We get a lot of bad Tamil films, week in, week out. A commonly cited excuse for this is the lack of budget. That’s clearly not the case with Mohini — Trisha’s kind-of, sort-of comeback film after 2016’s Kodi — whose makers had budget enough to shoot most of the film in London and to allegedly hire the VFX team that worked on the Harry Potter films. And yet, this horror-comedy is neither scary nor funny; just plain bad. The story is a rehash of the old standard horror film plot — the ghost of a murdered woman takes possession of a living one to take avenge her murder — and it’s all very predictable.
Sure, there’s the inclusion of catchphrases like epigenetics to explain why the ghost chooses a look-alike (never mind that the explanation hardly makes sense), but it really doesn’t matter in the larger scheme of things. Trisha plays the dual roles of Mohini (the dead woman) and Vaishnavi (the one possessed). Her idea of characterisation for the two roles seems to be: Vaishnavi — soft and smiling, Mohini — scowl and growl. And growl she does, a fair amount. But rather than making her seem menacing, it just comes off as ridiculous. Each time she said, “Naan Vaishnavi illa, Mohini!” it made me giggle. The third time, I simply burst out laughing. Jackky Bhagnani plays Vaishnavi’s love interest, who naturally ends up getting attacked by Mohini. Throughout the entire first half of the film, he has basically just one expression on his face — a silly grin. The romance portions between him and Trisha are positively cringeworthy.
