Unfortunately Nandita Das's sophomore directorial venture Manto serves neither as a primer on the (in)famous author, nor offers any deeper insight to those familiar with his oeuvre.
"Manto" is elegant and old school, epic without losing sight of the personal.
Captures the spirit of the great Urdu poet and writer.
Manto is an engrossing experience and one that finds itself perhaps more relevant today than it might've been even ten years ago.
The maestro Zakir Hussain provides an intricate background score, one that is occasionally highlighted by a discordant, drunken sitar twang. This sense of intoxication informs the visuals as well.
As Manto, Siddiqui is at the top of his game, embodying his mannerisms and body language, but even he cannot make up for the flaws in the script.
