CHANDRAMUKHI 2: KANGANA RANAUT CAN'T SAVE THIS MEDIOCRE HORROR-COMEDY

1.5 stars out of 5 When director P. Vasu remade the Malayalam hit film ‘Manichitrathazhu’ (1993) with Rajinikanth, Jyotika, and others in 2005, no one expected it to turn into the blockbuster it became. The superb acting performances by Rajinikanth and Jyotika, along with the ensemble cast, made the film a classic.

Rating: Fast forward to 2023, and director P. Vasu has created a sequel to that film, starring Rajinikanth’s ardent fan, Raghava Lawrence, and Kangana Ranaut, who steps into the shoes of Chandramukhi. Actor Raghava Lawrence has many horror comedies under his belt, and he adds one more with ‘Chandramukhi 2.’ Like the previous one, this film is filled with drama, comedy, and horror in abundance, but sadly, it’s forgettable.
