I saw this movie today. I don't know the story before. Usually I have a principle that if a movie is good, it should make you interested within 10 minutes from start. But this movie, I forgot myself after 2 minutes. I realized me after the end.Great story. No double meaning dialogues, hero punches, item songs, fights, but the movie makes you glued till the end. Every one done their role good. Samantha is excellent from the intro. She is a girl with great emotions. Mr. Nageswara Rao sir is great. Unfortunately, this is his last movie. This movie pulls off well with Nagarjuna family. It makes you feel real with the movie. Hats off to the director and the writer. Every character is excellent. Screenplay is very tight and good till the end. Unexpected interval and Excellent climax. Nice intro for Akhil who only has the real name in the movie. I wish great success to Mr. Nageswara Rao family in the future too.Please watch the movie with your family. You will love it.

I thought this movie was going to be a good start but average finishing like. But i was lucky to be proved wrong. Another must see Film seen by me.Thanks the story writer and producer. i wont blame you guys if one day i find this movie as a imitation from any other movies. you guys really did a great job staging such screenplay.plot selections,dialogue,casting everything were perfect!

Lets give them a big clap. we wish every year you people come with such emotional movies and mesmerize us for 2 and half hours. Thanks all of the team. we are looking forward to your next production.

I liked this film and it was wonderful to see a legend, ANR for the last time on silver screen.The screenplay, though inspired is well written to adapt to the nativity of Telugu audiences. Thankfully, I did not take my brain inside the movie theater, so I just went with the flow and reacted for whatever was happening, without thinking anything. So I could appreciate some genuine feelings which made me feel for the characters.Produced by Akkineni Family, this films uses many things about them, from their names to fitting whole of the family in a frame. Nagarjuna as a surprise acted well and was the best among the lot. He showcased his skills very effortlessly and he just went along with the flow. I cannot remember even one dialog which I thought was out of place or uncalled for. Dialogues between ANR and Naga Chaitanya were a bit overboard I felt.The film is not devoid of flaws, it has some huge and big holes. But, all those can be forgiven if the sheer effort of writing down this piece and putting all the pieces together are considered. Nagarjuna again proved to be a good producer who wishes to take challenges and it was heartening to see this script having such a huge cast. It's an experiment in Telugu Film Industry and I am happy it has paid off. It involves multiple flashbacks and the same people wearing different characters. It would have been really tough had this been complicated. This was a very simplified and spoon-fed screenplay and that's the reason I believe it worked. Of all the stories that were put in, I liked the story of Seeta (Nagarjuna) and Rama (Shriya) in the village. That was a real treat in the film. A 3/5 for a film that I liked and I hope to see such endeavors being encouraged in Telugu Film Industry.Just a spoiler, please watch the film "Back To The Future" which I believe is a huge inspiration for this film.

Manam: Its a perfect befitting farewell to ANR. Right from the first frame to end, Manam is a sure shot entertainer and it entertains you to the core. It is a beautiful and youthful love story that involves rebirth (cosmic balance) as well. What to say about Nag, right from the roles as industrialist, rich landlord and as poor farmer he had immersed perfectly in these roles and has done a impeccable job. He did these roles with so ease like the way he has done for annamayya, ramadasu & shirdi sai.He once again proved that he is a George Clooney of Tollywood.ANR's role is so pivotal in the movie, What can I say about him.100 years cinema History lo 70 years athanide. We should feel proud to have him. The scenes between, ANR, Nag & Chaitanya are the best ever I saw. From the time ANR brought the industry to Hyd to Nag taking it further on to a new age cinema, this is what I called a great Journey. The only sad thing is ANR is not alive to see all this celebration. Thank you Vikram Kumar for showing us entire Akkineni Family in a single frame. There is a standing Ovation at the end in the theater I saw, which I doubt ever happens for a tollywood film. PS Vinod's brilliant cinematography and Anup Rubens' background score are riveting. Lastly one thing I can say is a small, simple & perfect cameo, debut from Akhil AkKineni. #ANRLivesOn #Manam #DejaVu #KingIsBack.
