In the gritty heart of Mankhurd, an eastern suburb in Mumbai, Maharashtra, a poignant and unflinching political drama unfolds, exploring the unbreakable bond between a father and daughter, the devastating consequences of wrongful accusations, and the stark reality of police brutality. Mankhurd paints a harrowing portrait of a struggling single father and his young daughter, caught in a web of injustice when they are falsely implicated in a terrorist plot. The story delves into the depths of their resilience, the unwavering love they share, and their unwavering fight for truth amidst a society plagued by prejudice and power imbalances.
Both Methagu Raja and Sowndarya Manohar, who play the two lead characters, have delivered powerhouse performances. The sound design, seamlessly interwoven with an evocative background score, elevates the narrative to new heights. This harmonious interplay between audio and visuals is complemented by Vishwa's stunning cinematography and Priyan Prasad's crisp editing, creating a truly immersive and captivating experience for the viewer.
Overall, a fantastic effort from Praveen Giri and team.
