Pakalpooram

About This Movie

Pakalpooram is an interesting blend of comedy and horror that really leans into its quirky setting in Sooryamagalam. The story of Brahmadattan Namboothiri and the evil spirit adds a layer of folklore that feels rooted yet whimsical. The pacing has this odd ebb and flow, almost like it’s toying with the audience. The practical effects, while not top-tier, have a certain charm that enhances the film's quirky tone. Mukesh's performance as Gauridasan brings a comedic touch to the mix, contrasting with the darker themes of vengeance and family legacy. It’s a film that seems to revel in its own oddity, making it quite distinctive in the realm of early 2000s Malayalam cinema.
