I am so excited that one of my most favourite bollywood actress 'Gul Panag' is coming after a long break. She was last seen in a strong headed muslim lady Zeenat's character in film 'Dor' and now she is coming with another talented actor Abhay Deol who has proved his metal in Rafta Rafta and Aik chaalis ki last local.
The story of Manorama six feet under sounds very 'hatke' then the majority of the run of the mill flicks that the industry churns out every friday, I hope the film will also work big time, as today's audience is ready and keen to watch different kind of cinema. Homage to the noir genre, Manorama Six Feet Under is about an amateur detective in a small town who finds himself caught in a web of lies, deceit and murder.
SV (Abhay Deol) is a government engineer but his real ambition has always been writing detective fiction. Unfortunately, his maiden attempt, a novel called Manorama, sank without a trace and he has been reduced to writing for cheap pulp magazines.
Stifled by the dreariness of small town existence and frustrated by his failure, SV's life takes a turn when the wife of a powerful local politician arrives at his doorstep with an irresistible offer; the chance for SV to play a real life detective by spying on her husband. Intrigued and tempted by the opportunity to redeem his self worth, SV accepts.
Upon completion of his assignment, things take a turn when SV discovers that the woman is not who she claims to be. The situation get further complicated when she is killed in a mysterious accident.
Sensing foul play, SV begins investigating her death only to discover that nothing is what it seems to be and that redemption doesn't come easy.
