Mr. Chandramouli Reviews:
Mr Chandramouli is releasing in India on Friday, July 6, while it released in a few foreign countries a day before. Here, we bring you the comments posted by the viewers about the Gautham Karthik's flick:
Heytamilcinema: @ArtisteKarthik gets good screen space in a movie after a long time who has done it in an usual cool and casual manner. @varusarath once again surprises with a different role tht most heroines won't opt for. Brave of the actress to do such roles(3/5)
Coming to performances, @Gautham_Karthik gave a neat performance especially with the challenges in the second half. @ReginaCassandra did a decent job who gets to do a little bit more than the usual heroine. The pair looked apt on the screen!(3/5)
@SamCSmusic BGM once again stands out along with the good songs that are highly misplaced serving as huge speed breakers.
Camera by @Richardmnathan looked very lively and brilliantly shot 'Yedhedho Aaneney' visuals shows the calibre of the man(3/5)
@dir_thiru has come up with a back and forth screenplay type alike some of his previous movies. He is nicely supported by the technical department adding value to the scenes especially in the second half. Despite too many angles, presented it neatly.
Ramesh Bala: #MrChandramouli [3/5]: @dir_thiru has written a good commercial entertainer keeping several right ingredients..
The twists and turns in the 2nd half, his signature hero with a rare disability, giving a meaningful role to #Karthik etc., make this movie worth a watch..
DOP @Richardmnathan best efforts are seen in the #yedhedhoaanene song..
Music Composer @SamCSmusic 's reputation continues with his awesome work in BGM..
Editor @editorsuresh has made sure, there is no lag anywhere..
@ReginaCassandra has worked hard - whether song sequence or her own dubbing.. Good outing for her..
@varusarath is another surprise package of the movie.. Small role, but she makes a good impact..
@actorsathish provides the comedy relief in the movie..
@Gautham_Karthik delivers a solid performance with his sincere acting.. His successful run continues..
Actor #Karthik has a substantial role, not only as a Father Character, but also has an interesting angle to his role, a pleasant surprise..
A good entertainer which offers something for everyone.. Father - Son Sentiments, Romance, Action, Comedy and Thrilling Elements..
How the hero with a rare physical disability is able to nail the villain is the USP of the movie..
Sreedhar Pillai: #MrChandramouli #Karthik & @Gautham_Karthik coming together is the USP, father-son bonding & emotional connect drives the film especially last 25 minutes which is riveting. Rich production values.
Kaushik LM: #MrChandramouli 2nd half - @dir_thiru keeps it interesting with a medical handicap to challenge the hero in his pursuit of the baddies. The father - son emotions work well, thx to @Gautham_Karthik's performance. @varusarath - Karthik episode is something different for Tamil.
#MrChandramouli 1st half - Call taxi crimes add violent drama and conflicts to the plot. Has all the other commercial elements - romance, father - son sentiments, comedy, a sporting hero etc. @Gautham_Karthik - @ReginaCassandra make a good pair. @samcsmusic impresses overall!
bharathnt: Watched #MrChandramouli today. Good show by @dir_thiru. Karthik is back in style. Luvd his scenes with @Gautham_Karthik . Well written with twists , it speaks about a serious issue too. All the best @Dhananjayang

Congrats @Dhananjayang sir
Surely 3.50/5
Sidhu: #MrChandramouli: Like Naan Sigappu Manidhan, @dir_thiru introduces a weakness for the protagonist and builds his story around the tackling of the same. Nice new stride with the idea and incidents surrounding it.
#MrChandramouli: After Rangoon, impressive outing for @Gautham_Karthik as an actor. The whole 'Theeradho Vali' episode in the 2nd half is the best example. @SamCSmusic' score shines big time - huge pillar of the product!
#MrChandramouli: Neat attempt at a commercial thriller with father-son bonding as it's base and a ticking surprise element. Levelled first half, interesting and twisted second.
