What happens

Manu is a 2018 Indian Telugu language experimental romantic art film directed by debutant Phanindra Narsetti. The film stars Raja Goutham and Chandini Chowdary. The film, banked on crowdfunding, released to average reviews. However, the film is praised for its unique story-telling, direction, production design, music, colour correction, costumes, but criticised the film's excessive length, unnecessary detailing.
