The trimmed edited version of Aa Karaala Ratri was watched by the core team of the film including director Dayal Padmanabhan, the actors and others. The film will now be sent for adding the background score.

The shooting for the film was completed on Ugadi day and now the editing and trimming is complete today in record time. The editing was done by Sri CrazyMindz. AKR is a suspense thriller starring Karthik Jayaram, Anupama Gowda and others.

The film has created huge curiosity for various reasons. The lead actors were part of the recent Bigg Boss Kannada season and were paired to play the lead immediately after that. The film is an adapatation of a play by Mohan Habbu.

Chandrika staring Karthik Jayaram, Srimukhi, Kamna Jethmalani, Girish Karnad and others is an entertaining film in the horror genre. But it is not only about horror, the film also has family drama and lots of entertainment. 

Director Yogesh combines good aspects of story and narration. JK plays a painter. He buys the house of his teacher. He and his wife go to live there. But there is something sinister lurking inside. Srimukhi is possessed and JK seems to know of a past that even he cannot fully comprehend.

The film is also a musical with Gunwanth coming up with some melodious tunes.

JK gives a wonderful performance but it is  Srimukhi who steals the show with her performance. She is glamorous when it is needed and scary when required. Girish Karnad has one of the best roles.

Chandrika reminds of Apthamitra and follows a similar trajectory in screenplay. The film can be watched by the entire family as it has  UA certificate. Go enjoy and get scared and entertained.

Chitraloka Rating 3.5/5

Hemanth says he is taking a big risk this time. 'I know I am taking a huge risk for this film. Our distributor Mars Suresh is ready to release the film in 100 theaters. But I am doing an experiment with this film. This is not a regular film and the audience will take some time to come to this film. I don't want to release the film in 100 plus theaters and struggle hard to sustain the theaters. Instead I am planning to release the film in only six theaters in the first week and if the audience takes it well, the distributor can release the film in 100 theaters in the second week. If the audience does not take the film well, then it is upto the distributor to release the film in as many theaters he wants' says Hemanth Hegade.
