Story:
The
movie starts in a palace that is for sale and the royal family is back to the
palace after long years to repair it. Murali (Vinay Roy) is the family head.
Lakshmi Rai is the daughter of Chitra Lakshmanan. Madhavi played by Andrea is
the spouse of Vinay. This family is treated with great respect and gratitude by
the village people.
The
palace is being haunted by some devils and Ravi (Sundar C) who is the brother
of Madhavi takes the challenge to save the family from the ghost in the palace.
Meanwhile the servants in the palace are being killed and Ravi starts
investigating the reasons. With some hidden suspense Hansika (Chandrakala) is
introduced to the show. The mysterious incident happens in the palace.
What
happens in the village and how Chandrakala is inter-connected to the people in
the palace and what Ravi does to solve the mystery forms the rest of the story.
Artists Performance:
Andrea
is splendid in her role and she did her best especially in the second half.
Hansika attracts the audiences with her performance. She has done a neat job.
Rai
Lakshmi looks glamorous in the film. Santhanam comedy manages to evoke laughter
at few places. Sundar C and Vinay are limited in their roles.
Plus Points:
The
movie starts off with an interesting scene and director Sundar C does not waste
time in getting into the main plot which is an advantage of the film. Hansika
and Andrea are major highlights of Chandrakala. Santhanam’s comedy is one of
the assets of the film.
Minus Points:
The
movie does not make the audiences scary at any moment. The plot of the story is
predictable throughout the film and one could easily guess the next scene. This
is one of the major drawbacks. Songs are misplaced and spoil the flow of the
story.
Analysis:
Chandrakala
appears to be another winner and joins the list of horror-comedy films
including Pizza, Chandramukhi, Kanchana and others. First half of Chandrakala
is well carried by comedy of Santhanam. Vinay, Hansika and Andrea justify their
roles. Though Hansika played the lead role, Rai Lakshmi scores more attention
in the movie.
Verdict:
Chandrakala
movie is comedy-horror watchable film…
