Well, this is not a good indication for the movie as the weak trending on the weekdays will make Chandramukhi 2 an underperformer at the box office. However, the collections are much better than Kangana’s previous films like Dhaakad, Thalaivii, Panga and Judgementall Hai Kya. Directed by P Vasu, the horror-comedy also stars Lakshmi Menon, Vadivelu, Raadhika Sarathkumar, Mahima Nambiar, Srushti Dange, Subiksha Krishnan, Mithun Shyam, Ayyappa P. Sharma, Sengottaiyan and Ravi Mariya. Talking about the review, Firstpost gave _Chandramukhi 2_, 1.5 stars and wrote, “Kangana Ranaut doesn’t really make an impression as Chandramukhi in the film. It is not really about the screen time for her character, but more the style of acting that she has decided to inculcate for the film. In a word, melodramatic. I am looking forward to some creative memes, especially of the scene in which she is forced to witness her lover get beheaded.”
