Evaluation
“Mangalavaaram,” like Ajay Bhupathi’s first movie “RX 100,” encompasses a feminine protagonist who will not be your typical Indian heroine. On this movie, Ajay Bhupathi took it a step additional by making his heroine endure from a dysfunction, which no different Indian actress had dared to take action earlier than. That is distinctive.
The director additionally throws in two extra surprises: a beforehand unpublicised actor and the damaging facet of an surprising character. The second half of the movie is jam-packed with all these surprises.
Ajay Bhupathi has not solely saved the primary half of the movie quick, however he has additionally averted introducing the movie’s heroine Payal Rajput completely. She arrives proper on time for the intermission. He used the primary hour to set the stage for the primary story.
The primary drama occurs within the final 30 or 40 minutes.
“Mangalavaaram” seems to be each a daring try and an unconvincing effort as a result of, whereas some twists and turns are fairly good, many others seem compelled.
Before everything, the movie depicts Payal Rajput as a sufferer of a dysfunction. Nevertheless, earlier than revealing details about her dysfunction, Payal is introduced in such a means that she lacks character. When her dysfunction is revealed, the viewers feels sympathy for her.
So as to add extra twists to the story, the director introduces one other surprising actor, whose character is actually attention-grabbing and attracts us in. However within the ultimate moments, he pulls up one other twist a few character, the primary villain, which is attention-grabbing however unconvicing.
What works within the movie is Ajay Bhupathi’s try in making a temper concerning the village’s darkish secrets and techniques. However to maintain our curiosity till the final forty minutes of the story, he makes an attempt to current the movie partly as a horror thriller, partly as an emotional drama, and likewise as a revenge drama. Thus, it turns into overstuffed.
‘Kantara’ music director Ajaneesh emerges because the movie’s fundamental power and Ajay Bhupathi deserves reward for restraint in displaying the “key” scenes involving Payal’s character.
General, “Mangalavaaram” is neither a supernatural thriller nor a titillating love story like “RX100” however it has sure parts which can be utterly totally different from the common motion pictures. Terrific background rating, some twists and turns have labored in its favour however the power of the movie lies completely within the final half-hour.
