Manas Shashidharan Jacob does not quite click

Manas Shashidharan Jacob gives this role a little extra shape without making a big show of it. A few choices felt pushed, and that pulled me out of the scene. It never really locked in for me. It feels like the role needed another layer that never quite showed up. I kept waiting for a more specific angle on the character. The performance does the job, but not much more than that. It is less about one scene and more about the overall aftertaste.
