Rating : 4.23/5
