Mumaith Khan has good following among the B and C centre audiences. To cash in on her image, director Venky (whose last two films bombed miserably at B.O) dishes out Mangatayaru Tiffin Centre, which is, in one word, pure torture. It is one of the most unbearable movies in the recent times. The film's title should have been Mangatayaru Television Serial.
An insipid and stupid offshoot of Balakrishna's Samarasinha Reddy, the film never moves further and the director weaves some dream sequences with each of six lusty characters dreaming to spend a day with Mangatayaru. All the characters indulge in dream songs with her at the drop of a hat.
Still want to know the story? Well, it goes like this. Mangatayaru (Mumaith Khan) comes to a small village to put up a 'Tiffin center'. The village’s president (Jeeva), doctor (Surya), a tailor, a shop owner, a photographer and two others go out of their way to help her setting up the hotel. They lust for her and woo her desperately. Meanwhile, Mangatayaru voluntarily helps a poor woman Parvathamma (Sudha) who struggles to bring her three grownup daughters. Why Mangatayaru helps this poor family? Why does she come to this village is the rest of the story.
Unimaginative presentation, awkward dialogues and horrible acting by Mumiath Khan makes the film most insufferable one. There is not one element to talk about positively.
Rating: 1.5/5
