“Manamey,” directed by Sriram Adittya, is a Telugu romantic comedy-drama that hit theaters on June 7, 2024. Starring Sharwanand and Krithi Shetty in lead roles, the film explores themes of love, responsibility, and personal growth against the backdrop of picturesque London.
Vikram (Sharwanand) is a carefree individual pursuing higher studies in London. His life revolves around casual relationships and a commitment-free lifestyle. However, tragedy strikes when his best friend Anurag and Anurag’s wife Swati die in an accident, leaving behind their two-year-old son, Khushi. Reluctantly, Vikram becomes Khushi’s guardian, sharing responsibilities with Subhadra (Krithi Shetty), a close friend of Swati. As Vikram and Subhadra navigate the challenges of co-parenting, they confront their own personal issues, leading to unexpected emotional bonds.
Sharwanand delivers a vibrant performance, portraying Vikram’s transformation from a self-centered individual to a responsible guardian with charm and authenticity. His comedic timing and emotional depth add layers to the character. Krithi Shetty complements him well as Subhadra, embodying a mature and nurturing persona. The chemistry between the leads enhances the narrative, making their evolving relationship believable and engaging.
Director Sriram Adittya adopts a lighthearted approach to storytelling, blending humor and sentiment effectively in the first half. However, the second half follows a more predictable trajectory, with familiar tropes and a conventional narrative arc. While the film maintains a feel-good vibe, deeper exploration of character dynamics, particularly Subhadra’s perspective, could have added more depth to the story. Manamey Review
While “Manamey” offers a pleasant viewing experience with its charming performances and visual appeal, it doesn’t venture into new territory. The storyline is predictable, and certain subplots, especially in the second half, feel underdeveloped. The film could have benefited from a tighter script and more nuanced character development to leave a lasting impact.
