Chandramukhi 2
Chandramukhi 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 including Vadivelu (reprising his role from the previous film), 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 a poor critical and commercial response, in contrast to the success of its predecessor.
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 paralyzed 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 48 days from its new caretaker, Senthil's uncle Murugesan, and move in but are warned against venturing into the southern part of the palace. Pandian meets Lakshmi, who lives in the outhouse with her grandfather and tells him that exploring the palace is her wish. He tells her to meet him that night and that he will allow her into the palace. Curiosity leads Priya into the forbidden area, where she unwittingly releases Chandramukhi's spirit from a rangoli. Lakshmi gets caught by Gayathri while exploring the palace. Pandian informs the family of Lakshmi's wish to explore the palace. 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. Pandian tells them that an old sage living near the temple had informed him that a similar incident had occurred 17 years prior. Murugesan reveals that the incident did occur 17 years ago but everything was resolved then. 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, the significant location where Ramachandra Achariyar and Saravanan had previously exorcised Ganga. Upon inspection, Guruji discovers that someone has already entered the forbidden room thereby unleashing Chandramukhi's spirit for real. Initial suspicions fall on Lakshmi due to her earlier explorations but the family is shocked to see that Divya is the person possessed by Chandramukhi. A miraculous event follows as Divya regains her ability to walk which elates her but leaves the family in distress. Priya admits that she is the one who entered the forbidden room and found the anklet on the floor. 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. Next morning, Pandian sees Lakshmi sitting outside her outhouse. She reveal that she was unable to sleep last night after seeing Divya possessed by Chandramukhi. Pandian tells her that even he and the entire family were unable to sleep either. Pandian discovers that Murugesan and the manager are hiding in fear inside Lakshmi's outhouse and successfully chases them out using his tricks. Eventually, Lakshmi and Pandian fall madly in love with each other.
In a twist of fate after the family leaves to the temple for the prayers, Divya starts driving her car which shocks everyone. Pandiyan stumbles upon a secret room below Vettaiyan's room and becomes possessed by Vettaiyan by sitting on the throne. As Chandramukhi still possesses Divya, she attempts to harm Ranganayaki, her nieces and nephews by almost driving the car off the hill but a possessed Pandiyan thwarts her attempts and she manages to stop the car just in time. Delving into the past, Guruji learns from a sage about the bitter enmity between Vettaiyan and Chandramukhi.
King Vettaiyan and his commander Sengottaiyan had conquered the Vijayanagara Kingdom where Vettaiyan was smitten by a dancer named Chandramukhi. He requested Sengottaiyan to forcibly bring Chandramukhi to Vettaiyapuram. When Sengottaiyan too becomes enamoured with Chandramukhi's beauty after sawing her during bath, it ignites a confrontation between Vettaiyan and Sengottaiyan, resulting in Vettaiyan's beheading by Sengottaiyan. Subsequently, Sengottaiyan proclaims himself as king, adopting the name Vettaiyan. Despite Chandramukhi's 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 and eventually meets his end through a fatal snakebite.
