Nonureva Really Surprised!

Ploydsge just watch it!

Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

ronyrajumc Manichithrathazhu is considered as one of the best thrillers ever made in India as well as one of the best Malayalam films ever made. Manichithrathazhu was remade after nearly 10 years in various languages, including Tamil (Chandramukhi), Kannada (Apthamitra), Bengali (Rajmohol), and Hindi (Bhool Bhulaiyaa), all being commercially successful.

Sandeep Hari The Ornate Lock ('Manichitratazhu') was a film directed by the gifted director Mr. A M Fazil. Combining stellar acting by veteran actors - such as Mohanlal, Thilakan, Shobana; with a well written script which was perfectly executed; the movie easily became a runaway success and a definitive benchmark for psychological thriller films in the history of Indian (if not World) movies.Centering around the weird ways in which an unwell human mind can behave , especially when under the power of suggestion; the role of Ganga proved to be turning point in the life of the actress Shobana. Similarly, evoking subtle mannerisms of a trained parapsychologist; Mohanlal was able to easily bring to awe even his dire critics.Though remakes of this film were attempted and done in many other languages, sadly, none were able to create the impact that this movie had made in the mind of movie goers.

Pratheek Sukumar An amazing psychological thriller and the best movie of the century. The humors introduced between the story makes it more colorful. I watched this movie for the first time when I was a kid and have watched it over a 100 times till now. I bet no movie can beat it in future. All the actors have given their best, totally dedicated to their respective roles. It was indeed the turning point for the malayalam film industry. No matter what this movie cannot be recreated and any attempt to compete with this movie would be a waste of time.This movie impressed and was applauded by the entire country and hence it was remade in almost all other languages.

Shine Raj This was one movie which really impressed me in 1993. Writing a review after so many years is a proof of how much sense it makes to me even today. Malayalam movies are always ahead of the rest of the country in making meaningful and realistic stories. That too on quarter of the budget a Bollywood movie is made with. This movie was a masterpiece work from Fazil. This movie also had another 6 A list directors doing diff segment of this movie, like the comedy part was done by Priyadashan. This movie was later made into a Tamil, Kannada and Telungu all which turned out to be super duper hits. Plans are in the pipeline to remake it in Hindi. But the essence of the movie is being lost in the translation. The 1993 Malayalam version is the best yet. This movie was well made and well received my all the generations of Keralites. A must watch if u like horror, thriller or friction movies.
