Mangalavaaram’s TV debut happened recently. The film from the redoubtable ‘RX 100’ director Ajay Bhupathi amassed a TRP of 8.3. The impressive Television Rating Points are all the more staggering when you think of the film’s limitations in terms of not featuring a male lead. Content is the biggest crowd-puller and the track record of ‘Mangalvaaram’ amply proves the same.
Audiences are enamored with the narrative rhythm of the film, Payal Rajput’s acting talent, and the inherent strengths it possesses.
Produced by Swathi Gunupati and Suresh Varma of Mudhra Media Works, the film has been loved by the female audience as much as the males. “There is social commentary on how a society that cannot move beyond menstrual taboos, can ever understand a more specific form of female trauma,” a critic said upon the movie’s release in November last year. This holds.
With music by Ajaneesh B Loknath of ‘Kantara’ and ‘Virupaksha’ fame, the film’s cinematography is by Dasaradhi Sivendra.
