ronyrajumc Manichithrathazhu is considered as one of the best thrillers ever made in India as well as one of the best Malayalam films ever made. Manichithrathazhu was remade after nearly 10 years in various languages, including Tamil (Chandramukhi), Kannada (Apthamitra), Bengali (Rajmohol), and Hindi (Bhool Bhulaiyaa), all being commercially successful.

Sandeep Hari The Ornate Lock ('Manichitratazhu') was a film directed by the gifted director Mr. A M Fazil. Combining stellar acting by veteran actors - such as Mohanlal, Thilakan, Shobana; with a well written script which was perfectly executed; the movie easily became a runaway success and a definitive benchmark for psychological thriller films in the history of Indian (if not World) movies.Centering around the weird ways in which an unwell human mind can behave , especially when under the power of suggestion; the role of Ganga proved to be turning point in the life of the actress Shobana. Similarly, evoking subtle mannerisms of a trained parapsychologist; Mohanlal was able to easily bring to awe even his dire critics.Though remakes of this film were attempted and done in many other languages, sadly, none were able to create the impact that this movie had made in the mind of movie goers.

Rishad A.R Manichitrathazhu is that kind of a movie which will not bore you how many ever times you watch it. The direction and casting has been the highlight while the actors in the movie especially Shobana did a fantastic job for which she receive the National Awards for best actress. The movie is told in line with the culture and tradition of the place, Kerala and the rituals practiced there. Its a horror movie with a scientific view given to it and never got deviated from concept of science to a ghost movie. The movie maintains its pace and mentioned earlier, Shobana's work should be praised as it was at a different level, something which Indian cinema never ever witnessed till date. The director crafted each and every scene and characters so elegantly and wisely that every character contributed to the movie and every scene was relevant to the storyline. Its a must watch Indian movie of all time especially if you like the genres likes horror or suspense.

ranjithengg07 This is the best commercial movie i have seen in so many years.still keeps me hooked when i see this movie because of the freshness of the subject.i have seen all the remade versions of this movie.needful to say all were craps and this still remains to be fresh,solid,scintillating,brisk because all the technicians and artists who worked in this movie gave their best and memorable performances to make this movie the best among commercial movies.Mohanlal,probably the greatest actor India has ever delivered, gives out a splendid performance as always by rightly knowing his potentials.you ll know why he is a such a best natural actor when you look at the mannerisms and gimmicks he gives in this movie which he does throughout the movie without going out of the character.Suresh Gopi has given a memorable performance as a hapless husband especially he delivers his best when he comes to know that his wife is the exact psychologically disturbed person.truly amazing.Nedumudi Venu,Innocent,K.P.A.C. Lalitha,Sudheesh,Vinaya Prasad,Pappu,Ganesh Kumar and of course Thilakan every one have given memorable performances,but easily the scene stealer is Shobana.she delivers one of her best performances to date for which she got a very well deserved national award.be it a naive Ganga or the ruthless nagavalli she is there to deliver the best.really amazing to watch her performance throughout the movie.kudos to her.finally The hit maker.it is none other than our very own Fazil who gives this movie its true colors along with Madhu Muttam and his crew.only he could have pulled this film in this form of being fun filled,yet intricate.brilliant.finally,this is the best commercial movie of all time and a movie which should be cherished in each and every malayali's DVD library.
