Mangalavaaram Review: A Thrilling Tale of Illicit Affairs, Mysterious Deaths

The director of “Mangalavaaram” is Ajay Bhupathi. He’s known for his work on the movie “RX100”, which was a big success. His next film, “Mahasamudram”, didn’t do as well, but he’s back with this new thriller.

The main cast includes Payal Rajput, who previously worked with Ajay Bhupathi in “RX100”. Alongside her are Ravindra Vijay, Ajay Ghosh, Sritej, Shravan Reddy, Nanditha Swetha, Krishna Chaitanya, Divya Pillai, and Lakshman.
