... View MoreI have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.
... View MoreThe movie really just wants to entertain people.
... View MoreI haven't watched many Tamil movies, but I found that Chandramukhi was one of the best yet I watched. It has got everything you can have in a movie: humor, horror, thrill,romance, action, music, etc. The songs are REALLY good in this movie. I would definitely recommend buying the soundtrack of Chandramukhi. There's even one song in Telugu. Overall, I liked this movie a lot. Of course it had Rajnikanth in it, which brought quite a lot more appeal to it. There are good fight scenes with attempts of the "Matrix" effect, which is pretty cool. In the Telugu dub of this movie, one of the songs is sung by Carnatic Diva, Nityasree Mahadevan. What more could one ask for? It is a great movie, and I think everyone should see it. It might be a bit scary for young children, but it should be suitable for older ones. Conclusively, Chandramukhi is a great watch, and with stars like Rajnikanth and Jyothika, it is a big success!!
... View MoreWhen the movie hit the screens, Rajnikant himself was not sure if it will become a hit. By any standards, this was something unusual. Rajni's movies - even if they are crap - usually runs for 100 days. There was a reason why everone was so anxious about this movie. 1. Rajni's earlier movie, BABA, was a FLOP. (Though i loved it.) 2. This was a remake of the Malayalam hit movie, Manichitrathazh. 3. This did not have any of Rajni's stunts. (that which generally portrays him as a demi God with supernatural fight scenes and punch dialogues)Honestly, it was exciting to see Rajinikanth showing his acting talents in a controlled manner. His screen presence was simply amazing. Rajnikanth as Vettaya Maharaja - This alone gives you a feeling of the money well spent. (Laka Laka sequence)I am not giving 10 for this because of vulgarity in Vadivelu's comedy.
... View MoreWhen Rajni began work on Chandramukhi, quite a few people wondered how it would fare after the debacle of Baba. But the Superstar has silenced his critics, and he has silenced them in style. A younger look and feel, toned down histrionics and a great screen presence have all contributed to the success of his role in this movie. Though the movie lacks his usual style and punch lines, the man still has the charisma and charm to lure audiences to the theaters. Having watched the movie a number of times in a variety of theaters, let me assure you that the response he gets for his entry cannot be matched by any other actor. Whether he is fighting bad guys, shaking a leg to Vidyasagar's amazing tunes, helping out various members in the house, or confronting the ghost, Rajni evokes screams and cheers other actors can only dream of. Jyotika as Ganga and Chandramukhi has done a fabulous job and given one of her best performances. Prabhu has nothing much to do, and carries on whatever little he's got to with flair. Vadivelu and Rajni have excelled in comedy, though I can't call it very refined. Nayantra essays her role well. Nasser, Vijayakumar, Vinaya Prasad, Sheila and the rest of the cast just fits in to the story. Special mention is required for Avinash. His portrayal of a god man is realistic, and his entry is very good. Overall, Chandramukhi is a great movie, which signals the return of an even greater man.
... View MoreYes he looks terrible. Yes he's dressed terrible. Yes, Prabhu is probably there to make the superstar look good! But damn i had a good time!! You have to see this in Chennai with the masses and you ll know what I'm talking about. Its just the feel good factor, the enormous fun you end up having that makes a Rajni movie what it is.Even though this is a shadow of his movies pre Baba, I guess the masses wanted "the rajni effect" so bad that even a passable movie has become a huge hit. I really hope that he does something about his appearance though :(.The supporting cast have done a decent job though. Jyotika has done well. Vadivelu combines smoothly with the superstar. The frames lacked the opulence that is associated with his movies however, something that was so noticeable in Baba as well.
