Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 Review: Kartik Aaryan Shines in the Horror Comedy, While Vidya Balan and Madhuri Dixit Deserve a Script Overhaul

Hello, Bollywood buffs! Sit back, relax, and get ready to dive into the quirky world of ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’—a film that promises a rollercoaster of giggles but leaves you wondering if you accidentally boarded the wrong ride. Yes, it’s your dost, Khabree Kiran, here to spill the chai on the latest from the tinsel town!

A Haunted Tale That’s Déjà Vu All Over Again

Picture this: Ruhaan, or as his friends (and ghosts) call him, Rooh Baba, makes his way to the eerie Rakhtghat in Bengal. And why? Well, some folks believe he’s the modern-day avatar of a long-lost prince named Dibendranath. But wait, there’s a catch! The place is haunted by Manjulika, a ghost who’s got a serious vendetta. Throw in a thanda crore for opening her room, and you’ve got yourself a plot. Sounds familiar? That’s because it is! Just like its predecessor, ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2’. Anees Bazmee strikes again with his Bollywood recipe: Rooh Baba + scary Manjulika + a pretty heroine + the iconic ‘Ami Je Tomar’. Same old, same old, folks! 😏

Laughter in Low Supply

Kartik Aaryan kicks off the movie with his signature charm, channeling his inner Akshay Kumar. But even our beloved Kartik can only do so much with the script that’s more pheeka than a stale pani puri. Vidya Balan and Madhuri Dixit, the power-packed duo, are here too, but their roles are more of a cameo than a main event. Their jugalbandi as sisters Manjulika and Anjulika is less fireworks, more damp squib. And don’t even get me started on the comedy—it’s as if they ran out of jokes and decided to name a pair of bulls ‘Rolls’ and ‘Royce’. 🙄

An Ending with a Twist

The climax does offer a twist, and Kartik deserves a salute for pulling it off with panache. But when it comes to Vidya and Madhuri, I have to admit, dil tota. Their talent is wasted on roles that demand over-the-top theatrics, leaving the audience yearning for more substance. Meanwhile, Triptii Dimri is decent, but her talent is underutilized in a role that doesn’t do justice to her mysterious aura.

The Final Verdict

In the grand scheme of Bollywood masala, ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’ leaves much to be desired. Sure, it’s a treat to see our favorite stars share the screen, but the film is a khichdi that could have used a little more spice. The music? Well, let’s just say the nostalgia of ‘Ami Je Tomar’ is its only saving grace.

Kiran’s Gyan: In Bollywood, sequels are like samosas at a wedding—everyone serves them, but not everyone gets the filling right. Sometimes, it’s better to create something fresh rather than reheating yesterday’s curry!

Stay tuned for more tales from the land of dreams and drama. Until next time, yaar, keep it filmi and fabulous!
