yeh the original malyalam version had no special effects either...shobhana chandrakumar was just pure dancing...the thing is...the BB was a remake of the malyalam version which was more of a pshycological thriller...rather than a horror movie....but the tamil version chandramukhi was made as a horror film....the malyalam version was tweaked a lot when making the tamil remake, to give more importance to rajnikanth's character...and to make the film more OTT.....hence the special effects....and anything which rajnikanth had to combat HAD to be horrific...if not it will dilute his heroism...😆...
shobhana was more subtle and arugably the best of all the actors who played the character...the muvie won her a national award..deservedly..

Manichitrathazhu was an amazing movie...Shobana and Suresh Gobi had goos chemistry...I really didn't like the BW version of it....Vidya and Shiney weren't that much of a pair to me.
