Chandralekha (2014 film)

Chandralekha is 2014 Kannada language horror comedy film directed by Om Prakash Rao, starring Chranjeevi Sarja and Shanvi, while Sadhu Kokila plays a supporting role in the movie.

The movie starts with Sudheer Babu, Praveen, and Nanditha planning a combined and flawless suicide because of failures in their respective lives.

After stealing a new car and slapping the local MLA, the trio flees to a nearby resort giving the police a slip.

At the end of the third day, Praveen asks Nanditha to kiss Sudheer to divert from death, per male psychology.

Nanditha, who observes Sudheer avoiding her to escape the wrath of the ghost, gets deeply hurt and depressed, resulting in a suicide attempt by slitting her wrist.

There these three drunk men break the boy's head with a champagne bottle and rape the girl.

She gains consciousness, and the movie ends with Saptagiri and Praveen watching the couple hugging each other.

A critic from The Times of India scored the film at 3 out of 5 stars and says "While Chiranjeevi Sarja does justice to his challenging role as a dejected lover, Shanvi Srivastav delivers an equally impressive performance.

[3] Shyam Prasad S from Bangalore Mirror wrote "Nagshekar and Sadhu Kokila manage to make the film worth all the trouble.

[4] B S Srivani from Deccan Herald wrote "Chiranjeevi Sarja would do a LOT better if he kicks his smoking habit, sheds weight, shaves his beard and works hard at dialogue delivery.
