The real beauty of ‘Manam’ lies in multi layered concept weaved so simply for a neat presentation on screen. Of course, the characters and their naming with the original names of Akkineni family heroes just interchanged showed the brilliance of director Vikram Kumar. Film connects more with the Telugu hearts because death of ANR is so close to us and definitely the positive side is he is going to reborn in the same family very soon. The kind of feel and perfect lines penned for ANR’s character of Chaitanya rises a doubt that the legendary actor very well knew ‘Manam’ is going to be his last movie for sure.
Relations bonded with Love are everlasting. One might die or miss from the family for different reasons only to revolve in another form. The sort of performance ANR has put in and the nature of script made by Vikram Kumar are coincidentally pointing towards a common inference, ANR is still in our hearts and we are not going to miss him.
