manthrikan (2014)

Then there is the hero, Mukundanunni (Jayaram), who is not really keen about his father's black magic skills and is wiling away his time with two dumb cronies (played by Kalabhavan Shajon and Ramesh Pisharody) in some remote village. There he meets a girl named Malu (Poonam Bajwa), who has no memories about her past but falls pretty easily for the hero after a couple of songs. But they get separated soon after.

Some years later, the hero meets the heroine, but she doesn't identify him. Then the 'yakshi' begins her show and all what you would expect in a lowbrow spooky thriller starts happening from then on.

The script by Rajan Kiriyath lacks any merit and still the director has religiously executed all the scenes on to the screen. Vaidy S Pillai's visuals are top notch but S Balakrishnan's music is nothing to rave about.

Jayaram tries to repeat his age-old mannerisms, which were pretty fine more than a decade back. Poonam Bajwa looks mostly wooden, be it romance or horror. The rest of the cast too joins them in yelling out dialogues and make things look irritatingly doltish.
