Mohan's Measure ⭐️ 

A sleazy ambulance driver is delivering a corpse to Kakinada from Hyderabad with a plethora of sinners in tow. In the list are a prostitute and her "John," a young couple running away to elope, and a couple of hoodlums escaping the law. And for the law, there is an angry, despicable excuse for a man who, stereotypical of villains in Telugu movies these days, is a Tamil cop. Ironically, all find themselves connected to a single small-done, who would rather do away with the lot.

This long winded explanation probably says everything about this movie, for the rest is a mixed up set of nonlinear sequences augmented by flashbacks. It feels as if the director just handed the screen to a host of B-rated comics and an equally B-rated eye candy starlet and said, "Do what you can to make this a movie."

They all try very hard this make this work. Attempts at Mel Brooks comedy is tried, but fails. Some effort to bring closure becomes ridiculous and utterly devoid of logic, what to say of emotions. 

A sequel seems suggested. But, to borrow an old adage as advice to the director, if at first you don't succeed...give up!
