Witches & Ghosts & Eunuchs, Oh My! KANCHANA Brings Scary Hijras To Kollywood
Two in a row where I don't know what to say.  Kanchana is a sequel to the Tamil film Muni, with a returning main character and nothing much else to connect them.  This is another trailer I've been staring down for a while, trying to find an angle.  It turns out, I don't really need one. I'm going to let Wikipedia do the talking on the synopsis front, but I do know that the songs feature a LOT or scary hijras (the ancient name for South Asian transgendered male to females persons), and some not so scary CG snakes.  The stuff is pretty nuts, I'm not sure if I want to see it, but it's been getting decent reviews, maybe I'm wrong.  Anyway, here's Wikipedia's shot at a synopsis, and if you can understand it, bully for you, I'm just gonna watched the videos:
Raghava Lawrence is a carefree boy and he loves to play cricket with friends. Though he is daring and dashing during daytime and could be able to thrash even goons, he is a timid fellow during night as he was scared of darkness and ghosts. He stays with his brother Sriman, sister-in-law Devadarshini and mother Kovai Sarala and two children of his brother. While searching for a good playground, Raghava and his friends find a vacant place and clean it and make it a good playground. Unfortunately, that place belongs to one eunuch called Kanchana (Sarathkumar).

In fact Karthik, a boy was pushed out of home in childhood for behaving differently and for showing the signs of a girl, though he was a boy. Knowing that he is behaving like a girl because he was a eunuch, a Muslim brings him up with the name 'Kanchana'. Noticing that everyone hates eunuchs for no fault of theirs, 'Kanchana', who had an ambition to become a doctor, adopts another eunuch and gives her good education and makes her to study sincerely. Her efforts turn fruitful and that girl stands first in her plus 2 studies. The school which gave her education agrees to bear the entire expenditure for her MBBS course. But, Kanchana saves Rs 25 lakh for her education and she wants to spend the money to build a hospital and purchases land. Local MLA (Devan) unauthorisedly occupies that land. When Kanchana goes to the MLA to question him, Kanchana, the Muslim, who brought her up and his mentally challenged son get killed by the MLA. So Kanchana turns a ghost and decides to avenge her killing. It was the same land where Raghava and his friends cleared for playing cricket. Raghava unknowingly brings the three ghosts to his home along with him.

Raghava's mother and sister-in-law find Raghava behaving indifferently by wearing sarees, using haldi while taking bath and wearing the bangles. Noticing this, they approach a Muslim peer in a dargah to throw them away. The Muslim Peer captures the ghosts and questions who were they and Kanchana reveal the entire flashback. The Muslim Peer ties a thread to Raghava and warns him not to remove it as it may bring back Kanchana. Whether Raghava removed the thread to help Kanchana avenge her death? Did Kanchana able to teach a lesson to the MLA? Did Kanchana's ambition to build a hospital for her adopted daughter was fulfilled? Answers to all these questions form part of the climax.
