The Chandramukhi AI Video prompt and model
Chandramukhi AI Video is made with Seedance 2.0 / 2.5 (you pick the tier) by ByteDance. The prompt behind it has 5 parts, and the timing is what makes or breaks it.
- Model
- Seedance 2.0 / 2.5 (you pick the tier)
- Mode
- Photo + motion reference to video
- Length
- 9 seconds, 9:16, 1:1 or 16:9
- Input
- 1 photo
- Replace The dancer in the original flicker clip is replaced by you, keeping its framing, pose and flicker timing.
- Identity lock Your photo is the only source for the face, skin tone, build, hair and hands; nothing of the original dancer remains.
- Costume A gold and maroon silk saree, temple-style jewellery and heavy kohl, with a veshti version for men.
- Corridor A dim palace corridor of carved pillars lit only by brass oil lamps, with no statues or idols.
- Beats and rules Calm pose, two flickers, then a sharp head turn into a glare; one adult, no blood, no film actors, no text.
Replace the classical dancer in the yellow and maroon silk costume in Video 1 with the person from Image 1…
Why it goes wrong when you do it yourself
- Asking a video model for "Chandramukhi" by name tends to pull in the film's actors, so the look has to be written out piece by piece.
- Without a motion clip the head turn comes out slow and floaty instead of a sharp snap.
- Horror prompts drift into blood and gore unless you rule it out.
- A plain text background loses to the reference clip's hall; the corridor needs its own instruction to replace it.

How to make your Chandramukhi AI Video video
Upload one photo
Face to the camera, one person, good light and no sunglasses. Your clothes do not matter, because the silk saree and jewellery are added for you.
Generate
Pick the quality and format and press Generate. The 9-second clip is usually ready in a few minutes.
Post it
The clip comes with the original flicker clip's sound. For the 2026 wave, many creators swap in the song "Raa Raa" in TikTok or CapCut.
What is the Chandramukhi AI Video trend?
Updated · videosi is an independent tool. It is not affiliated with TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, or with the owners of any trend, song, game or brand named on its pages.
The Chandramukhi trend is a Halloween-season transformation in which creators turn into a haunted classical dancer: a silk saree, temple-style gold jewellery, heavy black kohl, loose hair and an unsettling stare. The look is a nod to Chandramukhi, the 2005 Tamil horror comedy, whose story is built around the legend of a palace dancer named Chandramukhi.
The earliest popular post we found is a 23 October 2023 TikTok by a South Indian photo and dance creator: a dancer in a pillared hall whose face turns eerie as the light flickers, with about 2.1 million views. A week later, on 31 October 2023, a makeup transition into the same look passed 1.4 million views, and the costume has returned every Halloween since. In late October 2026 a new wave of creators posted makeup transitions and skits, many set to the film song "Raa Raa".
Almost every post comes from South Asian creators, and some of the most viewed ones include the film's own footage, which we leave out, so this page shows fewer examples than usual. Every example here is a creator's own remake.
The AI version keeps the timing of the original flicker clip and moves you into a dim palace corridor lit by oil lamps. You upload one photo, and the 9-second clip dresses you in the silk saree, jewellery and kohl and ends with a sharp head turn into a glare, with the original clip's sound added.
Chandramukhi AI Video: shot by shot
- 0-2 s
The pose
Full-length shot. You stand still in a classical dance pose, one knee bent and hands together at the waist, in a corridor lit by oil lamps.
- 2-4 s
First flicker
The lamps dip and flash dark. In the flashes your face turns eerie and wide-eyed, then the calm pose returns.
- 4-6 s
The calm
The light steadies and the pose holds, as if nothing happened.
- 6-9 s
The glare
The lamps flicker again and your head snaps sharply round to the camera into a fierce, wide-eyed glare that holds to the end.
- Throughout
The look
Gold and maroon silk saree, temple-style gold jewellery, ankle bells, loose hair and heavy kohl. No statues, idols or film footage.
Tips for a better result
Full face, eyes open
The glare is the payoff, so use a photo with both eyes clearly visible and no sunglasses.
One person only
Crop a group photo down to one face, or the model may pick the wrong person.
No heavy filter
A beauty filter changes the face the model copies. An unfiltered photo keeps more likeness.
Hair down works best
The look uses loose dark hair, and a photo with your hair down keeps the length and colour closest.
Good to know before you make a Chandramukhi AI Video video
- The silk saree, jewellery and kohl are generated and are not your own clothes, so outfit details vary between runs.
- The clip is 9 seconds and carries the original flicker clip's sound, not the film song. Add "Raa Raa" yourself if you want it.
- It is a spooky look, not gore: blood, film actors and statues of gods are left out on purpose.
- Likeness is not guaranteed, and the wide-eyed glare changes your expression. A failed render returns its credits automatically.
Chandramukhi AI Video: questions
What is the Chandramukhi trend?
The Chandramukhi trend is a Halloween transformation where creators turn into a haunted classical dancer in a silk saree, temple jewellery and heavy kohl, often with a sudden eerie stare. It began with a 23 October 2023 TikTok and returned in October 2026. videosi makes a 9-second version from 1 photo.
How do I make a Chandramukhi AI video?
Upload 1 clear photo of yourself to the videosi Chandramukhi page, pick the quality and format, and press Generate. You get a 9-second clip of you as the haunted dancer in an oil-lamp palace corridor, ending in a sharp glare, with no prompt to write.
Is there a Chandramukhi AI video generator?
Yes, videosi works as a Chandramukhi AI video generator in the browser on a phone or computer: 1 photo in, a 9-second video out. There is no app to install. It is independent and not affiliated with the film's makers, TikTok or CapCut.
What is the Chandramukhi AI prompt?
The videosi Chandramukhi AI video uses a 5-part Seedance prompt by ByteDance: replace the dancer in a short flicker clip with you, an identity lock, the costume, an oil-lamp corridor and the beats ending in a glare. We do not publish the full prompt, and you do not need to write one.
Is there a Chandramukhi filter or CapCut template?
Most Chandramukhi posts are real makeup and costume transitions, not a single filter, and CapCut templates come and go each season. videosi skips the makeup: 1 photo becomes a 9-second clip of you in the full look, which you can then edit in CapCut.
How much does the Chandramukhi AI video cost?
A 9-second Chandramukhi video on videosi costs 10 credits at Standard 720p or 5 credits at Standard 480p, more on higher tiers. Credit packs start at $6.99 for 10 credits and never expire, and a failed render returns its credits automatically.
What song is used in the Chandramukhi trend?
Many 2026 Chandramukhi posts use "Raa Raa", listed on TikTok as by Binni Krishna Kumar and Tippu, from the 2005 film. The 2023 original flicker clip uses its creator's own sound, and the videosi clip carries that sound; you can swap in "Raa Raa" when you post.
What does Chandramukhi mean?
Chandramukhi literally means "moon-faced" in Sanskrit-derived Indian languages, and in the trend it names the haunted palace dancer from the 2005 Tamil film Chandramukhi. Creators borrow her look, not the film footage, and videosi makes that look from 1 photo.
Is the Chandramukhi trend still going?
As of early November 2026 the Chandramukhi trend is fading after a Halloween wave that ran from about 24 October to 1 November 2026. It has come back every Halloween since 2023, so expect it again in October 2027. videosi keeps this page live.
Will the video use the actors or scenes from the film?
No. The videosi Chandramukhi video is written so the 1 person in it is you, and it never generates the film's actors or copies its scenes. Only the costume, the oil-lamp corridor and the glare are borrowed, as most creators do in their own remakes.
Why doesn't my Chandramukhi video look like me?
For the videosi Chandramukhi video, the usual causes are sunglasses, a side angle, a small face or a heavy beauty filter in the photo. Use 1 front-facing photo with both eyes visible. Heavy kohl and the wide-eyed glare also change your expression, so likeness in the last 3 seconds is never guaranteed.
Can men make the Chandramukhi video?
Yes, if your 1 photo shows a man, the videosi Chandramukhi prompt switches to a gold-bordered silk veshti and shoulder cloth with the same jewellery and kohl. Almost every post in the trend shows women, so there are fewer examples to compare with.
Can I use someone else's photo?
Only use a photo of an adult who has agreed. The videosi Chandramukhi video is made for 1 adult per clip and is not for children, real public figures or the film's actors.
Is the Chandramukhi video scary?
It is spooky rather than gory: the videosi Chandramukhi clip ends with a 3-second wide-eyed glare in flickering lamp light, with no blood or gore. It suits Halloween posts and is safe to share on TikTok and Reels.
