Enchanted pen

The same enchantment, terror, humour, and family-friendly enchantment of the movies is back! It’s Chandramukhi 2, why oh why. The highly anticipated movie that everyone has been waiting for is now available. Despite the protests of the Malayalis over the translation of their native Manichitrathazu into Chandramukhi. Everyone else simply adored it. The crowd went wild when, after 18 years, our favourite filmmaker P Vasu decided to make a second instalment of this magnificent movie. Without further ado, let’s see what storm Chandramukhi 2 has sparked.

We give credit to the writers and director for diving right into the major theme rather than beating around the bush at the opening of the film, but I would also argue that the fun in the original movie’s first moments was worth watching. A wealthy family is anxious about what they can do to overcome a number of difficulties that have gathered around their property. Meanwhile, the lady of the home chooses to contact a swamiji, who arrives and advises that because you haven’t been performing puja at the kuldevi temple (ancestral temple), all of these problems are coming to your door one after the other. The family is confused what to do at this time.

They decide to travel, stay in a mansion close to the temple, and stay there until the puja is over in order to resolve everything. When Raghava Lawrence (Pandian) enters the story with his kids, the tale takes a surprising turn. The women of the house don’t like Pandian and don’t accept their children, and the home on the other side appears royal but eerie. When things start to become a little serious, Vadivelu—who is actually the owner of the mansion—enters the frame with his goofy behaviour, making the movie hilarious with his comedic expression and language. 

Wow, a scary movie doesn’t have any action yet. As you might have guessed, the temple where the puja is scheduled to take place is cursed. Despite their best efforts to maintain their denial, the family nevertheless decides to clean the temple, which leads to the loss of lives. In the meantime, someone broke into the mansion’s prohibited area, waking the ghosts of Chandramukhi (Kangana Ranaut).Will the Vettiyan Raja show up to save everyone?

While our Raghava can dance, sing, and fight like a raja, Kangana Ranaut did a fantastic job as Chandramukhi by maintaining Chandramukhi’s emotions at the edge of her seat. Even as weird things continue to occur in the house, Pandian works to shield everyone from Chandramukhi’s wrath. The family is aware of the upcoming harm and effects of Durgashtami as well as how swiftly it is approaching. But the real magic of the film was portrayed in the ‘ra ra’ song’s raw and potent voice.

While we all recognize the beauty and flow of the last scene, which moves from being afraid to laughing, it simply cannot finish before our favorite phrase of “laka laka laka.” People, stop waiting and enjoy the remake of the 18-year-old blockbuster in your local theatre or soon on OTT platforms. Toodeloo, see you in the next one!
