Purusha Pretham

Wow! Just wow! A one-of-a-kind attempt in Malayalam Cinema or even Indian cinema. An experimental film and a successful experiment too. It literally takes the police procedural genre for a twist with a good mix of comedy and mystery. There are a lot of one-liners and situational comedies that will make you laugh. The performances are all too good and the soundtrack is just too good. Cannot wait for the soundtrack and songs to come out. Don't think too much guys. Just try this film and have a good laugh forgetting everything. This was the funniest movie to come out this year after Romancham. Highly recommended.

Purusha Pretham is an impeccably crafted neo-noir satire that showcases outstanding performances from its talented cast. The film cleverly utilizes a flawed system as a platform to explore a range of themes, including caste-based discrimination, fragile male ego, and the oppression of women in a male-dominated society.

Alexander Prashanth delivers a remarkable performance as Sebastian, skillfully portraying the many layers of his character. Jagadish, who plays constable Dileep, is a delightful addition to the cast, earning our empathy with his convincing performance. Darshana Rajendran, in the role of Susan, is equally impressive, carrying the enigmatic character's mystery with ease.

Overall, Krishand's third feature film is a captivating satire that keeps the audience engaged with its witty writing, outstanding performances, and astute commentary on social issues.

I'm a huge fan of Mystery-Thriller Genre. So after searching over a lot of Social media platforms I came to know about this Malayalam movie 'Purusha Pretham / A Male Ghost'. It's kind of a funny thriller with impactful plot reveal in the end. So somehow fulfilled my interest for sure.

The plot is pretty simple regarding an unidentified dead body and to find whom the body belongs as well as reason of death. But the way the storyline progressed is not linear. A lot of funny sequences , Work culture of Police, Pressures from Higher authorities as well as from High Court ; hell lot of things happened during the investigation and they way plot got revealed in the final 15Min was just Mind Blowing.

All Actors performances were good. Screenplay was OK OK type and could have been edited a bit to make it little bit short in duration. Starting 25-30Min could have been definitely trimmed in it's length.

BGM was good but whenever Thriller BGMs run in the background it feels so freaking awesome as a viewers to watch. Cinematography was also good as it was a regional cinema with strict budget.

Overall a fun to watch drama which is safe to go with Family. From my side it will be 6 out of 10 for it.

Found it to be very hilarious. The black humour in it really worked out for me. I was LOLing in many scenes and dialogues. All the performances were good especially the guy who played the lead police character, the leading lady and the other policeman. The frames and all were very unique kind. Also the background music and songs of the movie. It elevated the film to next level. There is everything in the film. Comedy, twists, romance, songs. It is a complete entertainer to watch together with your friends. There is lot of laugh if you connect with the type of humour in the movie. Must watch definitely.

Krishand, the upcoming promising director once again mesmerized me with his new outcome, Purusha Pretham (Male Ghost). Unlike Vrithaakrithiyilulla Chathuram, Aavasavyooham Krishand changes his path into a neo-noir like crime, drama, or comedy thriller. I love the way of his narrative style and storytelling pattern. The movie talks about the life of a policeman named Sebastian (not only about his own story but also there lies the lives of entire police officers) who is on an investigation or quest to find out the traces and background of an unidentified dead body. Initially, that was not his intention but when the character of Darshana Rajendran comes he was insisted on doing so. The film also projects the inefficiency of the police departments while carrying such kind of issue. Great applause for the wonderful performance from Alexander Prasanth who did the role of Sebastian. Along with him, I love the acting of Jagadeesh who is well fitted in the character of a civil police officer, Dileep. Not only these two guys all the other characters justified their roles pretty well. When it comes to the technical side of the movie I feel strange about the disparate framing of the shots. The character is placed at one corner of the frame and other areas are completely vacant. I feel awful at the initial moment but when the movie goes nothing bothered me at all. The background score comes at regular intervals and feels some kind of rap mode in me. Comic scenes are not used intentionally but the humor revolving around those characters makes me laugh at some points. I like the film because of the disparate way of portrayal. A good, experimental one and surely a study material for the novices who are about to come to the industry.
