Akkineni family four generation actors Akkineni Nageswara Rao, Nagarjuna, Naga Chaitanya & Akkineni Akhil shared screen space for the first time in a family entertainer. The movie is special to the family as it happens to be the last outing of Akkineni Nageswara Rao. ANR mesmerized everyone with his performance in the film. Nagarjuna and Naga Chaitanya delivered their career best performances in this film. Nagarjuna grows on everyone with his role. In the female leads its Samantha who has more screen time than Shriya Saran. Samantha plays a dual role in the film as a mother and bubbly girl Priya shows perfect variations in the two roles. Shriya Saran looks ravishing in her character. Akhil Akkineni makes a rocking appearance in the climax. The rest of the characters Rishi Khanna, Neetu Chandra, Amala, Lavanya Tripati Cameo's are good. Superstar Amitabh Bachchan surprising cameo is fun.

Manam Review - Techinical Team

The film is a period drama which spans between 1940, 1983 and present scenario with reincarnation angle in it and is based on the concept of endless love. Screenplay of the film has a solid feel; the first half of the film is cool and meets every expectation provided with the teasers. But second half of the film drops its pace post interval and picks up the pace just before the climax. Music Director Anup Rubens provided soothing audio to the film and elevated the tempo of the film with his background score. Cinematography of the film by Vinod is magical, he was successful in differentiating the time frames. Praveen Pudi editing is proficient for the film. Dialogues by Hashavardhan are simple and suited every scene. ART director deserves a special applause. Annapurna Banner production values are rich.

Manam Review - Analysis

Manam, Vikram Kumar's latest film is different from the recent films released in Tollywood. Positives of the film are Lead Performances, Anup Rubens, Cinematography, Akhil Akkineni and Conclusion. On the flip side dragged second half and forced comedy. On the whole, Manam is one of the best films that emerged out of Telugu cinema in a long time. Make sure you put down Manam on your to do list this weekend.
