Pretham 2 is a 2018 Indian Malayalam-language horror-comedy film directed by Ranjith Sankar. The film revolves around a group of five strangers who meet online through a discussion forum and decide to shoot a short film in an old mansion located in a remote area. As they begin shooting, strange and inexplicable things start happening in the mansion, leading the group to believe that it is haunted.
The group consists of a director named Shafique (Jayasurya), a scriptwriter named Ramanathan (Saniya Iyappan), a cinematographer named Benny (Durga Krishna), an actress named Costa (Aju Varghese), and a sound designer named Roby (Amith Chakkalakal). As they start their shooting, they find it difficult to get their equipment to work, and strange noises can be heard in the mansion.
Soon, they start experiencing paranormal activity, and their belief that the mansion is haunted is confirmed when they discover old photos of the mansion's previous owners, who died under mysterious circumstances. As they try to unravel the truth behind the haunting, they encounter more terrifying and disturbing incidents.
The film is filled with comedic elements, such as the bickering and bantering between the members of the group, and the contrast between the characters' fear and their slapstick reactions to supernatural phenomenon. But as the horror intensifies, the group begins to take the situation more seriously and work together to find a solution.
Pretham 2 is a thrilling and entertaining horror-comedy that offers a unique blend of both genres. It features compelling performances from its lead cast, breathtaking visuals, and a gripping narrative that will keep the audience on the edge of their seats.
