Cast: J Suresh, Sruthy Lakshmi, Ramesh Kanna, KK, Aarthi, Ravi Prakash, PanduDirection: J SureshGenre: DramaDuration: 2 hours 5 minutes
Mannar Mannan aka King ( J Suresh) leads a charmed life with no job and zero responsibility. He is so fond of his sister's son Vimal. One day, Vimal is kidnapped which leaves King's family devastated. Prodded by his dad, King goes on a search to find the missing boy.
Movie Review: Paraseega Mannan seeks to shed light on the serious issue of child trafficking but goes about the job in such a ham-fisted manner, totally diluting the gravity of the issue. Suresh, who directed the Madhavan-starrer Ennavale and Mammootty's Junior Senior, doesn't seem to have learned any lessons from his previous failures and exhibits an indifference to the subject that is quite astonishing. Even if you are willing to forgive the thematic naivete, the director further lets you down by displaying no flair for narrative structure or characterization, making the film a dreadful watch.
Scenes begin and end abruptly with no noticeable effort taken to ensure continuity in terms of characterization or narration. Even important scenes like Vimal's kidnapping and its impact on the family are handled clumsily. And, the romantic track is cringe-worthy. King takes an interest in Sruthy (Sruthy), a teacher in Vimal's school, and after a couple of scenes, we see him literally on top of her at her house!
Coming to the child trafficking angle,
