Mantra Movie Review

Mantra (Charmme) is a working woman who also teaches dancing to children. She has to pay debts owed by her father and decides to sell her Mantra Nilayam (farmhouse) to pay the debts. However no one comes to by the farm house as mysterious deaths took place in that house. An unknown professor comes up to buy the farm house, but with a condition. The deal is that if Mantra gets people to stay for at least three months, the professor promises to buy the property. So she tries to find tenants for the house. Hero (Sivaji, character’s name is Hero) offers to stay in the house along with his friends. Very soon his friend Muniswamy (Chitram Srinu) is murdered. Hero tries to find out what is behind the unnatural incidents taking place at Mantra Nilayam. Charmee does act her part perfectly as the simple working girl, faced with a crisis, which in turn puts her face to face with death. She comes off as a girl who has the spirit to figure out what’s happening, instead of shrieking at the word go. Sivaji, Kausa, Chitram Srinu, Jeeva, all play their parts convincingly. Cinematographer Sivendra and music director Anand have done a very good job. directorThulasi Ram and come up with good work to keep up the film’s impact.

Its great to watch MANTRA... heard lots of screams in the theater, thank god we have directors who can put down films like this aprt from Ram Gopal Varma, whom i adore most.... needless to say the story bags the credit with an excellent background score. Worth watching nad getting scared...... :)
