Purusha Pretham

In his third directorial venture, the ingenious Krishand has yet again surpassed himself with Purusha Pretham, a cinematic gem that explores a legal loophole in the justice system. This exceptional film offers a seamless blend of impeccable performances, avant-garde camera angles, a captivating musical score, well-crafted humor, and the thrilling elements of a procedural thriller. Purusha Pretham defies categorization and embraces a surreal spontaneity that is both intriguing and cohesive. Krishand's mastery of the art of filmmaking is evident in every frame of this uproarious masterpiece that perfectly captures the chaos of life's unpredictable twists and turns. The movie encapsulates numerous themes and genres with a finesse that leaves the audience in fits of laughter from start to finish. Krishand's talent deserves to be celebrated, and Purusha Pretham is a testament to his cinematic prowess.

Director Krishand outdoes himself once again in his third outing which centres around a loophole within the justice system. Purusha Pretham is such an outstanding package of a film - it has incredible performances, unique shots and camera angles, a fantastic score (by Ajmal Hasbullah), humour that arises organically within the screenplay, and even elements of a procedural thriller. In a style that worked wonders in Aavasavyuham, Krishand his writer Ajith Haridas put together a biting satire on the police and judicial systems, delivering comedy, thrills, and drama in equal measure. Purusha Pretham marks Krishand's direct entry into the commercial side of cinema, and without a doubt, this would have absolutely worked in theatres, probably emerging a sleeper hit.

I can't help but the laud the ENTIRE CAST - special mentions to Prashant Alexander, Jagadeesh, Jeo Baby, Darshana, and Devaki - for delivering brilliant performances. Those quick cuts (of hospital reports & bills, FIR copies, engagement invites, and newspaper clippings) were a nice touch, adding important details in such a diminutive way. The green and red colours (as seen on the poster) are prominent especially in the night shots, giving the film a neo-noir treatment. There's also the unconventional placement of characters on either edges of the frame. The attempt to create a distinct audio-visual palette is quite evident and the hip-hop & synth-infused music, I thought, was a terrific decision. I look forward to the day Krishand decides to collaborate with one of the Big Ms.

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.

Indeed an Interesting movie, humorous, unique way of storytelling and really loved the cast and plot. The cast and crew all have done justice to the role. The movie has a satirical feel also. All together ,a perfect cast are being crafted and approached by the makers. Super Sebastian ,the super cop played by Prashanth Alexander is the heart of the film.

Krishand ,the Director has created a universe which is dark and comical in its own way that has to be appreciated. The film is shot in a noir style. Darshana, as susanna has played the character so well that has worked out great for the film.

It is a must watch comedy thriller. Just give a try you won't be disappointed.

Malayalam cinema is reaching new heights with its recent releases, such as Romancham and Purusha Pretham. It's becoming increasingly clear that a movie's success depends on a combination of strong performances, a compelling script, and exceptional background scores, rather than just relying on the presence of a superstar.

One of the most underrated actors in Malayalam cinema is Prasanth Alexander, who has been a familiar face to Malayalees for some time but has not been given the chance to play lead roles until now. His performance in this movie is truly sensational, and credit goes to the director for choosing him to play the lead character.

It's also worth mentioning the exceptional background score of the film, which leaves the viewer speechless.

All in all, this movie stands out as one of the best releases in Malayalam cinema this year.
