Mohan's Measure ⭐⭐⭐⭐

A man wakes up in the hospital with retrograde amnesia. A young woman claims to be his daughter, another woman claims to be his lover. One man a boss, another a protegee. And in trying to rediscover, he is accused of a crime he is certain he could not commit.

Kadak Singh is by far a mystery lover's delight. But there is a deep humanity here, one that tells the story of a man, who like all human beings has strengths, weaknesses, passions, demons and psychological struggles.  But, this well acted drama dares to ask - could he be capable of crime?

The morality question is played out as a series of flashbacks, told from different perspectives, the classic formula for the Rashomon Effect to play out. And, in the end, the verdict can only be offered by the accused himself.
