Rating: 2.25/5

Story:

Bhujangaiah (Prakash Raj), who intends to get his daughter married quickly, enters into an argument with his family and moves out  of the house in anger. He gets drunk fully and hires a prostitute (Priyamani) for the night. 

He brings her to a place and asks his auto driver Shiva (Satyadev) to lock him from outside and come back after an hour. But meanwhile, Shiva gets arrested, leaving Bhujangaiah in a tricky situation. How did Bhujangaiah come out it, without getting caught by anyone, is what forms the rest of the story.

Analysis:

The first 15 minutes of the film is quite slow, as the story takes a lot of time to establish the characters. The entire film has a thrilling element as the proceedings get quite interesting for most of the time. The interval block and second half of the film are decent.

The film is handled mostly in the dark shade. So the audience expecting healthy comedy and other commercial elements will have to face the disappointment. All the scenes in the combination of Priyamani and Prakash Raj are attractive. Unlike the story sounding adultery, there is absolutely no obscenity in the film.

Performance:

Prakash Raj once again comes up with a promising performance. The various emotions he showcased in the film like anger, stress and guilt, goes well with the audience. Priyamani does her job quite well. Unlike earlier, she only gave what the character need and did not go overboard. 30 years Pruthvi is one of the major highlights of the film. His role as a frustrated director creates loud laughs.

Ilayaraja's background score is on the top notch and it smoothens the proceedings. Camera work is decent, showcasing the village quite well. The screenplay is handled well. It shows that Prakash Raj took care of every minute detail. Not dragging any point too much, the proceedings end on a crisp note.

Finally:

Mana Oori Ramayanam is an out of the box film, which suits those, willing to watch new kind of screenplay, unlike the regular commercial films.
