SF mama, also check out kunju kuran - a routine fare which was remande in tamil as perazagan. in the original, Dilip's very good as the hunch back. truly super effort. the whole movie he walks the same way and those expressions and all were very good.
I havent seen the tamil version yet. am sure Surya would have done it well.

C Mama:
No, the director of Vishnu is Shazi Kailas and not Faazil. Faazils only telugu movie is Killer with Nagarjuna i the lead.
Vishnu was the very ill-prepared and badly executed debutant movie for any hero. But that is for another day 
My bad, it was indeed a Malayalam movie, I have said Tamil.
Yes I have seen Vismaya Thumbathu after being referred by a Malayalee friend. It is awesome, kind of at par with Manichitrathazzu.

A Review from the web.
Stunning! is the word for Fazil`s new psychological thriller Vismayathumbathu. The film is a supernatural story that does not rely on too much of graphics or special effects and Computer Generated Images (CGI). The scare comes from the sliver of possibility - “What is happening may come true”!
The film has a solid story, great acting and a surprise climax that not even a jaded critic like yours truly saw coming. Fazil has made it believable; despite the heights you have to take your mind to believe the story premise. It is not a typical horror thriller, although there are some frightening images which are sure to find you on the edge of your seat.
Fazil`s skill lies is combining supernatural with everyday life. Seekumar (Mohanlal) is a man with extraordinary IQ who has also a sort of sixth sense. He comes to the city as he gets an intuition that “someone is calling him”. His friend at school Govindan Kutty (Mukesh) and Chandran (Harisree Asokan) welcome him and find a house for him. At night he meets a girl inside one of the locked rooms in the house and mistakes her to be a call girl whom his friends had arranged. He summons Govindan Kutty and Chandran and soon discovers that the girl is a spirit whom only Sreekumar can see and feel! The spirit is in search of herself and she seeks Sreekumar`s help to find out who she is? Sreekumar realizes that she is Reeta Mathews (Nayantara) a brilliant medical student who is in the missing list of police, from the day of her journey to US for higher studies!
Sreekumar and the spirit try to find the truth behind Reeta Mathews missing, as relatives, friends, police and doctors believe that Sreekumar has gone nuts. Slowly Govindan Kutty and Chandran are convinced about the presence of the spirit who can only see and communicate through Sreekumar. Together they try to solve the mystery which leads to a stunning climax.
Vismayathumbathu isn`t the usual comedy though there are comedians like Salim Kumar, Kalpana, Cochin Haneefa and Harisree Asokan to break the intensity of the film. Finally it is not a romantic film though love is the underlying theme in the film. Suffice to say that the film will surprise and mesmerise you. Truth is stranger than fiction, to Fazilts credit he does not blunt the edges of the believe it or not story material.
Fazil`s control over the medium is outstanding. The meticulous and carefully written screenplay accelerates towards the climax which is absorbing and spell-binding. Only after the film’s chilling conclusion will you be able to fit the pieces of this ingenious super natural puzzle together.
Everyone in the cast is outstanding from a burly Mohanlal who is amazing as usual. Mukesh as Govindan Kutty and the rest of the cast are good. But it is Nayantara as Reeta Mathews who has stolen the thunder with her author-backed role. The music of Ouseppachan is impressive and suits the mood of the film.
Vismayathumbathu is an audacious mind game that is simply unmissable.

By the way if you are interested Faazil has recreated the "mystery magic" in Vismayathubathu.
Mohan Lal in the lead this movie also revolves around a "female character" enacted by a debutante -- I forgot her name from the article that I read.
The suprising thing is the teh female lead is a "spirit" and not a real character and she is only visible to the hero. Added to that she is a spirit with Amnesia and Mohan Lal has to work his way through the dead person amenesi and find out her past.
OTOH, Coming ot the point of Rajani repeating the role of Dr.Sunny Joseph, Fazzil cast the character again in this movie with the same name but a different actor.

Chalam Mama:
I have opened a thread in IBDB about two years ago about this movie. It is a classic is also available in Telugu as "Aatma Raagam". It has a catchphrase "attetamaaina oorpu" (read abnormal paience) that became very famous during those days.
This movie is about schizophrenia and Shobana is hilarious, the supense factor in the movie was impeccable and the direction of Faazil is top-notch.
I have watched bot the Telugu nd Tamil versions, and surpisingly the tone and momentum of the movie do-not fade in comaprision to the Tamil orginial.
Suresh Gopi's character is stoic, Shobana is extemely growing on the viewer and the scenic beauty of the village is good. The in-house(ancesteral house) horror leaves you wanting for more.
Especially when weird things happen and you cannot even identify the root cause. When is say weird they are not abnormal or unrelated stereotypical horror renditions, but those that are clearly interwoven into the story.
Shobana received her first national award for tis movie followed by Mitr after a long gap of 10 years.
A must see for excellent screenplay, good casting and intersting topic.

the mallu film being talked about is a SUPER film with excellent perf,. from shobhana and Mohan lal. it's about a schizophrenic and the way fables are interwoven etc. is fantastic. also, the climax that they weave, the build up, suspense is all very very good.
only thing is that if he is enacting mohan lal's character, thats very small and comes in the second half. they will have to do a major re-write.
