Purusha Pretham (The Male Ghost), directed by Krishand, is a subversive neo-noir procedural that defies the conventional rhythms of Indian police dramas. Released in 2023, the film utilizes a gritty, satirical lens to examine the intersection of institutional apathy, personal ego, and the bureaucratic nightmare of handling unidentified corpses. By blending dark comedy with a cold, investigative aesthetic, Krishand creates a narrative that is as much about the "ghosts" created by a failing system as it is about a missing body.

The story revolves around a group of friends who, driven by curiosity and a thirst for adventure, decide to explore the abandoned parts of Purusha. Their expedition leads to the unearthing of an ancient entity known as "Pretham," believed to be a spirit trapped between worlds. The entity, once a revered religious leader in its past life, was wronged and murdered, leaving behind a soul seeking justice and peace.
