| A homage to the noir genre, Manorama is about an amateur detective in a small
town who finds himself caught in a web of lies, deceit and murder. SV is a government
engineer but his real ambition has always been writing detective fiction. Unfortunately,
his maiden attempt, a novel called Manorama, sank without a trace and he has been
reduced to writing for cheap pulp magazines. Stifled by the dreariness of small
town existence and frustrated by his failure, SVs life changes when the wife
of a powerful local politician arrives at his doorstep with an irresistible offer;
the chance for SV to play a real life detective by spying on her husband. Intrigued
and tempted by the opportunity to redeem his self-worth, SV accepts. Upon completion
of his assignment, things take a turn when SV discovers that the woman is not
who she claims to be. The situation get further complicated when she is killed
in a mysterious accident. Sensing foul play, SV begins investigating her death
only to discover that nothing is what it seems to be and that redemption doesnt
come easy... |
