Directed by Nanda Periyasamy, the film has Samuthirakani in the lead role. Ruby. Bharathiraja, Vadivukkarasi, Nasser, Ananya, Chinni Jayanth and Thambi Ramaiah are donning important roles. In a realistic story, Mr. Let’s see how the film Manickam is in the review.

Storyline
Samuthirakani (Manickam), who lives happily with his wife and two daughters, is a lottery ticket seller in Kerala. There are many difficulties around Manickam such as family difficulties, medical expenses as a daughter, debt problems. Yet, he shares happiness with everyone and lives honestly.

At this time, Bharathiraja comes to Samuthirakani’s lottery ticket shop. He buys a lottery ticket from Samuthirakani thinking that the only way to solve his family’s problem is to pay for his wife’s medical expenses, to give 10 sovereigns of jewellery to his daughter and send her to her in-laws’ house.
But Bharathiraja says that he has lost his money, take this lottery ticket and I will buy it after paying money tomorrow. Accordingly, Samuthirakani takes the lottery ticket. The next day, Bharathiraja had bought a lottery ticket worth Rs. A total of 1.5 crore lotteries have fallen.

Samuthirakani wants to hand over the lottery ticket to Bharathiraja. Samuthirakani’s wife, father-in-law and other relatives who come to know about this at that time say that they can take the lottery themselves.
But I have promised the old man, this lottery ticket is for him and he decides that this lottery ticket is for him and leaves to behave honestly. What happened after that? What were all the difficulties he faced? What is the reason for this honesty of Samuthirakani? What happens if you are honest? That’s the rest of the story.

Analysis of the film
The storyline taken by director Nanda Periyasamy and the way it was designed in the screenplay was excellent. None of the scenes are sloppy. That is the biggest plus point of the film.

He has beautifully shown how people behave for money, what they will do to achieve it, and to what extent they will go.
Similarly, honesty and humanity are more important than money and if a person does that, money and fame will find him.
The way he created Samuthirakani’s character, his back story touches the heart. Samuthirakani’s performance is another level when he struggled to get the lottery ticket to the elder. Special kudos to that.
Emotional scenes are the strength of the film. Similarly, the character of Thambi Ramaiah, who came for comedy, was also enjoyable so that the place should not be emotional.
Bharathiraja, Nasser and Ananya have acted specially. Everyone’s character merges with the screenplay. The background music is better than the songs. The main pillars of the film are editing and cinematography.
