They also had no explanation in terms of where the characters came from etc etc, something which Manto also did. However I think the impact was missing from key scenes in the first half. Esp the train scene between Manto and Shyam. First half did have good scenes but somehow overall Manto appears as a character with very predictable and much fewer colours in his own character. I found the movie boring, going on and on on very obvious lines with too much message giving. Pessimist Foolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06057153008708242962noreply@blogger.com
