Hoo tells the social issues of Manipur

HOO  is  a Manipuri film which is trying to tell the issues of our society. Perhaps, a different theme from the present trends of film released in the State. 

Out of average 60 odd Manipuri films released every year, hardly 5-6 films are made on social issues. Hoo is one such films which need to be promoted if we want to keep Manipuri film at global platform.

We must give credit to director Bankim Maibam, who conceptualize the theme as screenplay writer, editor, producer as well. The  camera angle by Irom Ibomcha is worth to mention.

Thoiba, a shooting National player and an SI in Manipur police joins the Narcotic Department to curb drug trafficking in the state which is spoiling the youths, specially his own brother who is a victim of drug abuse.

As the story unfolds, Thoiba discover every one in the system is involved in this business. On one mission he is hurt and rescued by Thoibi, a widow who works as commercial sex worker.

Thoiba struggles to help her lead a good life, adding another burden besides combating against drug mafias.

The role  of Thoibi is superbly played by Rojy as a young widow in the movie. 

Universe comeback as Thoiba is good for Manipuri film after a long gap, The character of Thoiba is mature and very challenging and the young actor tries hard to fit in the character.  

Veteran actor Shaymkeshor, who is playing the father of Thoiba did a wonderful job. The scenes where mob tries to punish the family of Thoiba is beautifully capture by the lens. This is the magic moment of the film. 

We must watch this film which is free from copy-cat Bollywood dance and romance. Producer Loveboy must be given a thumbs up for producing such subject which is a bit risky in the present trends of Manipuri films.

A B C Zero is a serious comedy Manipuri film

The film “A. B. C.Zero” focuses mostly on the the lives of young teenagers. The stage of a teenager in everyone’s life is one of the most important stages of life. The way one lives or changes physically as well as mentally decides the future of one’s life. The positive development in such a stage depends mostly on the upbringing of the parents.

The film tries to show the negative outcome of over pampering of one’s child; how fulfilling each and every whimps and demands of a child affects the growth and development of the child. The also show how thieves and robbers are born out of many young potential youth due to many factors.

The story also involves around the many negative as well as positive sides of the coaching and private tution centers prevailing in the state. Overall, the film is up-to-date in terms of the storyline. This is one film to watch out for this season!

The film is directed by Geet Yumnam and produced by Uttam Ningomba. Main casts are Khaba, Mukabala, Lemba, Eshita, Ethoi and Nicky. A cameo role by Ta Kaboklei Inaocha is worth to watch.
