No doubt, Manaroopa has a different content. Main attraction of the film is the forest and its unique theme. Actors should have been better. Interesting point is that this movie is on inner clashes of human mind. Need to watch it with patience.
I liked five friends journey, first scene (cancer patient scene), river scene, family and doctor scene in the last and tent scene and balloons in the forest. Team taken some tribal instruments (bamboo) as bomb, really thrilling.
Music is the plus point. Though director should have added more content on Gumma and their life. Few minus points also there, but one can ignore it.
Need some patience while watching some scenes I think director's intention is to carry the content in one shot without cut. Lastly I liked it because this scene has lot of weight in understanding Gumma's pain.
In another Gumma case, he doesn't know who is his father. Differently carried that scene in the dark room with surprising visits of his many fathers!!! Still he is searching his father in the Forest. Finally I concluded with these 3 Gummas are psychos with extreme narcissistic behaviour and has strong influence from their family.. A new kind of film which will attract future generation.
