#Manam movie review idlebrain full
But the other scenes are quite jaded, full of clichés and filled with sloppy sentiment. It is acceptable if it is modern love story. Then he has an assistant (Vennela Kishore) and his main job is to bring ‘helmet’ (condoms) when he starts playing ‘match’ with women.įilled with such lousy adult jokes, double meaning dialogue and over-the-top scenes like Nagarjuna getting a whip from a hooker in a sex bar to Rakul kissing Jhansi, the movie hardly is ‘family-friendly’ movie though it claims to be. He remains bachelor even when he has become an old-man (this film doesn’t mention his age unlike in the original French movie where protagonist is in early 40’s).īut he keeps indulging in one-night stands with various women because he doesn’t want to do agriculture (marriage) for one meal (sex). Because, his mother and sisters scared his first girlfriend Suma (Keerthy Suresh) and who later broke him up with. There is also silly backstory to Nagarjuna why he has remained bachelor. Why this explanation?īecause the director wanted to add some old Telugu dialogues for Nagarjuna and Lakshmi. The place they settled is Casandra.īut soon, the people had indulged in reproduction activity as there is no other entertainment back then and made the place an Andhra locality and thus it came to be known as Cas’Andhra’. The film has some silly backstory that some people from Andhra went to Portugal and settled there some decades ago. One wonders why Nagarjuna in real-life could not sense that this story and scenes smell bad. He is introduced in this film as a perfumer who can smell anything even from the far place, he gets choked when he notices pungent smells. What made Nagarjuna think that this would suit his age and image since we have seen such stories done by other actors when he was young? The story of this French movie is quite clichéd, and also jaded. “Manmadhudu 2” is the official remake of a French movie named “I Do”. In fact, this is lame attempt to cash in on the old movie’s name. Nagarjuna has dared to put the second part of ‘Manmadhudu’ but the movie has not even turned to be half good. Production values and production design are classy but dialogues are not good, most of them are filled with double-entendre.Įven though “Manmadhudu 2” is not a sequel to the much-loved 2002 “Manmadhudu”, people definitely will compare this movie to Trivikram written Vijay Bhaskar rom-com. The film has just okay music by Chaitan Bhardwaj. Samantha, Keerthy Suresh, and Akshara Gowda have appeared in guest roles. Vennela Kishore gets good lines and he is the only saving grace. Lakshmi as Nagarjuna’s mother, Jhansi, and Devadarshini as his sisters and Rao Ramesh have added nothing but cacophony. Chinmayee has dubbed her voice and it is like watching Samantha's dialogues with Rakul’s expression. Rakul Preet Singh has played the role of Avanthika that has required a better actress. Some dialogues are written about his age and looks, like ‘hot old man’.
There is nothing special about his performance here but one can spot his good looks even at the age of 60. Nagarjuna has played such cool roles in the past and he is believable in this character. Will this rented-girlfriend fall in love? She runs away as they planned on their wedding but she comes back to his life due to one incident. When his mother and sisters insist on getting married, he brings in a girlfriend Avanthika (Rakul Preet Singh). Middle-aged Sam (Nagarjuna) is a perfumer and is unmarried. Has this new romantic drama lived up to all the hype and buzz? Let’s find out. When the senior star announced ‘Manmadhudu 2’, it naturally created good buzz and the teasers and trailers of this latest romantic drama have increased the hype. Manmadhudu was one of the favorite films for many among Nagarjuna's movies.
