My mindset before watching I had feel that watching Malaysian Movie. But within 10 minutes I felt that it’s not only for particular country it’s absolutely Indian Movie too. Little did I know that I was in for a ride of thrill! As a fan of horror and thriller flicks, I must say Poochandi Varan was a solid, perfectly made film! First of all, I would like to congratulate the entire cast and crew of this film. From story, screenplay, cinematography, lighting and BGMs everything was top notch! I’m not even kidding right now.
The movie was supposed to release way earlier in 2020 but due to the lockdown situations in Malaysia it got pushed several times and just released on 27th January. But I guess this movie was worth the wait! You will get a really good satisfaction feel after watching this film.
Of course I am not going to spill the beans or even drop the entire story or even the flow of it. Good movies are so rare to come by and Poo C Varan is that one of a kind film that I highly suggest you to watch.
This spirit game is often associated with the OUIJA Board. In this film, it is vereh level! Trust me when I say the director has explored a whole new experience for a Tamil horror film/ The usage of Religious & Hinduism, history of it and also the rich culture of the Tamil language is also diversified in this movie. A movie should make us believe. We should feel connected instantly to the film and thus start engaging with it. That is exactly what I felt!
Poochandi Varan is a compelling and enticing narrative about the dread of the unknown and Hinduism’s rich heritage. Supernatural tales and myths about other interesting beings that have existed since ancient times. It may appear anywhere and take on the appearance of anybody, and it will not leave its victims alone until they are dead or choose to pass the curse on to someone else.
Kadaram, today known as Kedah is vasely explored and thoroughly researched by the team. They have done extensive searches to ensure the movie does not lack any logic or facts which are real. Ancient Kadaram was also said to have been conquered by Raja Raja Chozhan too. Watch out for all these amazing facts and references in the film.
Congratulations to the cast! Without them the execution of the film would have been impossible. Every single one of them acted really well. They stir curiosity, make you angry, make you laugh, make you get in fear and tons more. The emotions and chills sent down your spine is really different guys.
Apart from the amazing cast, I would like to mention the Ravi Shankar Sir, the Founder of Astana Arts, who delivered an extraordinary and flawless performance as the main character Poochandi. Every stride he took in each of his scenes give us extremely feel,
Mirchi RJ Ramana, Dinesh Sarathi Krishnan, Logan Nathan, Ganesan Manoharan, and Hamsni Perumal are a huge backbone to the film. In addition to being aesthetically appealing, the film’s casts were carefully picked by the production to provide the best performance and do honour to the characters.
Poochandi Varan is a really visual treat. The cinematography was top notch. There was not a moment where you could take your eyes off the screen!
Unlike other ghost or paranormal films, Poochandi Varan manages to keep viewers glued to the screen. A fascinating story, given by both new and veteran performers, is best portrayed throughout the film. Wickneswaren Kaliaperumal appears to be a filmmaker full of intriguing stories, which is what I got from watching this film.
