Mohan's Measure ⭐

I couldn't remember her until I saw the name. Hebah Patel was once the glamor girl of B movies, but she somehow became forgotten during the COVID years.

Odela is her attempt at a return, and to do so she removes her makeup and puts on a few pounds. But cosmetic changes do not a good actress make.

Nor does the brutally obsessive plot about a serial killer. The police, of course, are dysfunctional, so a handsome city cop is brought in. He, however, is no better, all in an obvious to make Ms. Patel the female-centric lead. This does to harm to a creepy whodunnit because suspicion leads the audience to the right place. 

Okay, we can understand the cop being unimportant but why is his wife brought in? An idea is suggested but completely ignored for a far more ridiculous one.

How I wish we had ignored this movie.
