Poochandi

I'm a Malay and a Muslim. I watch this movie with no expectations. It was trending in Netflix and Imdb reviews is good. Was rather skeptical but meh, I just watch it. Within minutes, I got hooked. In the end, I was blown away.

The best thing about this movie is the story and writings. So stop reading about the plot. Cinematography is also good. The acting by leads is good.

Few things this movie can improve. The setting/house is a bit unrealistic. Coin seller living in that kind of house? Also, it feels a bit low budget. But thats ok. Could use better supporting cast.

Overall, if you like horror movie with good story, this movie is recommended.

I regret it took me long to watch the movie. A gripping storyline, amazing cast & the subtle touch on Malaysian history, more than proud of watching this movie getting the recognition it should. I loved how they connected each dots towards the end. In the midst of commercial, masala Malaysian movies, more than proud to watch movies like Poochandi. Dear Malaysians especially Malaysian Indians do watch this movie in your nearest theatre.. 💪🇲🇾

With a gripping storyline and amazing cast. A whole different level of Malaysian Tamil movie. A subtle touch on the history is too good to be missed. Congratulations to the team!!

I didn't have the chance to watch Poochandi in theatres, thankfully it's available on Astro First.

Firstly, I love the concept that was put forward in this film. Love how the director managed to fuse ancient practices, ancient civilization, religion and Malaysia seamlessly into this gripping story. This film is not messing around with that usual elements that you find in local films.

It feels very genuinely Malaysian without having any South Indian filmmaking flavor that we are all accustomed to, hence the result is very impressive. I can see the amount of research that went into crafting this story.

Overall it's a stunning Malaysian horror film. I won't say it's as good as South Indian films because I believe South Indian films are not a benchmark for filmmaking. We Malaysian have so much of stories to be told: that's unique to us and our ancestry. After Jagat, Poochandi is truly a benchmark for local made films.

Kudos to Wickneswaren Kaliaperumal for this impressive work. I should've watched it in theatres.

Easy 8/10 for me.

A great storyline and a fantastic film that must be seen. The director, casting staff, and the entire team did an excellent job. I couldn't take my eyes off the climax sequence. Kudos to the Poochandi team.
