Charming star Sharwanand’s latest movie, ‘Maname’, directed by Shriram Aditya, has been released today. Let’s delve into the review to see how well this film has resonated with the audience!
Story:
Vikram (Sharwanand) leads a carefree life filled with fun and indulgence. However, tragedy strikes when his friend Anurag and his wife die in an accident, leaving their son orphaned. Due to some dramatic developments, Vikram and Subhadra (Kriti Shetty) are tasked with caring for the child for four months. As they navigate this responsibility, Vikram falls in love with Subhadra, who is already engaged to someone else. The story unfolds around Vikram’s efforts to win Subhadra’s heart and the challenges they face.
Plus Points:
The movie’s strengths lie in its decent concept, feel-good family scenes, and emotional love story. The romantic moments between Sharwanand and Kriti Shetty, as well as Master Vikram Aditya’s character, are particularly noteworthy. Sharwanand delivers a compelling performance, especially in emotional scenes and as a father figure in the second half.
Sharwanand’s portrayal of Vikram is both settled and powerful, with his performance in the climax being a highlight. The chemistry between Sharwanand and Kriti Shetty is engaging and enjoyable. Kriti Shetty excels in her role, impressing with her screen presence and acting skills.
Seerat Kapoor shines in her cameo, while Ayesha Khan impresses with her glamour. Master Vikram Aditya is adorable and engaging. Vennela Kishore and Rahul Ramakrishna provide natural, effective performances, and Sudarshan, along with Siva Kandukuri and the rest of the cast, contribute well to their roles.
Minus Points:
While director Sriram Aditya presents a good plot, the story can be simplistic and slow at times. Some family and love sequences in the second half lack interest and feel routine. The film could have benefitted from trimming some of these predictable scenes to maintain a tighter pace.
Additionally, the screenplay could have been more engaging, especially in the second half, where a small conflict is introduced at the interval but doesn’t fully captivate. Some scenes feel prolonged and contribute to a predictable climax.
Technical Department:
Director Sriram Aditya impresses with his direction and plot, though the screenplay could have been stronger. Music by Hesham Abdul Wahab, including both songs and background score, is commendable. Editing by Praveen Pudi could have been tighter to enhance the film’s pacing. Cinematography by Vishnu Sharma and Gnana Shekhar VS is well-executed. The production values by TG Vishwaprasad are commendable.
Conclusion :
‘Maname’ is a feel-good emotional family drama that succeeds in delivering emotional and heartwarming moments. Despite some slow and routine sequences, the film’s strong concept, emotional depth, and captivating performances by Sharwanand and Kriti Shetty elevate it. Their chemistry is particularly outstanding. Overall, ‘Maname’ is a pleasing film for the family audience.
