I do not care about who is upstaged. I am quite sure people can manage their own career. My point about this article is - it has nothing to support the claims made. I have seen the malayalam version - it is a very good movie and Shobhana is terrific in that movie. The same movie cannot be remade now in other languages without making it suit the current demands of audiences and making it more watchable. The first movie which looked at the original malayalam movie, changed screenplay and made an excellent movie out of the concept was Kannada movie Apthamitra. There is no mention of that. Chandramukhi was a remake of Apthamitra more than a remake of the malayalam movie. Apthamitra trailers and songs were so catchy, i do not get teh same feeling about this hindi movie. I have not seen teh tamil version, but it should be a good movie since it was remade from the kannada movie (and core story is same as malayalam movie). Please stop publishing such articles and waste everyone's time. Do something more valuable which would bring out positive things.

Apthamithra was a huge hit..... But it's not right that the hindi version is taken from Apthamithra.. There are various reasons for it and the 2 main reasons are 1) The director of the hindi version is Priyadarshan and he had directed some portions of Manichithrathazhu, the original movie and so its clear that hindi version is a copy of malayalm version. 2) Chandramukhi is a mixture of malayalam films manichithrathazhu, narasimham, and aaramthampuran. Then how can someone tell that Chandramukhi is remade from Apthamitra. Please make statements based on facts. Apthamitra, Chandramukhi and Bhool Bhulaiyya are remade from the malayalam film Manichithrathazhu...

Amisha is University gold medalist in her Graduation. So she has brains. Being buxom is a point not -ve. Who cares about acting when only hits matter in bollywood.

No. It is a remake of Manichitrathazhu, a malayalam movie. Even Chandramukhi was "inspired" by the original malayalam version...

Yes It is a remake of Manihitrathazhu, a malayalam movie. But the inspitration for CHANDRAMUKI was tremendous success of KANNADA version of Manihitrathazhu, AAPTA MITRA by Vishnuvardhan, Soundarya, Dwarakish, Prema
The movie Bhool Bhulaiyaa is all abt Akshay Kumar and Vidya Balan, and this is how the story is narrated. So the pic shown is very much right in this context. I found all hot stuff on rrl.co.in/blgspt

this movie is the copy of Malayalam film "Manichitrathazhu" and tamil/telugu film "chandra mukhi" ,which was a huge hit in all the languages. It is a suspence triller in the previously made versions. but in hindi they say it is a rather comic version,might be priyadarshan is trying to steal the movie as it is and any ways say Inspried by the original making a couple of changes here and their. like all the hindi movies now-a-days they all copy from Indian regioanl cinema of hollywood,because they lack brains,but their is always a few exception! but mostly not
