TISK, saw the update, Thanks!
BORROWED WITH THANKS FROM ANOTHER {ME} THREAD!!!
"............but some of my freinds who are ardent fan of Kamal-IR have also commented that the movie is Ok only not that great.
But CM is sure to be a blockbuster IMHO. It was clean movie with all ingredients in perfect proportion garnished with the Mass Charishma of Rajini......"
Thanks again!

Friends, just think, God's grace is abundant and HE gives us all so much and how much we waste in mundane things instead of using it for our spiritual upliftment?!
It is so true and that's what happens to our hero also.
By the time he realizes[here, he is made to realize by his uncle who is fed up with him by this time!] he is left with only a few and uses them in good deeds .
And, he now understands the secret of happiness which is within you and in what you do selflessly.
And, Baba promises him that whatever he chooses, whether to do it alone in himalayas or in the midst of people, as long as it is for your spiritual progress, He will guide him fully.[remember the message-tftd- Sridhar sent to us last week which said the same thing?].
And now, he returns to the masses who need him.
Folks, this is totally a different movie .
If you go looking for Rajni's usual gimmicks, you'll be dissappointed.
If you watch this movie as you do with any other regular Tamil movie , then again, you'll be dissappointed.
People who follow a spiritual path and DO BELIEVE in that path ,.......... not for their personal favors, money, position, etc, but for real grace .............. will be able to appreciate what Rajni is trying to convey.
If you are one of those majority who believe that movie is not a media to say these things and a movie should only be a form of entertainment, then this is definitely not your type of movie.
An artist conveys thru his art; a painter by his painting; a poet by his lyrics; a sculptor by his sculptures and so on and on.
Rajni is an actor.
He found out a truth.[or so he thought.]
He wanted to share it with his people.
He only had this media of reaching out.
That too, at the fag end of his carreer.
minji minji pOnaa, yinnum rendu moonu padam panninaa jaasthi.
yellaatthukkum sErtthu oru padtthile soliyirukkaaru
And he did a fairly satisfactory job in doing so without much compromising.
I do not speak for Rajni nor try to promote this movie.
It is already a flop in TN.
This writing is not going to change that outcome.
As he tried his media of communication I am trying to reach out to my own people of what I feel and think of this movie.
I only appeal to you to see this movie from this viewpoint and let me know if you agree with me or not.
That's all !
As I said yesterday at the Study circle, "Faith starts when logic stops".
Hope it makes sense.
Pl. comment.
modhalliye apology kEttaacchu.... for a long mail... marupadiyum....sorry.
I think the fact is all the three are average and not a flop.
CM will cross 100 days at least in 20+ theatres. I dont know anout other movies.
RK movie never received any great critical acclaim. Even Padayappa scored just 45 in AV review.
These reviews are good enough for CM to succeed! 8)
Chandramukhi Review
--------------------
Story
Compared to all other recent Rajni movies, there is a decent story line... unfortunately, the story does not suit Rajni. I could imagine Mohanlal doing this. Because this is a story that is unusual for Rajni. Anyone expecting Rajni's heroism should clear all these thoughts before watching the movie. Hardcore Rajni fans may not enjoy it fully.
Screenplay and Direction
Again this is altered by Ulta mannan (P. Vasu) from the original for Rajni I guess. Some of the dialogues and scenes sometime made it look like a cross between an amman and Rajni movie (probably the graphics made it look like amman movie). Except for the climax and the some 15 mins to the interval, the movie is usual. Some of the scenes are very old way of narration and some nenja nakking scene interspersed.
Cinematography
Song picturisations are surprising, but the situations are dumb. Some of the camera angles show Rajni is aging and some of his vintage mannerisms look bad. Otherwise the cameraman has done a decent job
Actors
Rajni is not a big factor in this movie, in the same sense he would be in other movies. He has done some stuff which are Rajniish and also compromised on other situations. In these scenes you might laugh even if its a serious scene. Rajni has done a decent job.
Prabhu has done a decent job, except when he cries in one of the scene, it makes you laugh than being serious (probably because of the scenes and dialogues leading to it)
Actresses
This seems more like a Jyothika's movie than a Rajni's. That says it all. She has done differently and done a good job. (Shobana in the malayalam original would have done a great job I guess). Nayanathara is just done her bit of playing second fiddle to Jyothika.
Comedy
The most hyped part of Chandramukhi. Its enjoyable in few scenes. But many are predictable. You would not see the movie for comedy only for sure. I was surprised by some double meaning ones (more on the explicit side) in the movie that too by Rajnikanth. Otherwise, its decent but predictable and repititive with no surprise element.
Music
Except for two songs others are typical Rajni songs. BGM is decent at times and sometimes sounded like a Home Alone BGM for Chandramukhi.
Overall
Rajni could have spent some more time choosing the right type of movie for a super hit. This movie not a very good customization of "Mana Chitra Thazhu" for Rajni. I would not say this will be a hit. I will not be surprised if it runs well given Rajni has not made a movie for years and this is 100 times better than Baba.
