Mohan's Measure ⭐

In the mythology of South Asia, lizards are said to be omens and bringers of mystical wisdom. If that is the case, how I wish one of them could have told the producers just how bad this script is. 

The otherwise seasoned actor, Mr. Boban stretches his talent and our patience in playing a junior cop who dreams of becoming a writer.  His writer's block leads him to a file declared by the local constabulary to be cursed. So, for this reason they loosely wrap it in a red handkerchief and keep it on public display. 

The aspiring writer not only opens the file, thus allowing all of us to follow his hallucinations of a dead girl and the.aforementioned long-tailed insurance salesmen. This whets his appetite to offer more delusional behavior, and in and around, solve an otherwise unsolvable  murder mystery. 

The very fact they have been able to keep a straight face is reason enough to laud the cast.  Praiseworthy is Ms. Jose as the cop's wife, who maintains a constant demeanor of wanting to kill her nutjob husband.  As the case wears on to its inevitable conclusion, we find ourselves having no other option but to root for her
