‘Manikyakallu’centres around Vannanmala Government H S, a school with a lot of history where even the state educational minister studied for his matriculation. But the present state of the school is pathetic as it is almost dysfunctional with just 50 students on their rolls. The eight teachers of the school has plenty of side businesses to the extent that for last decade, no student from the school has ever passed the state wide tenth standard exam. Into this atmosphere comes in Vinayachandran( Prithviraj) a newly appointed teacher who deliberately opts for the school due to some mysterious reasons. The young blood he is, Vinayachandran tries to change the scenario, inspiring the students to learn, but also his fellow teachers to teach. The reasons for Vinayan’s arrival offer the twist and drama to the story. Samvrutha is the heroine of the movie who comes in a Chandni, the Physical education teacher of the school.
Bottom Line

Manikya Kallu - uplifter film
'Manikyakallu' is an uplifter film, no doubt, and has its share of heartrending moments. But it breaks no fresh ground in the theme that it undertakes, and the middlebrow manner that it adopts halfway through makes it an uneven piece of work.
