The best part is that Manjunath is not played by a known Bollywood face. There’s enough, in the way the film begins, to keep us engaged.

Manjunath is a story that needs to be told in a time when corruption
has seeped into every tiny crevice of our society. We wish the effort
was more hard hitting than its attractive posters.

There is no doubt Manjunath’s gruesome murder left the country in deep shock. But the film turns a bit lethargic. It seems more of a case study.
