Mohan's Measure ⭐

What's a guy to do? You've got Mammooty, Manju Warrier, and a creepy plot, and you figure this movie will be like fireworks. Instead, you wind up with heartburn. 

Mammooty must gut his usual charm to play a Catholic Priest who likes to solve murder mysteries, that is when he is not performing exorcism. He is also a trained parapsychologist with a carload full of gadgets that would make the Ghostbusters envious. 

His current ghoul-friend is the spirit of someone played by Manju Warrier,  who tries so hard to be charming, she often forgets to be scary.

This is made up for by attempts to compete with Linda Blair by Miss Monica, who seems best suited to throwing tantrums and screaming like a banshee when she doesn't get her way.  Tell me again, how this is different than any other tween-ager?

You will be possessed with the desire to throw something at your TV when watching.
