'Pisaasu' is all about the incidents in life of a violinist after an accident occurred to a young woman,whom he admits in a hospital. There is a ghost theory, there are emotions, there is everything you will love to watch. It is engaging,emotional drama. Pisasu is truly a masterpiece. I can't talk about it much now. My eyes were moist for some scenes. Now I just can't explain the unexplainable. As everyone say I do not consider it for the Horror genre. Its something besides that, kind of a new Genre. Added to list of my favorites. Mysskin take a bow. #GreatFan of your screenplays. Highly recommended. Must Watch.
... View MoreThis is a very interesting film. On the face of it, a horror, it slowly twists, turns and melts into a love story. Scrape a bit more and it reveals an obtuse social commentary on marriage, affection and love in modern south India. Quirky generally, it follows a clear vision from Mysskin the director. To go anywhere into the plot would mean flirting in the spoiler realm. So suffice to say it's about a man who tries to save an accident victim, a woman. From here on, it cleverly seams into horror territory, only to swing away onto a strong, emotional stage.One of the best films of 2014 in Tamil (there have been quite a few), Pisasu is a must-watch.
... View MoreThis movie starts with an accident like in the previous Mysskin movie "onayum aatukuttiyum". The protagonist Siddharth, tries to help save the girl met with an accident, but the girl dies soon after reaching the hospital. Siddharth can't digest the fact that a beautiful girl died in his hands. He keeps her slipper as her memory. Soon after a few days he realizes that the girl dead in his hands is still with him. Siddharth tries to find the reason why she haunts his place as she is not related to him in any way . The movie ends with a unexpected twist for those who have not watched the 2004 psychological thriller movie "The Machinist" by Brad Anderson. Just the plot is inspired from The Machinist, not a complete rip off though. All the spooky stuff is Mysskin's hard work.Good acting by Naga and Radharavi. Especially Radharavi's acting in second half in a scene where he calls his daughter's ghost home is exceptional. The man of this movie is Mysskin. His movie angles are unique in his own way and good story telling throughout. He will keep you interested till the end of the movie. (His negative is his speech in public. He should learn to control his tongue, so he could grow bigger with silence. If someone accuses of plagiarism, just accept it, tell them that you go inspired with this film and give credits to the original movie maker. That's it, end of the story. After watching his speed, even a movie buff would think twice to watch this movie in theater) Definitely a good movie to watch in theaters. Not a jump scare movie though. Just keep an open mind and watch this movie. Mysskin would do miracles with the storytelling.
... View MorePisasu - saying it as a horror comedy, there is slight dominance of comedy in the movie, but its completely planned in the script. Because the ghost is not intended to scare you but it might end up you might start loving the character as the film progresses. Inspite of the fusing genres, it is strongly driven by emotional concept of "Forgiveness". The music and camera work is notable, in way I see a part of story telling is being done through camera. Radha Ravi scores with his performance even if it was for a lesser time scope. Why the ghost decides to stay with the protagonist is a little unclear, Because of love? or to protect him from her father?It's not a completely screaming horror, laugh out comedy or tear wiping emotional. Its a blend of all that makes it entertaining .
