Director Ahmed, who completely captivated the viewer with the well written and aesthetically executed ‘Endrendrum Punnagai’ has sadly managed a much less engaging ‘Manithan’ and maybe he lost it in translation. While we can appreciate him for making a clean film with a strong message consisting more than a few good scenes the uneven pacing and inconsistent characterizations prevent it from working as a whole.
Verdict : You can watch ‘Manithan’ as it is completely free of vulgarity and obscenity and for showing the plight of the platform dwellers.
