Chandramukhi 2 (transl. Moon faced girl 2) is a 2023 Indian Tamil-language comedy horror film written and directed by P. Vasu, and produced by Subaskaran Allirajah under Lyca Productions. It is a sequel to the 2005 film Chandramukhi. The film stars Raghava Lawrence, Kangana Ranaut and Lakshmi Menon along with an ensemble supporting cast, that includes Vadivelu who reprises his role from the predecessor, Radhika Sarathkumar, Mahima Nambiar, Srushti Dange, Rao Ramesh, Subiksha Krishnan, Suresh Chandra Menon, Ravi Mariya, Vignesh, and Y. G. Mahendran in pivotal roles.

The film was officially announced in 2020 with Sun Pictures producing, though by June 2022 Lyca had taken over production. Principal photography began in that July, and wrapped by mid-August 2023. The music is composed by M. M. Keeravani, while the cinematography and editing are handled by R. D. Rajasekhar and Anthony, respectively. Chandramukhi 2 was released on 28 September 2023 to negative reviews from critics, and emerged a major commercial failure.

Plot

Ranganayaki, the matriarch of a wealthy family, navigates through a series of misfortunes alongside her family members. Her household includes her elder brother, his son with his family, her younger brother and his family. She also has four daughters, out of which Gayathri, Priya and Divya live with her. The family faces a major setback when her elder daughter elopes, and a plane crash kills her and her spouse. Further calamities include a mysterious fire at the family's factory and Divya getting paralysed in a car accident, postponing her engagement. Seeking solutions, Ranganayaki consults their family astrologer, Guruji, who advises a prayer at their ancestral temple in Vettaiyapuram. The prayer requires the presence of the entire family, including her elder daughter's orphaned children, now under Pandiyan's care. Although hesitant, the family follows Guruji's advice and heads to Vettaiyapuram.

Upon arrival, they lease the Vettaiyapuram Palace for forty-eight days from its new caretakers, Murugesan and Senthil's uncle, and move in despite Murugesan's warning against venturing into the southern part of the palace. Curiosity leads Priya into the forbidden area, where she unwittingly releases Chandramukhi's spirit from a rangoli. Meanwhile, the family discovers their temple in ruins. Pandiyan cleans the temple, but an unfortunate turn of events leads to a fire breaking out within the temple premises. It inadvertently unleashes Vettaiyan's spirit, much to the dismay of Chandramukhi, causing chaos to sweep through the palace. Upon his return, Pandiyan shares the unnerving news with the family that Chandramukhi has possessed one of the women in the household. Murugesan reveals that a similar incident had occurred seventeen years prior. When Guruji arrives, Murugesan elaborates on Ganga's previous psychological affliction, where she imagines herself as Chandramukhi. However, the real Chandramukhi has resurfaced, escalating the threat.

The family then proceeds to Vettaiyan's courtroom, a significant location where Ramachandra Achariyar and Saravanan had previously exorcised Ganga [a]. Upon inspection, Guruji discerns that someone has already entered the forbidden room, thereby unleashing Chandramukhi's spirit for real. Initial suspicions fall on Priya due to her earlier explorations, but Divya is the person possessed. A miraculous event follows as Divya regains her ability to walk, which elates her but leaves the family in distress. Guruji explains that a bead from Chandramukhi's anklet facilitated Divya's possession that she had worn, as she had a penchant for collecting antiques.

In a twist of fate, Pandiyan stumbles upon a secret room below Vettaiyan's room and becomes possessed. As Chandramukhi still possesses Divya, she attempts to harm Ranganayaki and her nieces and nephews, but Pandiyan's possession by Vettaiyan thwarts her attempts. Delving into the past, Guruji learns from a sage about the bitter enmity between Vettaiyan and Chandramukhi.

Past: Sengottaiyan, a commander in King Vettaiyan's army, had conquered the Vijayanagara Kingdom and was smitten by a dancer named Chandramukhi, whom he forcibly took to Vettaiyapuram. When King Vettaiyan becomes enamoured with Chandramukhi's beauty, it ignites a confrontation between him and Sengottaiyan, resulting in Vettaiyan's beheading. Subsequently, Sengottaiyan proclaims himself as king, adopting the name Vettaiyan. Despite her pleas about her love for Gunasekaran, Vettaiyan keeps Chandramukhi captive. In a tragic event, Vettaiyan beheads Gunasekharan, and Chandramukhi is burnt alive. However, she returns as a vengeful ghost, tormenting Vettaiyan to the brink of despair. Unable to bear the torment, Vettaiyan retreats to his secret room, eventually meeting his end through a fatal snake bite.

Present: Through the sage, Pandiyan learns that he became possessed by Vettaiyan after sitting on his throne. A fierce battle unfolds between Divya (possessed by Chandramukhi) and Pandiyan (possessed by Vettaiyan). In a sacrificial act, the sage intervenes to save Pandiyan and ends Chandramukhi's reign of terror. Guruji later reveals to Pandiyan that the sage had collected Chandramukhi's ashes and sealed them in her portrait. The sage, whom Chandramukhi cursed to be beheaded only by her, saw this as an opportunity to end his curse and willingly sacrificed himself to cease the torment.

With the spirits laid to rest, Ranganayaki's family finally performs the prayer at their deity temple. Upon completing the prayer, the family departs from the palace with Pandiyan. The ordeal concludes on a hopeful note as Pandiyan reunites with Lakshmi, ending the family's harrowing yet enlightening journey.

    Development

    P. Vasu had plans for a sequel to Chandramukhi as early as September 2012.[5] In January 2020, Vasu stated that he had completed the script for the sequel and a producer has come forward to produce the film.[6] It was reported that Raghava Lawrence would play main role in the film, which was confirmed in April by himself via Twitter, where also stated the film is produced by Sun Pictures.[7] In June 2022, Lawrence announced that Lyca Productions had taken over producing the film, Vadivelu joined the casting and editing, cinematography and art works would be handled by Anthony, R. D. Rajasekhar and Thota Tharani.[8] Kala was chosen as the dance choreographer, again as she choreographed for the first film.[9]

    Casting

    Kangana Ranaut met Vasu to discuss another film. While inquiring Vasu about who he cast for the role of Chandramukhi, Vasu told Ranaut that no one had been cast yet and Ranaut asked Vasu if she could play the role.[10] She was subsequently announced as the lead female in November.[11] Ranaut was reportedly paid ₹20 crore (US$2.4 million), and Lawrence ₹15 crore (US$1.8 million).[12] Vadivelu was the only actor to reprise his role from the first film.[13] Action choreography, cinematography and editing are handled by Kanal Kannan, R. D. Rajasekhar and Anthony, respectively.[14]

    Release

    Release

    Chandramukhi 2 was initially scheduled to release on 15 September 2023, coinciding with Ganesh Chaturthi, but it was postponed to 28 September due to 450-shots from the film disappearing during post-production works, which were found after four days.[29][30] The film released in Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada and Hindi.

    Home media

    The film began streaming on Netflix from 26 October 2023.[31]

    Reception

    Box office

    Made on a budget of ₹60–₹65 crore,[2][3] Chandramukhi 2 needed to earn ₹80 crore at the domestic box office to break-even.[32] However, in its theatrical run the film grossed just over ₹40 crore globally,[4] emerging a commercial failure.[33][34][35]

    Critical response

    The film received negative reviews from critics.[36][37]

    Priyanka Sundar of Firstpost gave the film 1 out of 5 stars and wrote, "Forget refreshing storyline, with such lazy writing, it truly would be better to tune into the previous film on OTT, instead of spending currency on the ever-rising ticket prices".[38] Janani K from India Today gave the film 1.5 out of 5 stars and wrote, "Chandramukhi 2 is mediocrity at its best. We get to hear a romantic number that goes 'Podhum Podhum' (transl. Enough, enough) in the second half. We feel you! Podhum!".[39] M. Suganth of The Times of India gave the film 1.5 out of 5 stars and wrote, "Those who just want a momentary diversion might find it passable while those looking for something more will feel underwhelmed".[40] Kalyani Pandiyan S of Hindustan Times praised Menon's performance in the film but criticised Lawrence's comic timing and noted that Ranaut could not perform to the level of Jyothika.[41] Sowmya Rajendran of The News Minute gave the film 1 out of 5 stars and wrote, "The film unfolds in TV serial fashion with close-ups, reaction shots, and melodramatic dialogues while riding heavily on M. M. Keeravani's nostalgia-inducing score".[42]

    In a negative review, the critic at Hindu Tamil Thisai warned the makers against using the name of a work that has been well received in all its forms like Manichitrathazhu, Apthamitra and Chandramukhi and making a film that has not even a single memorable feature.[43] Sruthi Ganapathy Raman of Film Companion called it a "poorly-acted" sequel and wrote, "Apart from its title card and Keeravani's accompanying haunting note, nothing about the sequel reminds us of the collective horror we felt 15 years ago".[44] Srinivasa Ramanujam of The Hindu called it a "mildly" entertaining film.[45] Saki Yutukuri of Telangana Today wrote, "Chandramukhi 2 can be called either a remake or a copy film, but definitely not a sequel as it has every element similar, even at the ground level.[46] Kirubhakar Purushothaman of The Indian Express gave the film 1 out of 5 stars and called it a "shoddy" horror film which is tainting the legacy of the original film.[47] Baradwaj Rangan called it a "generic" sequel, criticising its similarities to its predecessor.[48] Anusha Sundar of Cinema Express gave the film 1.5 out of 5 stars and wrote, "Chandramukhi 2 fails to bring anything fresh and ends up delivering a colour-remastered copy of its predecessor".[49] B. V. S. Prakash of Deccan Chronicle gave the film 2 out of 5 stars and dismissed it as "tacky" sequel of an evergreen hit.[50] Krishna Selvaseelan of the Tamil Guardian gave the film 1 out of 5 stars, writing the film was a "shameless slap in the face of its predecessor".[51]
