OMG (O Manchi Ghost) Movie: Technicians Review

O Manchi Ghost story readied by Shankar Marthand is a comedy flick with horror backdrop. Many films have tackled similar themes before, but Shankar Marthand aimed to be different by portraying the ghost in a positive light. The proceedings start slowly with routine scenes and dialogues, and other actors take center stage while viewers eagerly await the introduction of Vennela Kishore.

Shankar Marthand attempts to evoke laughs by introducing various characters such as Rajat Ragava, Shakalaka Shankar, Navami Gayak, Naveen Neni, Nandita Swetha, and others. The entry of Vennela Kishore heightens interest, and the comedy scenes involving Vennela Kishore and Shakalaka Shankar entertain the audience.

A well-planned flashback episode could have significantly elevated the film. Despite this, Shankar Marthand does a decent job with the story, screenplay, and direction. With a bit more fine-tuning of the script, additional twists, and more hilarious dialogues, the film could have reached another level. The dialogues are satisfactory, with some being particularly entertaining.

Anup Rubens' songs are just okay, but he makes an impression with his background score, which elevates the scenes. Andrew Babu's cinematography makes the film visually appealing. MR. Varma's editing is acceptable but could have been much better, as many scenes disrupt the flow. The production values are decent.
