After
a
brief
gap,
the
southern
sensation
who
ruled
the
roost
a
decade
ago
is
back
on
the
silver
screen.
Trisha
Krishnan
is
seen
in
dual
roles
for
the
time
in
the
bi-lingual
movie,
Mohini,
which
is
said
to
be
a
horror
and
a
message-oriented
flick.
Trisha
had
this
long-awaited
dream
of
featuring
in
a
solo
horror
movie,
much
similar
to
Anushka
Shetty's
Arundhati.
Though
her
wish
was
fulfilled
with
Nayagi,
things
never
fell
in
place
due
to
certain
differences
with
the
makers
of
the
movie.
With
Mohini,
it
seems
to
be
a
complete
circle
for
the
ever-gorgeous
actress.
The
first
look
of
Mohini
had
already
been
a
winner,
where
Trisha
was
seen
with
7
arms,
like
a
goddess,
generating
quite
a
curiosity.
Mohini
doesn't
run
on
the
conventional
and
a
cliché
thread
of
a
bunk
of
folks
entering
into
a
haunted
building
which
is
isolated
from
the
city
and
people.
Instead,
most
of
the
proceedings
in
the
movie
take
their
own
turn
outdoors
and
yet
strike
riveting
experience
at
parts.
The
story
of
the
movie
focuses
on
the
explanation
of
supernatural
elements
from
a
science
standpoint.
Mohini
also
touches
the
base
of
women
safety,
which
is
laced
with
the
revenge
layer
and
thus
blending
horror,
revenge
and
message
in
a
single
package.
Trisha
bags
a
dual
role
for
the
first
time
in
her
career
and
needless
to
say,
walks
with
honours.
She
is
gorgeous,
delivers
a
good
performance
and
conveys
the
content.
Yogi
Babu,
Ganesh
&
Swaminathan
bag
meaty
roles
and
have
a
lot
of
room
to
play
and
showcase
their
talent
in
the
flick.
Rest
of
the
casting
is
a
decent
fit
in
the
movie
who
command
nothing
more
or
nothing
less.
Vivek
Mervin,
the
music
director,
has
done
a
decent
job
by
rendering
4
good
songs.
'Youtube
La
Melam' is
a
chartbuster
and
has
recorded
a
good
number
of
views
and
response
on
Youtube.
Arul
Dev
is
equally
good
in
the
rendition
of
the
background
music.
Usually,
BGM
plays
an
important
role
in
this
genre.
Cinematography
by
RB
Gurudev
is
appreciable,
as
the
locales
captured
in
London
are
eye-soothing.
Dinesh
Ponraj's
editing
is
just
adequate,
as
it
might
not
infuse
much
of
the
feel
and
the
"supposed
horrifying
experience" as
one
would
want
to
experience
in
a
horror
movie.
Ramana
Madesh,
the
director
who
had
called
action-cut
to
Vijay's
Madurey,
has
come
up
with
a
script
which
is
not
his
usual
cup
of
tea.
Though
his
sincere
efforts
are
visible,
there
appears
to
be
a
good
room
for
improvement
in
most
avenues
of
the
movie.
The
comedy
writing
in
the
movie
is
good
and
Madesh
seems
to
be
quite
a
winner
in
the
said
segment.
Mohini
neither
frightens
you
to
the
core
nor
moves
you
emotionally
with
the
delivered
message,
but
has
its
share
of
ups
to
qualify
as
a
decent
watch
this
weekend.
