"Mantra" is a SURPRISE HIT of 2007. Highly appreciated by the audience in India and Overseas for its neatly weaved suspense. Screenplay of the film is nice. It is a decent effort by the debutant director Tulasi Ram. The fine thing about this film are characterizations. All the characters in the film are well defined. Charmme is extremely good in a shot where she acts like as if she has seen the ghost. Sivaji is just amazing and his comedy timing is excellent. He brings credibility to his character. Choreography for Maha song by Prem Rakshit is good.

Mantra’s (Charmme) parents die when she was young and she lives with her friend Vinny (Karuna Sri). She inherits an ancestral property called 'Mantra Nilayam' in the outskirts of Hyderabad. Mantra Nilayam is called as haunted house because of two untimely deaths in that farm house few years back. She wants to sell it off, but no body comes forward to buy the property due to its reputation. A professor comes forward to buy that house with a condition that somebody should stay there for three months. Hero (Sivaji) is a small time goon who looks after land settlements. Hero wants to stay in the house so that he would get a commission of the sale once 'Mantra Nilayam' is sold. The rest of the story is all about how Hero demystifies everything.
