Story:
Like almost all horror films, the film is in a bungalow. Arjun (Karthik Jayaram), marries Shilpa( Sree Mukhi).

He buys a bungalow from his guru Ravi Verma (Girish Karnad) and gifts his wife.
He wants to change the bungalow to an art gallery but Shilpa wants to live in it. They move into it. As the days pass on, Shilpa is disturbed by some strange sounds and scary movements take place. When Arjun tries to find out the reason , he was shocked to know that his wife is possessed by Chandrika (Kamna Jethmalani). The real story begins here.

Who is Chandrika? What is her relationship with the bungalow? Will Arjun save his wife from Chandrika?. This forms the crux of the story.

Performance:
Kamna Jethmalani gets to play the title role. She pulls off her role easily. The glamour quotient of the leading ladies is the only highlight in the film. Both the girls get to do some skin show and attract the audience.

Arun has nothing to perform and fails to impress this time. Girish Karnad has very little to do but he has justified it.

The rest of the cast including Satyam Rajesh and Tagubotu Ramesh entertain just play their short-lived characters.

Technical aspects:
The background music is not up to the mark for a horror film. Songs are ok but the placement of them is not good.

Editing could have been crisp. The slow narration will seriously bore you. Since it is a horror film, audience expect many thrills but the director fails to scare the audience. Cinematography and Production values are good

Plus points:
A few scenes in the first half
Glamour quotient

Minus points:
Weak and routine story

Slow narration

Rating: 2/5
Verdict:
Chandrika may not scare you much but try to attract you with her beauty.
