Synopsis

Choo Mantar

Gowtham, known as a famous paranormal expert "Dynamo", along with his teammates Akanksha, RJ and Nakul decide to explore the possibility of finding a treasure supposedly hidden beneath a dreaded and haunted place called Morgan House. The four of them are oblivious to the history of the place they are about to set foot in. The original Morgan House was under the control of a British tax collector named George Morgan, who was in charge of collecting taxes from a nearby village. Morgan would ruthlessly collect taxes from them and loot their earnings. He would eventually learn about Mogra, a beautiful young woman from the village who was raised by the villagers as an orphan. Morgan fell in love with her and confessed his feelings to Mogra, who in turn accepted and became Morgan's treasured wife. Morgan, who worked for the East India Company, used to steal a portion of the collected taxes and falsify the tax returns, sharing the profits with his subordinates. He would secretly sell most belongings of the house and other items to traders outside India, getting diamonds in return. The villagers, having eventually learnt of Morgan's treachery, banded together and launched an attack at Morgan's estate, killing the guards. In the ensuing struggle, Morgan emerges victorious, although he is betrayed by Mogra, who, out of greed, kills him and desires to rule over the village. In his dying breath, Morgan draws his pistol and shoots Mogra, killing her. The mansion remains haunted since.

The New Indian Express
That being said, Choo Mantar remains a moderate cinematic experience. While the film’s suspense and plot twists offer intrigue, it doesn’t always deliver the full-fledged horror experience some might expect. Still, it compensates with its witty humour, quirky characters, and a surprising plot that keeps the viewer guessing. Sharan's performance—irrespective of the genre or character—effortlessly blends humour with the necessary gravitas required for horror.
