Chandramukhi - crescent mukhi . Review on Chandramukhi - Tamil Movie

Chandramukhi - crescent mukhi watch it after interval

Lemme start optimistically .the movie is good and entertaining and worth watching after intermission. Nothing strong

, concrete or worthwhile in the first part.

Plot: diluted version of manichitratazhu - Malayalam movie which won national award for shobana. Newly married couple prabhu

And jyothika moves into a haunted bungalow with the family .the bungalow was owned by a king some century back who set his

Court dancer chandramukhi. After the family gets in strange things happen which corners and invites suspicion on nayanthara,

Gardener’s granddaughter. Our rajini comes up as psychiatrist unveils the mystery and puts everything in place for a happy

Ending.

Am sure almost a month old, everyone wld have been thorough with the plot, story and pros and cons. I myself went through

Some hundred reviews and previews before watching the movie.

In simple it’s a hyped rainy movie and rajini and vasu had taken full control over there role and were cautious not to have

Another 'baba'. They had succeeded.Rajini had improved his looks, attire and real good performance in climax as a king.

Jyothika has done justice to her role only in the last 20 mins of the movie. Make up, dialog delivery (kudos go for the make

Up man and sasikala dubbing in telgu). Nayanthara a small role but okay in acting. All others are caricatures and are

Created only for singing praises on rajini prabhu, vijaya, Vijay Kumar, Nasser, Sheila. O mi god the real cartoon was that

Namboodhri who was supposed to be an exorcist. Thrice or four times he kept telling that he was so frightened of the

Happenings and rest of the time singing praises on rajini. The whole movie stands on no logic but on last 20 mins after

Rajini starts explaining about the mishaps. Till that time it was just a passer by movie.

Jyothika - they call her as mischievous naughty girl. No scene has been depicted on her for this character. If is suffering from split personality disorder what does that namboodri do. What if she gets some other epical character in her? They had just driven chandramukhi out. if she is possessed with the spirit she shd be angry with rajini first as she thinks him as the king but she is unnecessarily angry with prabhu. even it was a nice chance for her to kill him when he came down to inform her about the chennai trip. She is totally illogical and not focused on what he is upto. It’s a real surprise that not a single soul knew that jyothika keeps dancing daily in that room including prabhu. Heights of stupidity. Might be they were waiting for rajini to do all the investigation as he is the hero.

Nayanthara - she is looking elder even to jyothika not that bubly.infact malavika and her mother were looking better than jyothika and nayanthara. Based on the screenplay it seems she knew the plot and mystery about jyothika but why does she keep mum the whole movie. Why did the person who gave the key die suddenly, who was trying to kill prabhu when jyothika opened the door. No one questions neither this nor any one answers this. why do they have that 'thathindom' song

This is partially based on Sidney’s novel tell me your dreams. In that the doctor really treats her by putting her in sleep and in-depth analysis and gets into subconscious mind but here rajini just asks her to open her eyes that are it.

Anyways Tamil movies especially rajini movies are for to watch simply and not to look into the loopholes.

On the lighter side - vineeths dance was good; jyothika acting in the 2nd part, duet in Istanbul, costume for rajini and few jokes on vadivel is also good.

Based on the recent reports it has 92% collection in all centers. So it’s a hit movie and establishes that people are dying for rajini slightly better movies.

on the while this movie doesn’t have rajini style or punch dialogues .infact rajini was troubled a lot in stunt scenes and his electrifying presence and fast delivery of dialogues were also less .

for non telugu people its difficult to understand what jyotika tells .they wld have given subtitles. poor thing prabhu being a producer dint have much scope in the movie.

So go and watch this movie and get relaxed.
