It was a copy of Manichitrataalzh. Still there was many interesting changes made. Shobana was not that scary but Jothika was just like a scary ghost. Hats of to the makeup man to for the ghost arts. I still recommend this movie if you like combination of horror and a lot of comedy. And also there are many super natural effects like a ray of blue light, which increases the horror effect.In this movie the soul is a Telugu dance named Chandramukhi.Her is back for revenge that is the plot. I would call it two levels above watchable. All the characters in this movie are awesome, they all have their way of acting. I am a horror movie fan and I bet all of you will love this movie.

This film is nothing but crap. I recently saw the malayalam version and it was FAR FAR BETTER than this remake. The only reason it was remade so that Rajni can still be at the top of the ladder making his lame punch dialogues at the little people and commenting on movies that are so good (in reality, they are horrible. Recently he urged his son/director to remake the Kannada blockbuster "Jogi" in tamil, which is officially getting negative reports and trade had declared it a super flop.) Vadivelu needs to retire, Nayantara is a waste, Vineeth was probably the saving grace of the movie. Prabhu was adequate.On the whole: Mohanlal > Rajni, Shobana > Jo, Suresh Gopi > Prabhu.All signs point to sticking towards the Malayalam original. Fun fact: Chandramukhi bagged Jo an award while Anniyan bagged 8 in 2005's South Filmfare awards.

Well to start with, I had seen the movie like 6 times already in halls , every time only to be enjoying the way i enjoyed seeing the film the first time ! Thats Rajnikanth, the one and only, whose charisma is awesome and on-screen chemistry is nothing but MAGIC !!! The story revolves around a Old Mansion in a distant Village, where Rajni's friend and friends' wife reside. The Mansion is supposed to be ghost haunted. As a Psychologist, Rajni helps in unwrapping the secrets behind the mysterious happenings in the mansion. So far for the story. So what makes it so awesome to watch it so many times ???? Simple Answer : Rajni, Rajni and Only Rajni ! 60 yrs old and still going strong Rajni is one man who can still entertain the masses right from 5 yr old to 50 yr old. This time around the music and the support actors have done their piece well together ! A perfect 10/10 score !!!

I very much wonder why people in tamil industry make all these Matrix stunts for each and every scene possible. And what not... Rajini as usual fights around 10 bad guys, and they fly away(literally), due to the impact of the blows. Both the fights at the beginning and at the end of the movie is totally unwanted... And Rajini's accent in English Sucks big time. The movie is a re-make of Manichitrathaazhu(a malayalam movie) made 10 years ago. There is absolutely no humour in vadivelu's so called comedy. And the heroine Nayantara is useless in the movie... she is restricted to just songs and a few unwanted scenes. Jyotika OVER-ACTS no-end. Prabhu is present just for the sake of it. There is a big snake mentioned in the movie(not a real one, but a stupid virtual, computer-generated snake) that is of no use. Just like all the above mentioned, there are innumerable unwanted scenes and stuff included in the movie. But I very well know that this movie will be a block buster(in tamilnadu, at least), thats because of the fans Rajini has... But at some point of time, I believe that people will stop watching a movie just for the hero present in it, rather than the quality of story the movie has...
