The story then follows Ashokan seeking solutions to the complication which turns his life upside down. 

Maniyarayile Ashokan Story

To put simply, the movie speaks about society’s beliefs on marriage. Ashokan is definitely someone every Indian can relate to: He is not tall, is dark-skinned and is a government employee. He is not sharp looking like his friend. His physical appearance is the one thing that makes it more difficult to find a bride. It is evident when he is humiliated for his appearance by the girl, he first seeks a marriage proposal.  Ashokan’s character also seemed to be influenced by the Sreenivasan movie Vadakkunokkiyanthram in which he faces trouble to find a bride because of his appearance. Still, he manages to find someone beautiful who is according to society, way out of his league. This is also the case with Ashokan.

At the end of the day, Maniyarayile Ashokan is a simple, plain and a feel-good movie worth watching. If you are looking for something to fill your hearts this weekend, then this one is definitely good to go. To all those who haven’t watched this movie yet, grab your chair and watch it on Asianet Network on September 27th at 6:00 pm IST.
