With Oka Vichitram and Vaishali movies, he recognized by Telugu audience very well. He recently impressed as a villain in Sarainodu. He is trying to impress the audience as a hero once again with dubbing film, Marakathamani. Let us see how the movie??

Story-line:

Raghunandan (Aadi Pinnisetty) is bankrupt and he is doing small smuggling activities with his friends to come out of the debt trap. One fine day, he gets an offer of 10 Crore from a China man to get ‘Marakathamani’. But then, Marakathamani has the history of killing those who touches it. But Raghunandan is hell bent on getting it. Rest of the story is if he succeeds in this adventure and if he gets out of his debts.

Performances:

Aadi Pinnisetty for the first time has appeared in a full fun role and managed to pull it off effortlessly.Nikki Galrani, Gopi, and Ramdoss have got crucial roles. Especially ramboss killed the comedy scenes. Nikki Galrani has got a different role and she did a good job. The chemistry between the lead pair should have been handled well. Veteran villain Anand Raj is impressive as Don Twinkle Ramanadham. Rest of the characters are okay in their roles.

Analysis:

ARK Sarvanan the director has done a good job by selecting a good story with a novel concept. The screenplay is also impressive. The movie has a different concept and he made the movie with mixing of fun elements. Initially, the proceedings are slow but once the story begins, it will be a fun ride. There are instances of logic going for a toss but then, this kind of fantasy stories will have such exceptions. 

Technical Values:

Dhibu Nainan Thomas's Music and PV Shankar Camera work have complimented the film.The dialogues in Telugu version could have been better Production Values are appropriate.

Thumbs Up:

- Concept

- Comedy

- Direction

- Cinematography

Thumbs Down:

- Few logics

- First 30 minutes

Final Verdict:

Marakathamani is a Decent Comedy Thriller. First half is okay and the movie is interesting once the characters are established. The second half is full of entertainment and humor. The hunt for Marakathamani and saving his life after getting that will be interesting. The Pre-Climax and Climax sequences are interesting keeping the audience engrossed. 

Overall, the movie is one time watchable.
