Purusha Pretham

Purusha Pretham means Male Ghost. The title may give you the impression that this film is a horror movie. But, it's not. It's a dark comedy that satirises ...

The editing of this film is awesome, giving out a lot of details that help us to fill up the gaps and give a glimpse of what actual police reports look like. Sebastian delegates his share of the work to Dileep and Dileep trusts the caretaker at the graveyard to bury the body as per the procedure, and rushes back home to catch his favourite TV show. The manager takes Sebastian to the back of the bar and puts a beat down on him. The problem is Sebastian and Dileep, who have seen so many cases of unidentified dead bodies, might have not followed all the procedures as required by the law. It's as if the director is inviting us to fill it up with our imagination and reading of the movie. As Sebastian is getting beaten by a civilian, the movie poster of Suriya's Singam, plastered on a wall, comes into focus and reveals the irony of the situation. The irony lies in the fact that while on record there is so much effort is taken to protect the dignity of the dead, in reality, the opposite is true. The police department is understaffed and overloaded with so much work that it comes up short of its sworn duty— to protect the common people. Even though the younger members of his team volunteer to do the job, Sebastian insists on Dileep doing it. The cases handled by Sebastian have achieved the status of legend in police circles. Because the actual police work is not that exciting. The title may give you the impression that this film is a horror movie.

During the promotional interviews for his latest film Purusha Pretham, director Krishand admitted that literature is not his strong suit and he is more of a ...

And Krishand makes sure that the tools he has used to navigate into the lives of Sebastian and Dileep have a connection to the main plot. From caste-based discrimination and fragile male ego to the misery of women living in a male-favoring society (the characters played by Devaki Rajendran and Darshana Rajendran), Krishand includes a political layer to the story that never stood out. Just when you think the movie is getting diverted into the personal lives of Sebastian and Dileep, it comes to the central plot fiercely. And to make it a lot more unsettling, he uses an unconventional framing where characters are mostly on the extreme edge of the frame. Due to the unavailability of slots in the mortuary, the particular body was buried after 3 days. When you look at Purusha Pretham, Krishand’s third directorial after Vrithakrithiyilulla Chathuram and Aavasavyuham, you can clearly see this craft aspect as he is more confident in using the visual medium as a tool.

(Sebastien’s ringtone is the theme from Shaji Kailas’ Commissioner.) But here’s the conundrum: he is inside a Krishand movie. It’s hard to get a read on Susanna, and Darshana tunes her demeanour in a way that upholds the mystery of her arc right to the end. The film opens and closes with the same shot: a scene from a television serial featuring a policeman (Zhinz Shan from Aavasavyuham) moonlighting as an actor. Take the situation where a group of cops hope the corpse floated to the other side as the opposite would mean their jurisdiction. Living and the dead have become unpredictable now,” says a character in Purusha Pretham (Male Ghost). There is a whole gag involving the police serving lemonade to guests and each other.

Filmmaker Krishand's Purusha Pretham, starring Darshana Rajendran, is a police procedural drama revolving around an unidentified body.

Susan’s appearance is the catalyst that speeds up the narrative and keeps viewers on the edge. Even while taking on patriarchy, chauvinism, graft and discrimination, Purusha Pretham is a delightful watch on account of its different narrative. The director cleverly connects the early references to their personal lives to the core of the film and the narrative never deviates from the main plot of unearthing the identity of the male corpse. Interspersed with the narrative are paper cuttings of the number of unidentified bodies that surface every year, especially those of migrant labourers. The subplots and parallel threads in the narrative throw light on the multiple personalities of the main characters. Purusha Pretham shows up close the working and living conditions of the rank and file of the police force — their standard of living, the emotional stress they go through and the highhandedness of senior police officers who pull rank at every opportunity.

Although the makers attest that it is a work of fiction, the superb way that director Krishand and editor Suhail Backer spliced in news articles that corroborate the topics the movie covers emphasises how grounded in reality Purusha Pretham is. Purusha Pretham emphasises that “makers create ‘mass’ and not performers,” whilst many people associate the word ‘mass’ with actors, especially men. An absolute dark comedy roller coaster that will have the viewers in stitches, Purusha Pretham examines a wide range of topics and, at certain times, fuses genres, leaving the audiences in amazement. Most of the anecdotes about him are his own (exaggerated) recountings of the actual occurrences, which reminds one of the running jokes on Army men that begin with “When I was in Dehradun…” He is a “ruthless”, “righteous” cop whom the criminals “fear”. Purusha Pretham is a tale that centres on a male corpse, as suggested by the title.

വളരെ കയ്യടക്കത്തോടെയാണ് ആ കഥാപാത്രത്തെ ജഗദീഷ് സമീപിച്ചിരിക്കുന്നത്. വളരെ അനായാസേന തന്നെ ആ കഥാപാത്രത്തെ പ്രശാന്ത് അവതരിപ്പിച്ചിട്ടുണ്ട്. മൃതദേഹം പരിശോധിക്കുന്ന പ്രക്രിയയെ കൊളോണിയലായി പ്രേത പരിശോധന എന്ന പ്രയോഗം കൊണ്ടായിരുന്നു ഒരു കാലത്ത് പൊലീസ് വിശേഷിപ്പിച്ചിരുന്നത്. ഒരു പോയിന്റിൽ വച്ച് സൂസനും പൊലീസും തമ്മിലുള്ള പോരിലേക്ക് കാര്യങ്ങൾ എത്തിയതോടെ ആ അജ്ഞാത മൃതദേഹം സെബാസ്റ്റ്യന്റെയും ദിലീപിന്റെയും തലവേദനയായി മാറുന്നു. പത്രത്തിൽ വാർത്ത കണ്ട് എത്തുന്ന സൂസൻ ആ മൃതദേഹം കാണാതായ തന്റെ ഭർത്താവിന്റേതാവാൻ സാധ്യതയുണ്ടെന്നു സംശയിക്കുന്നു. ലാർസ് കെപ്ലറിന്റെ ആ വാക്കുകളെ തന്നെയാണ് ‘പുരുഷ പ്രേതം’ അതിന്റെ അടരുകളിൽ വഹിക്കുന്നത്.
