Fluentiama Perfect cast and a good story

BoardChiri Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

Plustown A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

Matylda Swan It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

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.

Sridhar Pichumani When 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.

wandererz2003 I watched the movie on the first day 2nd show . I was very thrilled to watch Rajni after a long time. The movie started good as usual , but sucks at end !. The worst climax i have ever seen !. I think it is the fault of the director Vasu. Though it was a Malayalam remake , I don't know why Vasu has messed up in the end . Music is as usual , made exclusively for Rajni. Vadivelu Comedy sucks ! The story was good , but screenplay is Bad. Its about curing a person (Jyothika) with split-personality , but Jo messed up ( overacted )and looked more like a ghost !.Prabhu had no great role , but had a jackpot as a producer.Overall its somewhat OK than the worst "Baba"! Will run for 200 days in Tamilnadu .

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).
