Orr Eravuu (Tamil: ஓர் இரவு; English: One night) is a 2010 Tamil independent horror film directed by 3 debutants, Hari Shankar, Hareesh Narayan and Krishna Sekhar. The film talks seemingly outside normal sensory channels, termed as Paranormal - something believed to have no accordance with scientific laws. Spirits and Ghosts are believed to have a close kinship with Night. Based on this concept Orr Eravuu was made. The entire film was shot from the protagonist's viewpoint, using shaky camerawork, reportedly the first Indian viewpoint film.
Nakulan Ponnusamy, a paranormal investigator and proprietor of Silver Chord Services, travels from Chennai to Munnar where he goes to solve a case of a house believed to be haunted, belonging to a businessman Anand Chandrasekar. Nakul spends one full night in the haunted house and conducts his sophisticated paranormal investigation. Meanwhile, Nakul finds that three other investigators belonging to Seventh Sense Para-psychology team also had come to the house for investigation. After some horrible sequences and mysterious circumstances, Nakul is found dead in the house. Daisy, a reporter in a Television Program Metro Crimes analyzes Nakul's death.
Orr Eravuu was produced by one of the directors Hari Shankar under the banner Shankar Bros; it was the studio's first film project. The film was initially titled as Eraaa, before it was renamed.
The crew had been involved in the study of paranormal procedures, been working on field with Ouija board (wee-gee board), electronic voice phenomenon, EMF meters, micro cassette recorder and much more scientific instruments. Also they involved at night shoots in the locations which were broadly believed to be haunted. Notably, all technicians who worked in this venture were newcomers.
Sathish. G played the lead role and handled the cinematography as well, shooting in Point-of-View and using shaky camerawork. Sathish. G had designed his own rig to fix the camera at the level of human's eye and shot the whole film, assembling the rig on his head with the Sony HD Camera. With this camera setup, he walks, drives, climbs, runs, performs all the paranormal tests and takes the audience into the scene. Since the film was made in digital, Hari Shankar decided to have a sophisticated Edit Setup and preferred to use the Apple Systems. The entire film was edited in Apple Final Cut Pro with the true HD resolution 1080p. The sound was recorded live to make the audience feel the real ambience of the scene. The DTS sound was mixed in the A. M. Studios by Shiva Kumar and Kannan.
