So in 'Manorama 6 Feet Under' nothing is indeed as it seems. Director Navdeep Singh stays with his sub-heading 'In the desert nothing is as it seems'. The writing is clever, the visuals are impressive and the performances are very good. In one scene you even see Chinatown playing on TV. 'Manorama 6 Feet Under' is clearly an inspiration of 'Chinatown'. I did, however, deduct a point in my rating simply because the story wasn't exactly an original.though fortunately it was different enough from "Chinatown" that it's still very worth watching.Īfter 'Johnny Gaddaar' here's another amazing thriller. Well worth seeing and stylistically, a film that non-Bollywood fans might find more familiar and approachable.
It has a very complicated plot that very slowly unfolds as well as a few surprised here and there.the sorts of things that make a thriller like this one work well. Overall, a very fascinating film.albeit a tad slow. Even in gangster films, I've seen song and dance numbers.and I think the lack of these scenes helps "Manorama Six Feet Under" to be more tense and realistic. I did notice, though, that unlike most Indian films we get here in the States, there are none of the usual musical numbers. I am no expert on Indian films, though I have seen a couple hundred more or less. I am mentioning these in case you dislike violent films.the film certainly is, but not gratuitously so.
At least they didn't slice his nose apart as they did in the American film! There also is a bit of a body count through the course of the story. Based on what we see of her, Satyaveer is now a lucky man! What's next? And what sort of conspiracy is afoot? And what does the new canal project have to do with all this? Like "Chinatown", this film is a bit violent and, at times, hard to watch-especially when the goons break Satyaveer's fingers. She's sick of him working on this case as well as his suspension. In the meantime, Satyaveer's bitter wife has left him. But he knows it cannot be, and so Satyaveer continues investigating the case. However, he soon learns she's NOT the man's wife! And, there's obviously something serious going on here, as a couple goons soon beat the stuffing out of Satyaveer AND the fake wife turns up dead.and it's declared a suicide. He sneaks into the man's compound and snaps a few photos of the man with a young woman.and he then gives him to the wife. Apparently, she thinks her husband, the Irrigation Minister, is cheating on her. While awaiting his review and possible return to the force, a woman comes to him.asking him to do some detecting work. Apparently, his recent bribe was noticed by the powers that be.though according to this and MANY Indian movies I've seen, policemen taking bribes is pretty much the norm. When the story begins, Satyaveer has been suspended from his job as a policeman. Indian movies that are inspired by foreign films, or outright copies, are pretty common. "Manorama Six Feet Under" is a film inspired by "Chinatown".
