The parents of childhood buddies Sooraj (Sundeep Kishan) and Nithya (Amyra), arrange their wedding. Since they never saw themselves in that way other than being friends, they run away to Goa without informing their parents.
In Goa, Nithya starts teaching meditation classes and enjoys watching the beautiful nature. Sooraj, on the other hand, tries his hand at photography.
Initially, he botches up a photography assignment for an ad shoot but he discovers himself when he gets humiliated.
He starts liking Nikitha (Tridha Chowdharyy) who joins Nithyas meditation class and Nithya falls for the charms of Abbayi (Adith), the owner of Goas guest house. What happens next is anybodys guess.
Analysis:-
Some films make the job of a viewer tough You cannot sit through the movie and you cant runway. Manjula Ghattamanenis debut film is a classic example of this.
The story of two childhood buddies slowly realising that they actually love each other deeply is as old as Goa beach and it has been explored in many films including the blockbuster Nuvve Kaavali. Sadly, director Manjula has not added any dimension to this cliched story. Even sadder is that she tells this in a sleep inducing way from the very first scene.
The much hyped aspect of Mahesh Babus voice over as nature is just a marketing gimmick. His voice is heard in the beginning of the movie with random shots of beautiful forest, sunset and other elements of nature. It doesnt add any value to the story or screenplay.
From the first scene itself, the movie runs in cliched and outdated manner with boring dialogues.
The first half of the movie happens in Goa with Amrya Dastur attracting Arun Adith and Sundeep Kishan enticing Tridha Chowdhary. These sequences are handled in a lousy way. Just before the interval, two songs come within a gap of two minutes, exactly two minutes.
The second half is focussed on how Sundeep Kishan realizes his love for Amrya which is told in the silliest manner.
The film never gives any respite in any manner. It is one of the most hackneyed romantic dramas.
Except for Ravi Yadavs cinematography, nothing warrants praise here. Manjula as director only showcases immaturity.
Overall, Manasuku Nachhindi is another forgettable movie for its hero Sundeep Kishan and for the general audiences, it gives nothing but headache.
