eashwar-rao Yes 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.

gopal-5 I mean c'mon!!!!! This picture sucks till the core!!!! I don't mean to be rude or anything but this movie stinks.I went to the theater to watch this movie being an Rajini fan and all but got extremely disappointed.Its such a third-grade picture!!!C'mon, prabhu's acting was like his afraid to steal the limelight of Rajini or something, the Hindustani dude which kept appearing during the first half till the end was absolutely unnecessary.What?? The director thought it's some kinda clever plot so that the audience will be thrown off track on solving the suspect??? Puh-lease!!!Rajini's acting was extremely bad, was the hell did he act?? Other than speak some pshcological gibberish in the end of the movie.Just a note : Rajini should stop acting after "baba" cause it will only degrade his reputation he achieved his peak with "padaiappa", "arunachalum", "muthu", "badshah"..etc..Its so weird his acting like a young hero with nayantara.C'mon she looks like his great grand-daughter!!!!!!Whole cast was terrible, "joythika" acting was only passable!! C'mon vikram acted in 'Anniyan' a Billion times her character in three different personalities and did it billion times better!!The song was bad, with superstar embarrassing himself with dancing.Its so embarrassing to me being a hard rajini fan and all!!!Have you'll noticed Rajini's lips during the movie?? It's so burnt!!!And it the beginning of the movie when rajini did his fight which was way over with the supernatural stuff for a man of that age who was trying very hard to just keep his wig on!!!I mean its understandable that supernatural elements in a Tamil movies fight scenes is a must cause it caters even to the lower working class and "auto-rishaw" fellows in India which makes up the majority of audience in Tamil film.Now!! Now!! no need to get angry or anything just stating the facts only!!!So like i was telling the beginning of the movie during the fight scene which was totally defies newton's law of gravity, I was hoping it was some kinda of dream scene were Rajini will wake up and see it was only a dream cause all the kamal fans and other neutral audience were shouting remarks like "Thats Ridiculous", "Give a a Break!!"..etc.. and being a rajini fan that was some difficult remarks to digest so I prayed and hoped that the scene will change and show that it was only a dream scene or something to save Rajini's dignity or "mannum" but it didn't and I was crushed! Cauz if it was any other actor I would have given some iron hard criticism.But for the sake of rajini I kept my mouth shut and try my level best to convince my oneself which was calling it ridiculous deep down.Frankly the movie sucks so bad it it pathetic.The only reason it ran in the cinemas was because Rajini was acting and the punchline "sakakalalalka" which was the only highlight cause there was nothing else in the move to talk about!!!! I only respect the notion of the film that it was to Honor Sivaji's career life as an actor.But on the other hand it was a disgrace to Sivaji.Because like I said earlier it Sucks!!!!Dissapoited Rajini fan. :(

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 .

mk_dan SuperStar is back and this time in a new role as a psychiatrist! The plot of Chandramukhi revolves around mysterious events that taunt a family (Prabhu & co.) that recently bought a bungalow believed to be occupied 150 years ago by one Vettiya Maharaja. The plot keeps the viewers guessing as to what/who is the cause behind all these mysteries. SuperStar Rajini as "Saravanan" and a Ramachandra Swami use their own ways to help the family resolve the mysteries of Chandramukhi. The cast comprises of Prabhu (sivaji film productions), Jyothika, Naser, VijayaKumar, Vadivelu and newcomer Nayanthara?!. P.Vasu has failed to use any of the cast effectively - but has focused on keeping usual Rajini gimmicks to a minimum. Rajini/jyothika's performances can pull this movie to a success. Given Manichitarathalz the Malayalam version featuring Mohan Lal was a mega hit, the director P.Vasu could have done better. Vidyasagar's music was a pleasant surprise. At least 4 out of the 6 songs are pleasing to the ears, with the climax song "Raa Raa" scored beautifully in Ragaa sudhadhanyasi with Telugu lyrics being the best. Rajini's reduced gimmicks and demeanor seem to give his fans the impression he is turning a corner in his long movie career. Almost forgot to mention the "entry" scene where Rajini makes his fans scream with his stunt sequence - one of the better entries from the master lately. Rajini has 2 stunt scenes in the movie to please the younger audience. If the movie needs a PG-13 rating its because of the vulgar comedy track and Jyothika's facial expressions!
