At one Time CM was running in 8 theatres at MADURAI, which is too too much for Madurai. But it is doing well now in Second Release Theatres Also.

Chandramukhi Created a One More New Record at Madurai. No film has run more than 50 Days on its Second Release at Madurai.

Now Chandramukhi has touched 50th Day at Moogambiga Theatre (Ambiga Theatre Complex where Baasah, Annamalai, Maapillai, Veera, Adiyasa Piravi & Nattukku oru Nallavan got released).

IT IS A SUPERB RECORD AND WILL HOLD IT FOR LONG TIME BY CM.

Now a days, running 50 days in more than a theatre at madurai are declared as HIT Films. CM ran more than 125 days in 4 theatres, which no other film (except SS Film) can touch for long years.

Record break at Tuticorini

Chandramukhi has created a new record in Tuticorin. This is the first film to more than 100 days with normal 4 shows. It is still running and heading towards 175 days.

Chandramukhi is the biggest crowd puller in Hydrabad

In the recent months after AP Govt took the bold decision of abolishing the slab system, Rajanikanth's block buster movie Chandramukhi amassed an amazing gross of 94 lakhs for its 100 days run. As per Maqsood, Chandramukhi is the last biggest crowd puller in the last 10 years at Devi 70MM A/C, as families and ladies throng to the theatre to catch the magic of Rajanikanth and enchanting performance of Jyothika. Probably this is the first movie that ran for 100 days after AP Govt abolished the slab system.

CM creating record again!  Running towards 100th day at Sanjose

CM was released simultaneously in Sanjose (USA) and everyone knows that it was running packed houses. However when "stranger" was released CM was taken out from Sanjose IMC 6 theatre for a week (Jun 17-23). After one week, CM was screened again from June 24th again on the same theatre in Sanjose.

Now Stranger has been removed after 3 weeks of its release where as our SS CM is still running.. even we have the movie screened for next week also... so when it will be 100th day for rest of the world it will be 93rd day.. (because of 1 week lost between Jun 17-23)

Whatever might be the case no other regional language film has run this much in the recent years.

'Chandramukhi' has created a new record in Hosur Town's Theatrical history. It broke the record set by Chiranjeevi's Movie - (Telugu Version of Mannan), that ran for 80 days, 13 years back..Since this movie was shooted in TVS Factory in Hosur, it ran for these days.

Chandramukhi broke the 13 year record because of Superstar Rajni, Rajni ,Rajni only. Even our Thalapathi Sathyanaryana headed a function conducted by the theatre owners last week in Hosur. Since Hosur is situated nearby Bangalore. most of the movies get pirated within a week...even though Our Chandramukhi created a record..

Chandramukhi creates records in all centres!

Chandramukhi has created history, as it continues to rock and is steady at all the 170 releasing stations in Tamilnadu where it is completing 50 days today. The film has broken all existing box-office records and the way it is going, it will complete 100 days in all releasing stations- a unique record for a film!

'Abhirami' Ramanathan, the chief of Tamilnadu theatre owners association says: "I have no words to describe Chandramukhi, which is once in a blue moon mega blockbuster. The ladies and family audience have made it an event". At Ramanathan's Abhirami theatre in Chennai, the film has collected a whopping distributor's share of Rs 39 Lakhs in 46 days breaking Padayappa record of Rs 34 Lakhs in 112 days!

At Santham theatre (Seating capacity 568), The film has taken a share of Rs 30 Lakhs in 46 days which is fantastic. Udayam complex in Chennai where Chandramukhi opened in three screens, the distributors share in 46 days is Rs 48.5 lakhs!

Heard of a place called Ukolathupalayam? It is a C-station near Tiruchi where normally a super hit collects a distributors share of Rs 30,000 to 40,000 as it is played only after the main stations. Now, here Chandramukhi was released simultaneously and the film has
given a share of Rs 3,25,000 already!

"Amazing", "Unbelievable", "Super" are the words being used by the trade to refer Chandramukhi collections all over Tamilnadu. All theatres outside Chennai are not willing to divulge collections figures fearing Income Tax raids!

Chandramukhi turns International superhit

Tamil superstar Rajnikanth's charisma seems to have spilled over to Andhra Pradesh, as his "Chandramukhi" has opened to a terrific response. "Chandramukhi": With Rajnikanth assuring that it would be his kind of film despite an off-beat plot; audiences are thronging theatres to watch the tricks of the veteran star. Will this prove to be his comeback film?

இரண்டாவது வாரத்திலும் ஈ நுழைய இடமில்லாமல் இருக்கிறது 'சந்திரமுகி' தியேட்டர்கள். சென்னை உதயம் காம்ப்ளக்ஸில் மட்டும் மூன்று தியேட்டர்களில் 'சந்திரமுகி' வெளியாகியிருக்கிறது. மூன்றிலும் படம் ஹவுஸ்புல். எப்போது ரிசர்வேஷன் கொடுக்கிறார்கள். எப்போது தியேட்டர் நிரம்புகிறது... யாருக்கும் தெரியாது.

திரும்புகிறவர்கள் அதிகம். சாதாரண நாள்களில் எழுபது ரூபாய்க்கு கிடைக்கும் டிக்கெட் நேற்று விலைபோனது ஐநூறு ரூபாய்க்கு. (கவுண்டரில் அல்ல) ஐநூறு ரூபாயை இழக்கிறோம் என்பதைவிட டிக்கெட்டை வாங்கிவிட்டோம் என்கிற மகிழ்ச்சிதான் ஒவ்வொருவர் முகத்திலும்.

பத்தாவது நாளிலும் இந்த போடு போட்டால் படம் இருநூறு நாளை ஈஸியாக தாண்டிவிடும் என்கிறார்கள். சிட்டியில் நிலைமை இப்படியென்றால் கிராமப் புறங்களில் நிலைமை இன்னும் விசேஷம். 'சந்திரமுகி'யை குறைந்த நாளில் அதிக தடவை பார்ப்பது யார் என்று அங்கு பந்தயமே நடக்கிறது.

போட்டி இல்லாத கிரவுண்டில் சிக்ஸர்களாக வெளுக்கிறது 'சந்திரமுகி'.

Sify : `Chandramukhi` is a hit in Bangalore!

Style king Rajnikanth’s Chandramukhi opened well in Karnataka. But the fact is that this bumper opening has not affected the collections of Aaptha Mithra. In its 34th week, Vishnuvardhana’s Aptha Mithra screening at 39 theatres all over Karnataka has collected over Rs.10 crores!

Meanwhile the three weeks ban on non-Kannada films releasing in Karnataka was relaxed in the case of Chandramukhi and Mumbai Xpress. Both the films had simultaneous release on April 14.

Chandramukhi is going great guns as there is a huge Tamil population here and only a minority of the audience watch both the languages. The Tamil audiences in Karnataka have not watched Aptha Mithra and they are thronging the theatres making the film a sure hit.

It was a feast day for black marketers on the opening day of Chandramukhi. Tickets were sold at a whopping Rs 500 in the black and serpentine queues are seen even after six days of release. The film is showing at Innovative multiplex, PVR – 5 shows, a day. In theatres like Urvashi, Naga, Nataraj, Lakshmi, Mukunda, Madeshwara, Sri Balaji and Vijay it is four shows a day.

`Chandramukhi` trounces `Chandrolsavam`!

Wednesday, 20 April , 2005, 12:17

It may sound bizarre but the truth is that Rajnikanth’s Chandramukhi has trounced Mohanlal’s Chandrolsavam, both released on the same day (April 14)!

In Trivandrum, Chandramukhi released in three screens at Athulya, Anjali and Dhanya and grossed Rs 7,11,545 in four days while Chandrolsavam in two screens Sreekumar and Kairali could manage only Rs 5,23,340 during the same period.

Chandramukhi is heavily inspired from Mohanlal’s classic Manichitrathazhu and was not expected to do well in Kerala. Surprisingly, the film has been well received and is doing better business than the three Malayalam Vishu releases.

Meanwhile Chandrolsavam is trimmed by 18 minutes to make it more racy and crisp but what the trade feels is that director Ranjit could have done this before release! Kochi Rajavu is holding on with 50 percent collections thanks to aggressive marketing campaign by Dileep&Co. But sadly Jayaram’s Alice In Wonderland, the best of the lot is floundering at box-office due to lack of publicity.

Vishu 2005 has turned out to be a nightmare for Malayalam film industry.

Film News: Chandramukhi Sells 2215 Tickets In Sanjose

Super Star Rajni Kanth once again proved his image with the collections overseas. As per the official reports 2215 tickets were sold online through www.secondshows.com in Sanjose before movie release and it was the record in the history of Indian film industry. The talk of the movie or the word of mouth publicity hasn’t affected the film with the indelible following Rajni had among the public. “The film continues to gain collections even in the following weeks”, says the distributors in Sanjose.

On the other hand many of the people have returned back to homes, as there wasn’t any place to park the vehicles or to get the tickets at the theatre.
