Manutime Movie Mission is the dream Banner of Freelance Writer and Movie Director Manohar Chimmani. A small beginning in the field of filmmaking with lots of high aspirations.

The prime aim of the Mission is to make very low budget market-driven films with non-routine, universally appealing and high on concept subjects. With freshers.

The following article, written by Manohar Chimmani himself, reflects the basic concept behind the inception of this Mission:

Utopia Of A Tollywood Director

A very low budget movie. Or you can say Oka Chinna Cinema in our own Telugu. With only budding and aspiring ones as its artists and technicians...

Definitely the formula is not a routine one. Not a recipe of six songs and four fights... It is fresh and shall present the viewers with 130 / 140 minutes of clean entertainment… Yes… freshness is very important.

Some 50 to 90 Lakhs and 90 Days… 50 to 90 Lakhs is the budget, and 90 days is the time frame. From concept stage to pre-production work, shooting, postproduction, first copy, business and release... everything should be completed within the 90-days...

100 days run isn't necessary. 100 House Full shows are more than enough. To be more precise - getting business done with a simple 5 to 10 Lakhs of margin should be the prime target. This process should be completed well before the release of the film.

Formulas, images, high remunerations, high budgets, high aspirations… well… don't. We have couple of dozens of stalwarts already there in the industry. Let them continue to march fast on the good-old track... Basing on that foundation, several more dozens of stars and filmmakers are coming... and will come. Well… it's a Kings way. A well-laid and well-known path. But the fruits will go to the couple of dozens only.

On the other side… My dream is a team that works day and night for the success of the project... A team that works beyond so called images and egos… Where commitment is more important than call-sheet…

Freshness… Infectious enthusiasm… Striving zeal to prove ones' creative talents… Un-comparable and really non-routine subjects…

It's a new world.

A fresh path that has to be laid while on the journey. Definitely not an easy task. But... the fruits will reach hundreds of families. The viewer will have a clear choice of movies with really different subjects. Not just quantity-wise… quality-wise also we can continue to enjoy making highest number of films in the country.

Sounds 'all trash', doesn't it? May be. It's my utopia. A dream. But, to be frank... not an impossible one. Only a bold first step is awaited...
