바카라˜Pret Boys바카라™: Story

Prem, Tatsat, and Rajat (Ritik Ghanshani, , Ahan Nirban) launch a unique start-up focused on smashing ghosts. They get another ghost lover like them when they encounter Eisha (). As the crew battles various ghosts, they find themselves on a collision course with the dark world. Will their start-up of catching ghosts ever get funding? Will they ever be able to become a successful ghost-catching company? Will they be able to save their clients from ghosts? Or will they fail miserably? Well, for all that, you바카라™ll have to watch 바카라˜Pret Boys바카라™.

바카라˜Pret Boys바카라™: Performances

Shardul Pandit was spot on. He was the right amount of funny for a slapstick and his physical comedy and sense of space and timing were absolutely brilliant. It바카라™s a shame that we have seen Shardul Pandit in pretty much serious roles before. This is quite a revelation to see him in an absolutely different space, and he did showcase his prowess in comedy with 바카라˜Pret Boys바카라™. How ever the show fares, Shardul Pandit should be getting a lot more bigger roles, especially in the space of physical comedy. His antics and voice modulations are kickass. He draws all the attention towards himself, and whenever he is missing from the screens, you바카라™re actually missing seeing him and just waiting for him to be back.

None of the other three 바카라“ Aanchal Munjal, Ritik Ghanshani, Ahan Nirban 바카라“ were able to create an impact that you바카라™ll want to remember. Aanchal, in her 바카라˜I see dead people바카라™ character made the role too intense. She should have made the character more fun with either some more comic punches or her antics or her body language. Sadly, that was missing completely. Nothing too special from either Ritik Ghanshani or Ahan Nirban to even warrant a mention.

바카라˜Pret Boys바카라™: Script, Direction & Technical Aspects

Shivam Sharma바카라™s writing has nothing to offer. He tries to bring back the kind of horror films which were prevalent in B-movies in the 1970s-1990s. Sadly, he fails miserably. Also, he tries to reinvigorate the slapstick comedy genre of the mid-2000s. Sadly, he fails miserably even in this. The story is old and dilapidated and probably 2 or 3 years olds might get scared on those possible jump scares. Others can see them coming from a mile away. To add to that, the backstories (or whatever little of them is shown) are pathetic. Which HR manager hires his own girlfriend to the office, and fires her a few days later saying 바카라˜You are weird바카라™?

Nisheeth N Neelkanth바카라™s direction is amateurish, to say the least. There is no novelty in the way the entire story has been narrated onscreen. It could have been a decent enough horror comedy, but it became a slapstick comedy out of nowhere. The horror elements were so less and insignificant that it felt like a bag of jump scares put together. Probably it would have made audiences in the 1990s feel scared, but for now, it ended up being a massive pile of garbage. Look at the dolls used in the 바카라˜Anabelle바카라™ series and compare them to the doll used in 바카라˜Pret Boys바카라™ and you바카라™ll end up laughing.

Kashan Shahid바카라™s cinematography is just too horrid to even worth a mention. The camerawork seems so low-budget that it doesn바카라™t even get a single scare out of the audience. As the entirety of the show lies in night sequences, it would have been better to light up the screens with things other than big flashy halogen lights. With so much light all over, even ghosts would feel afraid to come out. After all, they바카라™re the beings of the dark.

Vinay Malu and Nitesh Tank바카라™s editing couldn바카라™t do much. Rather than dragging on the pain for 10 episodes of varying time limits, they could have chopped a few episodes and wrapped it up in 6 episodes and made the lengths a bit more of the individual episodes. Also, there are quite a few scenes where you바카라™re waiting for a jump scare, and you바카라™re waiting for so long that you actually end up missing that fear in your heart.

Sunny Subramanian바카라™s music is the only decent thing about 바카라˜Pret Boys바카라™ after Shardul Pandit. The background score does manage to give you a bit of the chill. But had the story and direction been more supportive, then the thrills would have been felt much better.

바카라˜Pret Boys바카라™: Can Kids Watch It?

Yes

Outlook바카라™s Verdict

바카라˜Pret Boys바카라™ is juvenile and childish, to say the least. More than being a horror comedy it veers towards being a 바카라˜Housefull바카라™ sort of slapstick comedy. It leaves you a rather unpleasant aftertaste. If you바카라™re looking for a horror comedy, Avoid this. I am going with 1 star.
