Nowadays, viewers do not run behind only spicy entertainment. Sometimes a straightforward story, without any flarening, without any item number, takes home in the heart of the audience. “Mannu Kya Kare Kare” is one of those films-which comes silently, gradually descends into the heart and then a corner there surrounds it forever.
This is not a ‘film’ film. It has no superhero, nor big villain. This is the story like us, of a common man like you-there are many questions in life, but the answers are gradually come on their time. And perhaps this is its biggest quality.
This story, situated in Dehradun, is of Manav Chaturvedi aka Mannu (Vyom Yadav) – a boy who is carefree, happy and friendly from outside, but very complicated from inside. Mannu’s biggest problem is popular, cheerful and always ready to help others in college – he does not know what he needs from life.
Then he meets Jia (Sachi Bindra) – who is self -sufficient, full of life and life. The friendship of both, then love, and more than that – Mannu’s search for his identity – this is the soul of the film.

The direction of Sanjay Tripathi is very balanced and honest. He has introduced the story very carefully, without any overdose emotion or dramaticness. There are many scenes that say a lot without dialogues. Especially Mannu’s silence, his thinking eyes – the audience touches the inside.
Vyom Yadav is a very simple actor. The maturity with which he has played Mannu in the debut film is Kaabil-e-Praise. He has lived with great truth about his innocence, confusion and spiritual change. He will soon create his own distinct identity in the industry.
Sachi Bindra has played Jia’s character with freshness and self -confidence. She is not just a ‘heroine’ – the light of the life of Jiya Mannu’s life becomes. The chemistry of both of them will be liked by the audience. Artists like Vinay Pathak, Kumud Mishra, Rajesh Kumar, Charu Shankar, and Brijendra Kala have also performed their share beautifully. Especially Vinay Pathak’s character is said to be a deep thing with lightness in the film.

The music of the film is its soul. No song in the album of nine songs seems to be ‘filler’-every song gives deepening the feelings at some point in the story. No less – absolutely accurate.
Dehradun’s litigants, the calm atmosphere of the hills and the small town’s sweetness – the cinematography of the film is very beautiful. Editing also maintains the speed of the film. There is no visible scene, nor anything incomplete. The script written by Saurabh Gupta and Radhika Malhotra is very full of truth. Dialogues are like you speak in Marra’s life every day.
Mannu Kya Kare Karena, produced by Curius Oy Films, is a film that makes you think – whether we all are not entangled like Mannu at some time? This film is an experience – emotional, inspiring and extremely personal. Look alone or with family – but definitely look.
