P Vasu’s ‘Chandramukhi 2’ (Lawrence Raghavendra, Kangana Ranaut) is a generic “origins story” whose main achievement is that it is not totally unwatchable

is P Vasu’s latest spin-off of Fazil’s and it opens with a bunch of bad things happening to a very rich family. Someone ends up in a wheelchair. Someone dies. That sort of thing. Radhika Sarathkumar plays the matriarch. With her ever-changing wardrobe of silk saris, she seems to be waiting to celebrate Deepavali in those ads that come on our screens before the festival, and her huge necklaces make you worry for her lumbar health. But bigger worries are in store, so the family priest advises them to visit their family deity in their family hometown. One young woman scoffs at these beliefs. The godman says: Just like your ancestors’ DNA are in you, your ancestors’ presence exists in your hometown. This is a film where the double helix coexists with double roles and double-crosses. The tag line could be, “Cloned from the genetic material of the first “
