PEE NAK COMES BACK WITH ANOTHER CURSE N ANOTHER ROUND OF HILARIOUS RIDE !! :)
Like PN 1, this too, is Not Scary.
And is MORE HILARIOUS n CHAOTIC than PN 1 😂
As said in my PN 1 Review:
Thai Comedies (Horror or Rom-Com), as usual, are always CHAOTIC !
(If U are aware of Thai comedies, only then, U can enjoy this.
Bcz Every Country has its OWN TONE OF COMEDY, especially Japan or Thai comedies are not for everyone 🤷🏻♀️)
***
A Good Mix of Horror + Comedy + serious stories of the ghost's past and the main story.
Here, the TWISTS in the Main Story are Interesting to watch.
Apart from the Ghost's past n the main story, here a New Story of Rebirth / Past lives of some of the characters Aod, Noht, First, Balloon n the ghost, is beautifully blended into the main story.
This "Past lives" story is Interesting n Well Written 👌🏻
***
Like in PN 1,
Even here, The ghost story n the main story depict religious process n rituals like "Ordaining to be a Monk", "Disrobing" etc in Buddhism and are Very Interesting to watch.
The Stories of Naga, boon of the Naga - "Nak" in the ordain process etc n the ghost's past life (how and why it has become a Vengeful Ghost), n how they are related to current main story, are Well Written.
The haunting scenes are funny n chaotic 😂
Even the scenes of the team trying to find solutions to the curses, the Buddhist Monks helping the team to ward off the ghost n to revoke the curses, are funny😂
***
Director Mike is known for Comedy genre! 👌🏻
Production, Screenplay are good enough.
Locations are cool.
***
Initially, there is a confusion whether there are 1 or 2 Curses, not only to the viewers but also to the characters too🤭
First Curse is the same as PN 1:
Whoever gets ordained at a particular Buddhist temple, dies.
Second Curse:
Whoever ordained in that particular temple, can't Disrobe (leave monkhood), else they die.
So the ghost keeps haunting, disturbing the process n not allowing anyone to be ordained /disrobed there.
Later, it is clear that the 2nd curse is the only curse in this movie n the adventure to find a solution to that curse, continues.
The confusion of the first curse is created bcz of Mean's character, who is trying to be ordained in that temple.
While the Disrobing curse n the related chaos is bcz of characters First and Balloon who are trying to leave monkhood, after getting ordained in PN 1.
The way how PN 1 n PN 2 are related with recurring characters, is well written.
The Naga hooded Buddha Amulet is just referred in PN 1, while it is the main story here.
***
Every Actor performed well.
Every Character is lovable.
The recurring characters n the cast, August, Aim, James, Pond n Tar are cool.
Aim n James as queer characters are hilarious n chaotic, as usual 😂
New cast n characters introduced here, are funny.
There are so many young Novice monks here, the boys look silly n funny.
First, Balloon, Noht n Aod with these young Novices are more chaotic😂
Mean is cool n plays a K-pop idol character.
Mean looks like KDrama actor Park Seo Joon🤭
Placement of that Insurance advertisement as a part of the story is funny.
***
In the end, the curse is revoked, the ghost is relieved / warded off peacefully and the ordain process of Mean's character n Disrobing of First, Balloon happens as planned n peacefully👌🏻
The movie ending gives a hint to next part /Sequel.
***
My RATING is 8.5 / 10
*** COMPARISON OF THE MOVIES IN THIS FRANCHISE:
Can't really Rank any movie as the most or the least favourite, in this franchise.
My Rating for all 4 is the same n liked all 4 equally bcz one with more comedy, another with subtle comedy but all have serious stories.
And so ALL 4 MOVIES ARE ENTERTAINING n FUN TO WATCH!
In terms of Comedy,
PN 4 < PN 1 < PN 2 < PN 3
In terms of Story,
All have Serious Interesting Stories.
Story of PN 1 is a simple one while the other three have twists n little complicated stories.
Also, Watched this franchise long ago n remembered these as STANDALONE n UNRELATED MOVIES n need to watch all, just to know the background and the relations of the Recurring Characters.
But now when I re-watched all 4, realised that all 4 movies are RELATED, may not be a Proper n Direct SEQUEL to each other.
But One movie's storyline is taken from a scene or concept from the previous movie. That's how they are related.
For eg;
1) PN 2's main storyline "One old Monk n Buddha with Naga hood Amulet" is discussed in 1-2 scenes in PN 1 n are elaborated in PN 2 as the main story.
2) PN 3's "Past lives, stealing Golden Anklets etc" is depicted in PN 2 n are elaborated in PN 3 as the main story.
3) PN 4's Naga n Plan's character is shown in two scenes in PN 3 n are elaborated in PN 4 as the main story.
And so Need to watch all 4 movies in the same order to understand n enjoy the franchise.
Also, it's fun to watch the recurring cast n characters in the franchise😀
Actor Tar, literally grew up along with this franchise, haha 😂
