Manmatha Movie Review (1 Reviews)
This remake of Malayalam film Kunjikkoonan (2002) starring Dileep has
also justified the risk taken by Jaggesh, allowing him to explore
hidden facets of his personality, which translates into some fine
acting.
As Surya, the hot-headed college lover boy, Jaggesh is a laugh for he is no Vijayakanth and the audience is not as passionate as our neighbours are. But as Puttaswamy aka Manmatha, Jaggesh shows what dedication and conviction can do to an actor. His trademark dialogues and mannerisms are bare essentials as the actor allows the character to get overall control.
Gurlin Chopra has a meaty role and manages to meet the requirements of the director. Komal has a nice long role and makes the most of it. Sad that his talents are used only to cater to a particular type of audience.
The music is melodious but the songs fail to make an impact. Camerawork complements the script well and is not relegated to just providing some eye-candy (no pun intended). Looks like the letter M is working wonders for Jaggesh, the actor.
