Wikipedia article
'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 crowd funding, 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.

Release
A critic from 'The Hindu' wrote that "If only it had been less indulgent, 'Manu' would have been worthwhile". A critic from 'The Times of India' gave the film two-and-a-half out of five stars and wrote that "'Manu' had all the ingredients to be a rewarding experience, though it falls short of being one". A critic from 'Sify' gave the film a rating of one-and-three-quarters out of five and wrote that "'Manu', a thriller, is full of abstract ideas and surrealistic moments. It definitely has style and good technical values but it also is absurd and is boring". A critic from 'Deccan Chronicle' gave the film two out of five stars and noted that "An interesting plot and good screenplay could have perhaps salvaged this film. While Manu starts off on a promising note, the director hasnt been able to see it through till the end".
