Manorathangal Review

Friends, the movies coming from the Malayalam industry both impress and attract people because most of the content of their movies is top class but in the case of web series they are not that strong, it does not mean that every show of theirs is bad. Very rarely do they come up with good shows; other shows do not attract that much. However, I was very excited about ZEE5's new show Manorathangal.

Now, why was I SO EXCITED? Because this show features Mammootty Sir, Mohanlal Sir, Fahad Fazil, and Kamal Hassan Sir all together!

Now for this reason I started the show and watched it completely. Now let me share with you what was my experience.

Well, friends, Manorathangal is an anthology show, which means that you will get to see different stories in each episode which will have no relation to each other. The number of episodes in this show is 9, which means that you will get to see nine different stories whose length Varies from 45 to 55 minutes.

  • Surabhi Lakshmi as Beevathu
  • Fahadh Faasil as Balu

Manorathangal Web Series Review

If I want to review Manorathangal for you in one word, I would just say that it is interesting but this show is not for everyone.

See, if you are a mass audience, which means you want entertainment, thrill, twists, turns, and spice in the show, then leave the dream of watching this show because this show does not come in any category, this show is a drama show which is based on human emotion. So if you are interested then definitely watch the show otherwise this show is going to be a boring ride for you.

Also, the pacing of the show is very slow. If you are thinking that things will happen quickly then sorry boss, it is not so with this show.

If you're looking for a more disappointing web series experience, check out my review on Heeramandi: Worthless for Me.

Apart from this, I liked the intro music of the show, however, the BGM heard throughout the show was also okay.

Kamal Hassan sir unfortunately is not in any episode but he narrates every episode so his narration looks good but not in Hindi.

All the actors did a fantastic job. With such a talented cast, the performances are bound to be good, right?

Conclusion

All in all, it is a feel-good type of drama show that is not for everyone, especially not for the masses.

If you follow parental guidance, the show is very neat and clean, you don't get to see any vulgarity.

Hindi dubbing is poor, meaning it is not garbage but it should have been better.
