Before start reading this report, you should keep in mind that Chandramukhi has already released in Hindi as Bhool Bulaiya with Akshay Kumar in the lead.
I already spoke to Mumbai friends and they have assured that they will give the report soon. Meanwhile our friend Mumbai Chakra said the first day reponse is mind boggling and many theatres including Maratha Mandir was Houseful yesterday. Malayala Manorama has reported that the movie has been released nearly in 100 theatres in many parts of North India including Mumbai.
Our member Balamurugan from Bhuj reports that (earth quake region), the movie has been released 4 shows in Modern theatres here and last night's show was Houseful and the response was thundering. What a major hiccup is they have chopped off Devuda Devuda and Kokku Para para songs. Without Devuda we couldn't imagine watching Chandramukhi. But our friends feel that they must have been chopped the songs to keep the length in minimal.
Reports added that the whole theatre witnessed pin drop silence at the climax hours. Ra ra song was in Hindi. Everybody came out from the theatre saying `Laka Laka.' Particularly Kids. If the impact is this, then do I need to say about its success? Superstar has captured North once again through Chandramukhi Hindi version after Sivaji.
Moreover this is first time a movie dubbed from Tamil to Hindi releasing here. Even Jodha Akbar ran in this theatre for one week only. So even if the Hindi version completed a few days run with average seating ? it would reap a great profits to the Hindi distributor.
Photos to follow soon??
