Six friends are drinking together at night. Suddenly, a conflict arises between them. One of them dies unexpectedly. The others decide to bury his body without anyone knowing and escape from the problem. ‘Manithargal’ is an attempt to tell the story of what kind of ending their decision led to.
Kapil Velan, Daksha, Arjun Dev Saravanan, Gunavandhan, and Sambasivam, who play the main characters of the story, have acted with emotion.
They have perfectly expressed the human mentality in their performances, with some acting a little too much and expressing their fear and anxiety due to an unexpected event, while some are preparing to face the problem without any anxiety.
Cinematographer Ajay Abraham George has done a very challenging job of capturing certain faces and the entire night. However, the fact that it continues throughout the film gives the audience a headache at some point. However, the way the cinematographer has shot the scenes in natural light, car and street lights is amazing.
The background music in the music by composer Anilesh L. Mathew has done a good job of conveying the fear and anxiety of the characters to the audience.
Although the story takes place at night, the entire story takes place in dark areas and there are many opportunities to move slowly, such as traveling with the same characters, but editor Tinsa has tried to make the film move a little more interesting by combining the scenes as much as he can.
Written and directed by Ram Indira, he has tried to tell the crime suspense thriller genre in a very simple way and at the same time from a different perspective. However, his different attempt has turned out to be a great weakness for the film.
The entire film is dark, the same faces, and the same discussions between them about the same thing, the story traveling in one place really tests the patience of the audience.
If a subject that should have been shot as a short film and a trailer is shot as a full-length film, only by using some strategies for the film can the audience be satisfied. But without any of that, this crime thriller story that the director has told using night time and a few people is a complete mess.
