r96sk6 Nov 29, 20201987's 'Mohre' starts off with a lot of intrigue, but quickly loses it and drags itself over the 104 minute run time. It sets things up pretty well, as we're introduced to the characters of Anupam Kher and Sadashiv Amrapurkar. I like Kher as an actor, he's the better of the two - though they are by far and away the stars, even if Nana Patekar & Co. do solid things in the background. It loses all the interest as the plot progresses, with needless songs and underwhelming character development - I thought it might have got deep given what the film is about, but it doesn't really dig too deeply unfortunately. There is worse out there, but this isn't one I'd say you should rush to see.
