Chandramukhi, a name well known to almost every film watcher in Kollywood. So when you watch the film, you can't help but compare both. The plotline, first of all, does not correspond with the first film. So many questions were raised. So, the vettaiyyan who killed Chandramukhi is not the real vettaiyan but his friend who killed him and overtook his crown. So does that mean Rajinikanth's character from the first film isn't actually the real vettaiyan??! Also, there was no indication of Gunasekhar's broken leg in the first film?! No one touched Chandramukhi's room for 17 years, yet the room was super clean?!!! And I honestly never understood the back story of the samiyaar with Chandramukhi.
If the point of the movie is to be a sequel or a prequel to Chandramukhi 1, then, sorry to say, Chandramukhi 2 did not justify it.
ALSO, HOW DID HE NOT REALISED IT EARLIER THAT THERE IS FIRE WHEN THE WHOLE PLACE WAS LITERALLY BURNING DOWN. LIKE REALLY??!
The music and background score, in my opinion, did not meet expectations. I was looking away for almost all the songs :( Especially the very famous Raa Raa song. Very disappointed in this rearranged version.
The actors have done their roles nicely. Kangana has done a perfect portrayal of Chandramukhi's grace, elegance, and beauty. Lawrence was fine, even though sometimes it seemed like an exaggerated performance. Vadivelu, as always, rocked, but the comedy scenes weren't delivered as they're expected to be. Laxmi was a clever choice to portray Chandramukhi, and the revealing scene of her as Chandramukhi was simply well made!
Overall, if you aren't too much into detailed plotline and looking for a family entertainer to pass your time, then Chandramukhi 2, can be considered as a choice. :)
P. S. I still can't seem to wrap my head around how in the first scene, Pandian rode the bike straight into the bus and saved the kids AND how he managed to lift the girl out to that kolam. EPPUDRA.
