Synopsis:
Homage to the noir genre, Manorama Six Feet Under is
about an amateur detective in a small town who finds himself caught
in a web of lies, deceit and murder.
SV (Abhay Deol) is a government engineer but his real ambition
has always been writing detective fiction. Unfortunately, his
maiden attempt, a novel called Manorama, sank without
a trace and he has been reduced to writing for cheap pulp magazines.
Stifled by the dreariness of small town existence and frustrated
by his failure, SV's life takes a turn when the wife of a powerful
local politician arrives at his doorstep with an irresistible
offer; the chance for SV to play a real life detective by spying
on her husband. Intrigued and tempted by the opportunity to redeem
his self worth, SV accepts.
Upon completion of his assignment, things take a turn when SV
discovers that the woman is not who she claims to be. The situation
get further complicated when she is killed in a mysterious accident.
Sensing foul play, SV begins investigating her death only to discover
that nothing is what it seems to be and that redemption doesn't
come easy….
