 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….
