What sets it apart
May contain story progression spoilers
The mansion's strange occurrences may come from Chandramukhi's ghost or suspicious relatives before Dr. Saravanan investigates.
Rajinikanth plays the psychiatrist and Vettaiyan Raja while Ganga and Chandramukhi remain central to the narrative's psychological and supernatural conflict.
Senthil and Ganga's unauthorized marriage provokes resentment among relatives and places the newlyweds within a tense extended-family household.
