Manamantha is the story of four people Sairam (Mohanlal), Gayathri (Gowthami), Abhiram (Viswant) and Mahita (Raina Rao). Sairam works as an assistant manager in a super market who works hard to settle good in life. Gayathri is a simple housewife who finds happiness in simple things. Abhiram is a talented student who helps others. Mahita is a schoolgirl who looks at others before making things. A single incident changes their lives and the rest of Manamantha is all about the situations that they faced further.

The first half of Manamantha has been decent and engaging. The entertainment has been carried forward well and the movie has some gripping narration throughout. The songs have been placed decent and the cinematography is the major highlight of the film. The interval episodes make the film have been strongly narrated that they bring a huge impact on the audience.

The second half of the film too carries the interest forward. The narration has been quite gripping and the emotions have been carried throughout the film. The songs have been shot well and the last half an hour is the film’s major highlight. On the whole Manamantha is a decent attempt from the audience however it will appeal to a limited section of audience.

Mohanlal who proved his mettle as actor did a wonderful job once again. He has been apt in the role of Sairam and is the major highlight of the movie. Gowthami too delivered out her best in the role of Gowthami and she proved that she is still in the race. Viswant has been outstanding in the role and he is talented enough. Raina Rao has been apt for the role and all the others came out with their best performance.

The story of the film has nothing new to reveal but it is the screenplay and dialogues that make the film the best. The music has been decent and is apt. The cinematography is the major disappointment of Manamantha and the production values of the film have been grand and lavish enough. Chandrasekhar Yeleti proved once again that he is one of the most talented directors of Tollywood with his sensible narration.

Final Word:

Manamantha is a decent family entertainer that will appeal to a limited section of audience because of the slow narration though it has been quite interesting.
