Four Youths
Chandu (Chiranjeevi Sarja), Aishu (Shaanvi Srivastava), Praveen (Nagashekar) and Sadhu Kokila decides to commit suicide. Aishu will face lot of trouble from the ghost.
Sadhu Kokila And Nagashekar
The two comedy masters Sadhu Kokila and Nagashekar are the show stealers in the first half of the movie with their amazing comedy timing and mannerism.
Chiranjeevi Sarja
As Chandralekha is the second horror movie for Chiranjeevi Sarja after Whistle, he is commendable in his role. There is no difference in his acting from his previous movie.
Shanvi Srivastava
Shanvi Srivastava is a promising actress, who has been introduced to Kannada films from Chandralekha. She is impressive in both the shades - as a common girl and devil character.
Music And Cinematography
Music is given least importance in the movie. More than songs background score is impressive. Ravi Kumar should be appreciated for his amazing camera work, which is the main highlight of the movie.
Direction
Though Chandralekha is a remake movie, director Om Prakash Rao is successful in giving the native touch for the script.
Verdict
The movie has proportionate mixture of comedy and horror. Chandralekha is one time watchable. The movie has very slow pace in the first half. A must watch if you are Chiranjeevi Sarja's fan.
