Aju varghese and Sharafudden deliver decent comic relief without trying much. Jayasurya has done a good job as usual and his new look perfectly suits the mysterious character of a Psychic. But pretham is about exactly as the title suggests it.The first half has some spooky thrilling sequences and lots of laughs.There are many subtle comic references to Manichitrathazh which is nicely done. Adi kapyare was mostly a comedy movie with a hint of supernatural towards the end. The last comic horror movie that comes to my mind is In ghost house Inn which was simply painful to watch. Similar tried and tested formula is used in Pretham also but is handled in a very different and in the so called New gen way. The ghost story has evolved over the ages in Malayalam cinema but most of them somehow end up still with many clichés.
