★★★★★ ★★★★★ 2.5/5

Debutant director Viveka's 'Mango Pachcha', like its protagonist, starts with great aspiration and promise, and similarly, loses its way long before achieving what it aspires to. The film, which is the launch pad for Sanchith Sanjeev, had all the ingredients required for a grand and spectacular debut.

★★★★★ ★★★★★ 3/5

Set in Mysore in the 2000s, Mango Pachcha uses the city as more than just a backdrop. Through its streets, businesses, and everyday life, Mysore becomes a character in itself.
