Manorama Six Feet Under

Manorama Six Feet Under is a 2007 Indian thriller film directed and co-written by Navdeep Singh. The film features Abhay Deol, Raima Sen and Gul Panag in the lead roles. The film released on 21 September 2007. It follows an amateur detective in a small sleepy town from Rajasthan who finds himself caught in a web of lies, deceit and murder. The movie is based on classic American neo-noir film, Chinatown (1974) directed by Roman Polanski, with the basic premise being similar to the original, despite obvious changes in the representation of characters and some key plot points. The makers of Manorama Six Feet Under acknowledged the inspiration from the original by playing the sequence where Jack Nicholson’s character gets his nose slashed on the main character’s (Satyaveer) television.
