The natives are not doing bad either. Remya Nambisan has two movies, Anthiponvettam and Shalabham while Padmapriya too has two movies, Suhruthu and Veeralipattu. The other heroines we will be seeing in the near future include Vimala Raman (Kolkotta News), Priyanka (Kichamani MBA), Mythili (Subhadram), Roma (Chocolate), Bhama (Nivedyam), Udayathara (Patham Udayam), Divya Vishvanath (Indrajith), Indraja( Indrajith), Urvasi (Suhruthu), Lakshmi Sharma (Ayur Rekha), and Samvritha (Kalchilambu).

Looks like Kavya’s plan of sticking only to Malayalam movies playing heroine to Dileep and Prithviraj did not work after all.

In Madhuchandralekha’s preview we were hoping that Raghunath Paleri, who wrote screenplay and dialogue, would do a good job and provide us with one of those beautiful movies, as he had done in the past. But the movie reviews tell a different tale, the story and screenplay has let the movie down.

Sify.com says:

The story, concept and presentation are totally bizarre and may have worked in the 70’s and 80’s. Rajesenan and his scriptwriter Raghunath Paleri go haywire and overboard as comedy characters ham outrageously to tickle your funny bones. Jayaram looks bewildered though he has lost weight and looks good in costumes designed by his wife Aswathy Jayaram. Mamta lacks screen presence and the typical Malayalee looks. The songs by M.Jayachandran are melodious especially the title song. One really hopes that Jaylockquote>aram gets a better script in his next outing!

Rediff.com has mixed feelings about the movie:

The pull of nostalgia was palpable from the beginning, of course, but the million dollar question is: has it satisfied audiences? It will be fair to say that you come out of the movie hall with mixed feelings. Madhuchandralekha has its moments, but they somehow do not fit in with the whole. It depends on Urvashi’s antics, without her getting any support in the form of a story or characterisation
