Prakambanam

3.5 / 5

Horror ComedyCampusSupernaturalRaaga would rewatch: No

Prakambanam takes a familiar Malayalam campus-comedy space and lets a supernatural problem crash straight into it. Three college friends navigating hostel life, pranks and campus politics find their routine disrupted by an unexpected possession. The premise is not trying to disguise its mix: this is a horror-comedy where the everyday mess of student life matters as much as the ghostly disturbance. That directness works in its favour, because the film knows that its best asset is the personality of the group at the centre.
