Chandramukhi 2 is a 2023 Indian Tamil-language comedy horror film written and directed by P. Vasu, and produced by Subaskaran Allirajah under Lyca Productions.

The film stars Raghava Lawrence, Kangana Ranaut and Lakshmi Menon along with an ensemble supporting cast, that includes Vadivelu who reprises his role from the previous film, Radhika Sarathkumar, Mahima Nambiar, Srushti Dange, Rao Ramesh, Subiksha Krishnan, Suresh Chandra Menon, Ravi Mariya, Vignesh, and Y. G. Mahendran in pivotal roles.

Chandramukhi 2 was released on 28 September 2023 to negative reviews from critics and failed to reprise the success of its predecessor, becoming a box-office bomb.

The family faces a major setback when her elder daughter elopes, and a plane crash kills her and her spouse.

Further calamities include a mysterious fire at the family's factory and Divya getting paralysed in a car accident, postponing her engagement.

Seeking solutions, Ranganayaki consults their family astrologer, Guruji, who advises a prayer at their ancestral temple in Vettaiyapuram.

The prayer requires the presence of the entire family, including her elder daughter's orphaned children, now under Pandiyan's care.

The family then proceeds to Vettaiyan's courtroom, the significant location where Ramachandra Achariyar and Saravanan had previously exorcised Ganga.

Initial suspicions fall on Lakshmi due to her earlier explorations, but the family is shocked to see that Divya is the person possessed by Chandramukhi.

Guruji explains that a bead from Chandramukhi's anklet facilitated Divya's possession that she had worn, as she had a penchant for collecting antiques.

Pandian discovers that Murugesan and the manager are hiding in fear inside Lakshmi's outhouse & successfully chases them out using his tricks.

Sengottaiyan, a commander in King Vettaiyan's army, had conquered the Vijayanagara Kingdom and was smitten by a dancer named Chandramukhi, whom he forcibly took to Vettaiyapuram.

Unable to bear the torment, Vettaiyan retreats to his secret room, eventually meeting his end through a fatal snake bite.

With the spirits laid to rest, Ranganayaki's family finally performs the prayer at their deity temple & everyone is happy to see Divya completely cured and on her feet.

The ordeal concludes on a happy note as Pandiyan reunites with Lakshmi & leaves the palace with her and the children, ending the family's harrowing yet enlightening journey.
