Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Patience Watson One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.

Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.

Cheryl A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

nickraman This film is nothing but crap. I recently saw the malayalam version and it was FAR FAR BETTER than this remake. The only reason it was remade so that Rajni can still be at the top of the ladder making his lame punch dialogues at the little people and commenting on movies that are so good (in reality, they are horrible. Recently he urged his son/director to remake the Kannada blockbuster "Jogi" in tamil, which is officially getting negative reports and trade had declared it a super flop.) Vadivelu needs to retire, Nayantara is a waste, Vineeth was probably the saving grace of the movie. Prabhu was adequate.On the whole: Mohanlal > Rajni, Shobana > Jo, Suresh Gopi > Prabhu.All signs point to sticking towards the Malayalam original. Fun fact: Chandramukhi bagged Jo an award while Anniyan bagged 8 in 2005's South Filmfare awards.

arunaaruldass This is a far better movie of Rajinikanth. I think the cast and music is very good compared to other movies of the time. The comment i saw hasn't done any justice to the movie or the cast.I think Jyothia was suitable for this role. Especially the costumes were adorable. Regarding Ranjinikanth's makeup...please he is old, that is the best he can do...but still i think overall he scores credit for that.I can assure that this movie is far better than the Malayam version of the same. Overall this movie is sheer fun and a great family entertainment. But i really don't see any significant role for Nayanthara. They could have gone for a better looking heroine for sure. But i really enjoyed this movie.

kganesh77-1 Well to start with, I had seen the movie like 6 times already in halls , every time only to be enjoying the way i enjoyed seeing the film the first time ! Thats Rajnikanth, the one and only, whose charisma is awesome and on-screen chemistry is nothing but MAGIC !!! The story revolves around a Old Mansion in a distant Village, where Rajni's friend and friends' wife reside. The Mansion is supposed to be ghost haunted. As a Psychologist, Rajni helps in unwrapping the secrets behind the mysterious happenings in the mansion. So far for the story. So what makes it so awesome to watch it so many times ???? Simple Answer : Rajni, Rajni and Only Rajni ! 60 yrs old and still going strong Rajni is one man who can still entertain the masses right from 5 yr old to 50 yr old. This time around the music and the support actors have done their piece well together ! A perfect 10/10 score !!!

schindlerslist Chandramukhi is a Tamil version of a very famous Malayalam movie "Manichitrathazhu" that came out a few years earlier. the Malayalam movie has the following actors/actresses...Mohan Lal - Rajni, Suresh Gobi - Prabhu, Shobana - Jyotika, Nedumudi Venu - combined role of Vijaykumar and Nazar, Vinaya Prasad - Nayantra, Innocent - Vadivelui don't remember the name of the actor in the Malayalam movie who plays Vineeth (the dance master).the Malayalam movie was much better, and i say this in spite of being a die-hard Rajni fan. the comment above might be considered subjective, but i would recommend seeing the Malayalam movie to anyone who watches Chandramukhi to see the difference, and decide for themselves.one of the things that stand out for comparison is the way in which the split-personality nature of the lead actress is shown in both movies. While Shobana acted so well naturally in her role as Nagavalli, i'm not sure why P. Vasu (director of Chandramuki) had to beam light on Jyotika's eyes to make the audience aware that she was acting as Chandramukhi. Vadivelu's comedy in the Tamil movie is not too entertaining. i don't say innocent's comedy is very hilarious either, but then there aren't so many sexual innuendos in the comedy in the Malayalam movie. in summary, a movie worth watching once. but please take the time to see the Malayalam movie too (with subtitles if you don't understand Malayalam).
