What is a film set in a village without quips and naughty commentary on the covert affairs between men and women? The song ‘Appadappada Thaandra’ from ‘Mangalavaaram’, set to tune by Ajaneesh Loknath and written by Ganesh A, follows a unique pattern in making gossip about stealthy affairs seem like art.
Choreographer Bhanu lets the men, especially Tharun Bhascker (in a guest role) and Laxman, exude child-like enthusiasm. Rahul Sipligunj, one of the most energetic singers out there, completes the show with aplomb.
The rural action thriller is led by Payal Rajput. Director Ajay Bhupathi of ‘RX 100’ fame is set to offer us umpteen themes if the trailer and the three songs released so far are anything to infer from.
Nandita Swetha, Ajay Ghosh and several others will be seen in supporting/negative roles. “This is a dark thriller with a difference. Strong nativity, editing and sound design were kept in mind while making it,” the makers said recently.
Produced by Bhupathi himself on A Creative Works and the Swathi Gunupati-Suresh Varma M duo on Mudhra Media Works, the film will head to theatres in Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam) on November 17.
