It is at this juncture that the terrified threesome encounter a mentalist named John Don Bosco played to the hilt by Jayasurya. All is well until they notice some paranormal activities which stand to jeopardize their dreams of making it big. They put in their whole, to own a seaside resort. The story is all about three friends Denny, Shibin and Priyan played by Sharafudin, Aju Vraghese and Govind Padmasurya. The characters themselves allude to this. Though the idea of the term mentalist might be new foe viewers it is soon apparent that there are clear throwbacks to the iconic Sunny of ‘Manichitrathazhu’.
The horror element of ‘Pretham’ is also interesting, though mild, catering to the taste of the family audiences. It is after the much appreciated ‘Punyalan Agarbathis’ that Ranjith has created another thoughtful comic movie. What is interesting is that Ranjith Shakar has been able to maintain the momentum throughout with the situational comedies and a unique story line. ‘Pretham’ sure is a laugh riot which is a highly enjoyable ride. And lo! The movie is a fun ride with humour from the beginning till the end.
The promos and trailers later on did underscore that fact. Director Ranjith Shankar and all in the crew of ‘Pretham’ have been careful in projecting that the movie will fall in the comic horror genre and will not cater to the typical horror genre. This is a time when hardcore horror movies (English) are being brandished about and interest in them at a high.
