<i>Mohini</i> - Review

Monday, August 14, 2006
National acclaimed director S.V.Rajendra Singh as usual has the good material, gripping style but the tautness is missing. The length and inconsequential scenes is the main bottleneck of this film. However the film is worth a dekko for Singh Babu's very honest attempt. The film is good in music and camera work too. The graphics remind us of the yesteryear films.

Varun (Audhitya) and Sumana (Sada) are in the field of police and press respectively. Varun is investigating the missing body of Mohini while Sumana an investigative journalist expose the massage parlor doing the flesh trade. Of course they are in love but things are not in order in Varun's sister family. Varun look for the missing Mohini and Mohini on the other hand is settling the scores for her rabble rousers. When it comes to the family of Varun the Mohini enters the little kid and it wants to take the life of Varun's sister. At the time of child at the hospital the major flashback with thrills surface and that leads to further clues for Varun.

Whodunit? You have some exciting moments but the end part of Mohini in real form budging the call of the mother is something out of context.

There is some scope to act and be in action scenes for Audhitya. He suits the role very well. Sada the Monalisa beauty is a treat to watch. Mohini role has shaped up very well. Anu is once again up to the mark.

Giri has captured the outdoor locations very well in his camera. The graphic work further boosts up the horror element in the film. Music and lyrics by Hamsalekha is peppy.

This is an above average film good in bits and pieces.
