It was supposed to be terrified. BTW Laka Laka Laka Laka doesnt have any meaning in Tamil also. May be a Telugu world (mmm no), but it supposed to scare people and it did scare few people who are weak.

Interestingly CM was viewed in different centers as different movie

A Center (metros) - Split personality movie and Rajni is a doctor
B Center - Confusing. Initially they said its a ghost and finally they say its something happened in child hood. What the hell is happening
C center - Ghost movie. Rajni is a priest coming from USA

Net Net, A and C center have "clear" idea.

BTW speaking of terror... when I watched "The Ring" I got a phone call, and the next thing I did was to shut off the DVD, TV and go to bed. Ofcourse I didnt pickup the phone

"Laka Laka Laka Laka" - definetly acheived what it set out to do . i was doing it all day to my young padawans ( ok - the star wars fever has stuck me !)

I always thought it was funny when people said it was a "ghost" film - now i am getting the feeling that people did not watch the movie at all - they merely wanted to watch rajini in all his glory !

Speaking of "The Ring" - every person i have talked to associates the movie with a phone call he/she gets - funny how an urban legend is born

lucky you saw it in DTS. i saw 2 channel surround. the audience also laughed, mainly at the plot of the film. the final 20 mins of the film was a laugh riot due to it's absurd plot. "Laka Laka" just added to it. It doesn't mean anything. I think they tried to make Rajni do something new for a change, you know like how he swings cigarettes. heh. anyway, that laka laka crap is also in the telugu soundtrack of this film.

I listened to that Raa Raa song many many times before I actually went to see the film, and one of my friends was so curious about what happens in the film when he says "Laka Laka Laka"


haha, same here. i was doing it to my friend.
