Pisasu (2014)

Mysskin gonna be a world director in 3 years

Pisaasu Movie - Director Mysskin has once again come up with a brilliant film that stands out in every frame. Pisasu differs from the usual horror tales, as it offers a friendly ghost -- not one that wreaks havoc and makes you shiver. In fact, there is nothing really supernatural in Pisaasu, in spite of being a horror flick. The ghost presented by Mysskin differs from the other frightening creatures of Kollywood Now, as it doesn't belong to the revengeful type. The very first scene starts with the blissful face of the heroine Prayaga Rose Martin (similar to the end scene of Irreversible) and as the camera zooms out you see the pool of blood. That's when you realize that she has met with an accident. The hero, a passerby rushes her to the hospital. She dies and enters his house as a Ghost. From here on, the director takes the film in an interesting manner till the well planned end. At less than two hours, the film has no dull moments. Even the Mysskin type of characters and fight scene don't bring the déjàvu feel. The music and cinematography are top notch and have Mysskin stamp all over. Some scenes are really frightening and so it is better not to watch with the kids. The only uneasy factor is the hero's hairstyle which hides his face and expressions at times. For those who have been fed with a regular supply of Hollywood horror films, Mysskin's Pisaasu might appear inadequate. Yet, the film offers Kollywood Cinema fans something refreshing in the Horror genre. And, it is definitely superior compared to most of the mass masala entertainers that Kollywood churns out nonstop. A must watch film for fans of good cinema. You will definitely fall in LOVE with the ghost. Performance : Naga Sai Prathish has given a brilliant performance, while Radharavi is powerful in his role as usual. Kalyani Natarajan impresses in her part as Naga's mom. Cinematography (Ravi Roy) : adds beauty to each frame and keeps it simple and straightforward. would focus on legs of people running, camera angles will be differently placed, fight scene will have people attacking in a phased manner, etc. Music (Arrol Corelli) : is a major highlight of the film. The background score is haunting. His violin pieces add the right effect to match the horror theme. HEART TOUCHING Editing (Gopinath) : has helped in hiding a few flaws in the narration
