Shobhana chechi did full justice to the role. Btw, I have watched the dance sequence of Rajmahal. That is even more comical than Chandramukhi!!

I am thrilled to hear that you're from Rajasthan, and yet took the effort to watch a Malayalam movie. I am super, super thrilled! :D<br /><br />Hindi dubbing - well, frankly, I think that might not happen. When taking the effort to dub/sub-title movies, the reach would be a factor. Hindi being a regional language might not be the best option. I think English subtitles is a better option and should work for all. I believe Manichitrathazhu with English subtitles is around? <br /><br />By the way, how did you understand this movie then? You saw this, without subtitles, and yet were able to appreciate it this much? That's lovely! <br />Vinitha Valsalan Rakeshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02818387748653424845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29148094.post-84859571304459407662014-02-27T06:57:14.518+10:002014-02-27T06:57:14.518+10:00Hi Vinitha
I saw the Hindi version first coz I...Hi Vinitha<br /><br />I saw the Hindi version first coz I'm from a small town in Rajasthan. Then one of my Tamil friend recommended Chandramukhi which was quite different from the Hindi version. I liked the concept very much, that I did a little research on Wiki. Came to know that Manichitrathazhu was the original film. So I watched it! <br /><br />Since then I have become a fan of Mohanlal, Shobana and ofcourse Malayalam movies. <br />Every actor in the movie was brilliant. I am trying to learn Malayalam now. Saw some more movies of Mohanlal last week. Was very hard to understand most part but was able to figure the concept.<br /><br />I think the producers should release Malayalam movies along with their Hindi dubbing and/or subtitles so others can also understand and appreciate the class that Malayalam movies maintain and the original concepts they have in their movies.<br /><br />In the end, thanks a lot for writing this post. <br /><br />Abhishek<br />abhishekmathur99@gmail.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29148094.post-70814658547964559642013-09-11T01:13:40.524+10:002013-09-11T01:13:40.524+10:00Hey Anon!

I have watched all these remakes (except Bengali) and also the Telugu version (dubbed from Tamil) and am very sure you're in the money on your belief, the original is the best and nothings comes even close to the magic of Manichitrathazhu in Malayalam (I am a Telugu person, but manage to understand a little bit of Malayalam in movies)..<br /><br />~RamaraoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29148094.post-78148572244527641782012-11-17T04:11:13.835+10:002012-11-17T04:11:13.835+10:00Wow!

It's a ...Whatever u said about the film is true... It's a true masterclass... There was a big army behind this creation... Like in most hollywood films, Manichitrathazhu included a second unit crew for all the indoor shots, with the likes of Priyadarsan and Siddique-Lal for direction and a master called Venu, behind the camera... But the real backbone of the film, and the factor that makes us want to see the film again and again is the script... It's good that u commented on Lal's acting, 'cause he's simply superb... Saw Bhool Bhulaiyya too... It may be a hit in hindi, but the acting is sub-standard compared to the likes of Mohanlal, Sobhana, Nedumudi Venu and Thilakan (two names u didn't mention)... and the screenplay is the same (just a translation of dialogues)... even the camera angles are the same!!! and Chandramukhi???
