'Manickyam' tells a forlorn tale of love, as it follows its protagonist Kunjumanickyam) despondently wading through troubled waters infested with swirling emotional undercurrents. Narrated at a lethargic pace, 'Manickyam' does not break fresh ground with its tale; neither does it offer unsullied insights.
Married to Krishnan Muthalali (Ajaya Ghosh), Manickyam (Sree Laya) leads a dejected existence. She feels invariably ignored by her husband, and is charmed by the gentle manners of Kumaran Writer (Sahil Sunil). Manickyam realizes that their forbidden love can only be headed over for doom, unless Krishnan Muthalali is wiped off their plot. However, her plans go for a toss, when Kumaran Writer unearths a truth about her husband, that he had buried long back and had left for forgotten.
Moving ahead with a snail's swiftness, 'Manickyam' is a tale that takes its own time to unfurl the story that it intends to tell. Many a time slow paced films do leave an impact with the story gradually gaining hold over the viewer, but in 'Manickyam' there are no such big disclosures in store that will leave them terrifically moved.
Manickyam meets a Desdamonaisque end, and the letter that she leaves for her husband reveals the kind of person that she truly was. As tears flood Krishnan Muthalali's eyes, remorse and regret find their way out. The two men, stranded alone after Manickyam has made her exit, examine their loss before going separate ways.
