A Malayali classic! Manichitrathazhu has been remade several times - most notably as Chandramukhi (2005) and as Bhool Bhulaiyaa (2007). A spooky take on what feels like an old wives' tale, apparently a true incident in the 19th century. Shobana is a dancer by profession so watch for that! This film also produced legends like Priyadarshan, who has directed films in multiple languages.
