Chandramukhi 's plot revolves around a woman who suffers from dissociative identity disorder that affects a family, and a psychiatrist who intends to solve the case while risking his life. Joseph and editing was done by Suresh Urs. The soundtrack album and background score were composed by Vidyasagar. It is a remake of Vasu's Kannada film Apthamitra (2004), which itself was a remake of the Malayalam film Manichitrathazhu (1993).

Vasu, and was produced and distributed by Ramkumar Ganesan of Sivaji Productions. Moon-faced beauty) is a 2005 Indian Tamil-language comedy horror film written and directed by P. For the rest who are his diehard fans, they won't wait for any recommendation.Chandramukhi ( transl. If you aren't a Rajni enthusiast, I would recommend giving this a try to comprehend his compelling charm. Nayantara who plays herself in the film (as Ashok Kumar's heroine in Chandramukhi 2) adds to the glamour quotient. Meena (who played the same role in the Malayalam version as well) compliments him well.
To make his presence felt in a Rajnikanth film is an achievement in itself. While Rajni is the selling point of Kuselan, the story clearly revolves around Pasupathy. Playing film star Ashok Kumar, the role is seemingly designed on his real life character of superstar Rajnikanth and through this film the actor attempts answering several questions surrounding him as to why hasn't he entered politics, why does he prefer to work in potboilers and why does he regularly visit the Himalayas? His entry song 'Cinema Cinema' works as a tribute to the 75 years of Tamil cinema and simultaneously ascertains Rajnikanth's stardom with footages showing fans worshipping his kingsize posters. Undoubtedly the film works primarily for the presence of Rajnikanth. Some flashback account of their childhood companionship could have helped. Also the friendship between Balu and Ashok only surfaces in the last scene but is never established throughout the film. The only glitch is that it opts for an end of convenience and not conviction. There's a poor protagonist, a superstar, a crazy comedian and a seductive item-girl. Kuselan is your standard South Indian masala with the prescribed dose of action, emotion, comedy, music and drama. Irrfan Khan plays the role of barber in the Hindi version. For the uninitiated the same Malayalam film is being remade in Hindi by Priyadarshan as Billo Barber starring Shah Rukh Khan in the role of the superstar. Kuselan is a remake of the Malayalam film Katha Parayumpol that released just last year. Subsequently the two childhood buddies reunite. As cinematic coincidence would have it, towards the end of his speech he also makes a mention of his friend Balu. In the climax Ashok Kumar gives a public speech at a school function where he talks of how modernization has changed people's outlook today. Also he fears that Ashok Kumar might not identify him.
A man with immense self-dignity, Balu attempts to approach the superstar but his poverty-struck state stops him from doing so. They go out of their way to lend support to the indigent barber. Everyone from the landlords of the village to the principal of his children's school wants to get in touch with Ashok Kumar through Balu. Balu who was the laughing stock of the village suddenly turns the center of attraction. Slowly a word spreads that Balu and Ashok were childhood friends. The star-struck villagers go crazy as sets of Chandramukhi 2 are erected in the Maraiyur and are overjoyed to catch a glimpse of the superstar. One day news arrives that Superstar Ashok Kumar (Rajnikanth) is coming to shoot in the village. Balu, however, has no complaints with life. His rival Shamugam (Vadivelu) has a swanky salon and a team of duplicate policemen who get him his imposed clients. He doesn't earn enough to pay his children's school fees and is even deprived of a loan from government for a single spinning chair in his salon. Balu (Pasupathy) is an impoverished barber in the small village of Maraiyur who lives with his wife Sridevi (Meena) and three children. The story of Kuselan is loosely inspired from the Krishna-Sudama episode from Mahabharata. As he made his first appearance onscreen, the audience went crazy dancing at the podium below the screen and I wondered if I was transported to Chennai. I was kind of discontented with the buzz that Rajnikanth only has a special appearance in Kuselan but was pleasantly surprised to see him in a full-fledged role. It only amplified my viewing experience as the mass-hysteria of Rajni fans over here is to be seen to be believed. For a change, I chose to watch the film at a suburban single-screener (that is the hub of South Indian cinema in Mumbai) over any swanky multiplex.
