    Less Fun, Less Fear

    Ranjith Shankar's 'Pretham 2', on being looked at from a structural point of view, is not very different from 'Pretham' (2016). That is to say, the sequel follows a narrative pattern similar to what we saw in John Don Bosco's uncanny adventures with Denny, Shibu and Priyalal in 'Pretham' (2016). We see in 'Pretham 2', a group of young people who are witty, and jealous of Mentalist Bosco's ability to do what he does. We also see the recurring tale of a troubled soul who fell prey to cyber violence, its thirst for answers and vengeance, etcetera. The elaborate final showdown of the two movies are identical, yet contextually different.

    'Pretham 2' isn't as cliched as its trailer. It is not at all the typical ghost story which unfolds in the old 'mana'. In fact, it cannot be called as a horror flick since it doesn't make the average viewer horrified, although the tagline says "double the fun, double the fear". Talking about the 'fun' aspect, there isn't much, that is, if you are not into jokes made through movie references. Mangalassery Neelakantan seems okay at the beginning, but becomes more or less out of place as the plot thickens. The other characters seem alright, although they were just placed to magnify the glory of the Mentalist. Jayasurya, as always, did justice to his character, and Sarita Jayasurya's costumes have given him more of a carnivalesque bliss.

    In comparison to the sequel, 'Pretham' (2016) had a more believable plot. But the technical aspects seem better in 'Pretham 2' especially the shots and certain (nearly) Dutch angles which were too good. The background tracks were of some class, but seem misplaced on many occasions.

    Overall, the sequel is a one time watch even for a conventional family audience, since there is very less 'adult comedy' when compared to 'Pretham' (2016). The bottom line is, 'Pretham 2' is a decent film which has equal parts of awesomeness and mediocrities.

    Just another copy movie

    There is nothing original in this movie unlike the first Pretham movie. The movie felt more like a cbi sethuramayyar movie. The writer could have researched a bit more on mentalism and how to use it in a movie.

    OK IF NOT COMPARED WITH FIRST

    The movie is watchable but still it's not so interesting.The comedy is not working out and acting is terrible.Just an agenda for the makers to talk against piracy.Nothing more.Lazy script.Anyway it's just ok to watch due to good direction.

    Nowhere near Pretham1

    This is focussed more on trying to scare you rather than the fun-filled and natural flow of the first Pretham. Plot is not bad. But spoiled it by the attempts to make you scare

    Worse Than Pretham.

    Pretham 2 being the sequel of Pretham 2016 revolves around the title character Don John Bosco. The story is about the gathering of social media friends for filming a movie and the troubles they get into. Mentalism is the key factor in the movie but failed to explore its wideness. Alike Pretham the first half of the movie is full of creepy dialogs and situations. The film lacked a strong script and the characterization of the characters apart from John was a misfit. The storyline was full of logical loopholes which couldn't be covered by the narration and making. Having the shades of a horror movie, Pretham2 lacked strong technical support.

    Negatives: * Apart from the Title character the rest was horrible. * Cliche and poor writing. * Cinematography and background score failed to bring the needed thrill and mood to the story.

    Positives: * Execution of mentalism and deception was better when compared to the whole movie.
