Pisaasu - A slightly different take on ghosts, boldly made

Pisaasu is definitely fictional and one leaving the theatre satisfied with the story will depend on how he or she has conceptualized ghosts and to what an extent they are willing to be flexible with what they have conceived in their minds about the supernaturals(more)

Mysskin�s love for human emotions and to portray the dark and moody side of it has always been a mystery to tell.
