Telugu version of Kalki on ETV WinDespite not being a box office success, the movie gave audiences a rush, thanks to the fierce performances of antagonist Shivajith Padmanabhan and protagonist Tovino. Now that people are looking for Kalki 2898 AD frantically, it is becoming more and more popular online. With the tagline "He's the man of action, He's the man of people," ETV Win announced that its Telugu version was now available for streaming on its social media platforms. Meanwhile, the Malayalam movie is accessible on ZEE5.
Despite the presence of a police station, Amarnath held the power of law, and the officers were not able to stop him. A nameless SI (referred to as "K") arrives at Nanchenkotta in the interim. After rallying the other police, K begins removing Amarnath's goons through illegal means, which causes the majority of the goons to alter their tactics.
K goes to Appu's illegal gun manufacturing facility and gives him a threat to close it down. The central mystery of the film is whether or not K will succeed in bringing about peace in Nanchenkotta by winning over Amarnath.
First things first, Mangalavaaram is an extremely 'engaging' film. Everything is sensationalised in this rural mystery drama and it barely gives you time to breathe. Something or the other is always happening in the film; people are either dying, having promiscuous relationships, looking to rat out said promiscuous relationships, or trying to find the reasons for the murders of people having promiscuous relationships. Well, there are as many illicit affairs in this village as the coconut trees in the picturesque background.
Ajneesh Loknath's score is energetic and relentless, underlining and exaggerating every tiny moment, with the decibel levels hitting the roof for the more conventionally dramatic moments. Managalavaram has to be one of the loudest movies I have seen this year and mind you, this is the year that gave us Veera Simha Reddy and Skanda. And since the story is narrated in such a sensational, exaggerated tone, we are rarely given the time to think and process, and naturally, the film keeps us engaged from start to finish. There's no room for calmness or dullness here. Managalavaram is certainly an engaging film but is it a good film? That's something we need to examine.
Early on in Mangalavaaram, after introducing us to the childhood story of Shailu and Ravi, on a Tuesday night in 1996, we see the awakening of a force with two eyes being opened. We then get a POV shot of a force lurking on the streets of the sleepy village, with glimpses of a deity-like figure running on the street; we also see a black dog (the children in the backstory rescue a dog) running on the same street. We know that the stage is set for a mysterious and possibly supernatural story. Soon after, when we learn that mysterious deaths are taking place in the village, there's naturally some curiosity. It's this curiosity that holds our attention for the most part of the first half, which, culminates in an interval twist that's predictable but still effective. The intended horror effect works best when this 'force' or 'mystery' is teased in the first half but as we begin to unravel, the tension and the stakes begin to die down. I also believe that films like Mangalavaaram are tricky to market because when the film's biggest star, Payal Rajput, doesn't make an appearance until the halfway mark, we start to suspect that her character is the central piece of the puzzle. And the film clearly falls for this pitfall.
The first half of the film, despite all its issues, is engaging. Sure, it's not sophisticated in its storytelling although there are attempts. For instance, a close-up of a child's face dissolves into the evening sky, with the moon appearing on her forehead for briefly; it's a cool transition although it doesn't particularly add anything to the story. A doctor saying, "Next" is used to jump to another conversation between two different characters in the next scene. There are some thought-out moments, but the flaws or let's say creative choices that didn't sit well with me, are way too many.
The humour is incredibly crass, with Ajay Ghosh (who plays an unnamed villager in the film) passing way too many nasty remarks at women. I understand the setting of the film and one doesn't expect characters to sound like woke millennials on Twitter, but the problem here is with the utility of the character. The crude remarks are only used to milk humour, not to serve the story or add to its milieu. Once again, the film represents a flawed village and people with a regressive attitude, but does the film address it? Not really. Virupaksha, for instance, was a film that questioned the wrongdoings of an entire village, pointing out their herd mentality. There's no such depth in Mangalavaaram because the writing is content getting characters like Ghosh's villager crack toilet jokes.
