…a well-intentioned film that wears its message brazenly. It’s an important story that deserves to be heard.

It’s limitations albeit, Manjunath is one film that should be watched. Just to remind us of that one tale of courage if not for its cinematic value. Having said that, director Sandeep Varma should be applauded for making a film that is true to the subject and not sensationalized.

This film is more about experiencing hope than it is about paying attention to the technical aspects and the unfortunate socio-political climate that prevails around us makes it a must-watch.

Manjunath is a lesson in humanity we all need at the moment.

Once a while there comes along a man who genuinely wants to change the world we live in. Manjunath is the hard hitting conscientious story of one one braveheart who tried to make a difference. And paid with his life. Manjunath’s valorous story had to be told. The director pieces together Manjunath’s story like Orson Welles’ Citizen Kane.

Good story aside, the actors have performed well. Overall, a must-watch. Get inspired by the story of a man standing up for what was right.

…documents the story of Manjunath Shanmugam in a life-like way. It is realistic, brave and powerful. Watch it!

You feel for this young lad whose life was brutally snuffed out for doing what he was supposed to do and refusing to take a bribe and the easy way out. He chose to walk the narrow path.

Manjunath, the film, fortunately doesn’t gloss over facts. Even at risk of sacrificing on the aesthetic front, director Sandeep A Varma tries to bring out the harsh reality of the story that led to the killing of this 27-year-old IIM graduate.

This is not a hero film. This is a movie about one guy who made a choice to tell the truth. Nothing more, nothing less. His is a story that has to be heard, to ensure that Manjunath’s life wasn’t spent in vain. Watch this film and let the story carry you.
