Mohini synopis: A spirit takes revenge on a few people by entering into the body of its lookalike.


Mohini review: Mohini is another horror film that follows the tried-and-tested path. However, it falls short when it comes to the emotions and an engaging screenplay to hold the audiences' attention.


Vaishnavi (Trisha), a popular chef, goes to London with her assistants Balki (Swaminathan) and Panju (Yogi Babu). She meets Sandeep (Jackky Bhagnani) and falls for him in no time. He even introduces Vaishnavi to her mother (Poornima).


One day, when she and her friends are enjoying a boat trip, she gets a conch shell. A spirit, that of Mohini (another role by Trisha), enters her body when she blows it. Her housemates understand that she has been possessed by an evil spirit and start getting scared with her presence. In a strange twist, Vaishnavi aka Mohini finds that Sandeep is connected to the antagonist (Mukesh Tiwari), and she decides to finish off both. Sensing the return of Mohini, those who tortured her to death seek support from a monk.


The story seems decent on paper, but it's the clichéd execution that lets the film down. While Trisha's scenes are adequately written, no other character has been etched out properly. Yogi Babu's comedy is ineffective except for a few one-liners. The romantic track between Trisha and Jackky appears forced. The climax of the film reminds us of a couple of successful horror flicks that released a few years ago. The film is way too predictable, and apart from Trisha's effort and the cinematography, Mohini doesn't have much to offer.
