"For Eg Chandramukhi failed badly at kerala."

HUH? what was that? it was a clear hit in kerala, as widely reported both in English and Malyalam media. Think it was Mathrubhoomi magazine which did a story on the megasuccess of CM and Anniyan and kerala, urging mal filmmakers to look at the changing trends in audience tastes in kerala. i think it was a highly creditable show by CM considering it was the remake of a film every mal movie buff knows like his palms. more so, considering it released in kerala along with mohanlal's chandrolsavam (which eventually bombed).

about the quality of these three films, there's absolutely no denying that manichitrathaazhu is the best, any day though i found the CM climax the best of the lot - racy and very gripping.

CM worked coz it was a surprise for the general audience who came in expecting a typical rajni film... plus this was the film in which he returned to his core audience of families and women.
