The Kanchana series, also known as the Muni franchise, is Raghava Lawrence's wildly popular horror comedy saga. Here is how to watch every film in order.
Raghava Lawrence writes, directs and stars in this Tamil horror comedy series, playing a timid man who is terrified of ghosts until he becomes possessed by vengeful spirits. Starting with Muni in 2007, the franchise exploded with Kanchana in 2011 and became one of the most successful horror series in South Indian cinema. Kanchana was also remade in Hindi as Laxmii.
π Release Order
Release order follows the franchise from its first film through the Hindi remake.
- Muni (2007)
- Kanchana (2011)
- Kanchana 2 (2015)
- Kanchana 3 (2019)
- Laxmii (2020)
Each sequel tells a new ghost story with Lawrence in the lead, so there is no strict timeline, but the films are numbered in order.
π Story Chronology
Story order follows the numbering, with Laxmii as an optional alternative take on Kanchana.
- Muni (2007)
- Kanchana (2011)
- Kanchana 2 (2015)
- Kanchana 3 (2019)
- Laxmii (2020)
Which Order Should You Choose?
Since every film is self-contained, you can jump in anywhere, but release order is the best way to enjoy recurring jokes and family characters. Most fans agree that Kanchana is the highlight, so if you only watch one, make it that. Hindi viewers can try Laxmii, starring Akshay Kumar, after seeing the original.
