Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 || Kartik Aaryan starrer horror-comedy realse 2024

‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’: movie review: Madhuri Dixit and Vidya Balan are underutilised in this drab horror comedy:2024 realse 

 STORY: Keeping with the theme of the franchise, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 also pits   an unassuming cheeky protagonist against a spooky haveli with a buried past. The   century-old mansion needs to be restored to its former glory and sold, but   Manjulika’s terrorising presence in it forbids the owners from doing so. The royal   family in dire need of resources, seeks Rooh baba’s intervention. The fraudster   takes up the lucrative offer only to find himself tangled in a mess as he discovers   two dark forces who claim to be Manjulika.

Close on the heels of Stree 2: thumping success, comes yet another horror comedy. Anees Bazmee returns to direct BB after his 2022 hit, having taken over from Priyadarshan, who helmed the Akshay Kumar original (2007). Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 is structured more as a comedy with elements of horror. Ensemble comedies have been Bazmee’s forte after all, so the departure from Priyadarshan’s psychologically tense theme is understood. A particular scene revolving around a superstar is the highlight of this film and one of its finest scenes:

BB3 keeps you invested: AND nowhere does it get tiring but it does have its static phase where the comic punches don’t quite land as much as they should. The story takes a considerable amount of time to build up, but the wait feels rewarding, thanks to a thoughtful twist in the climax. You don’t see it coming at all and the makers succeed in giving a sensible and mature spin to a massy entertainer. The art direction deserves a mention too. The production value is a notch above the previous instalments.

Kartik anchors the film as he reprises the role of Ruhaan/Rooh baba. He has the maximum screen presence and owns the role. Though this is a Kartik Aaryan show all the way, the women have been a solid backbone and crowd pullers in this franchise. Be it Tabu in the previous film or Vidya Balan and Madhuri Dixit in this one, the celebrated actresses are absolute scene stealers and stunners:2024

The film marks the return of Vidya Balan in 2007.  Vidya has Madhuri Dixit for company and together, they are like fire and ice. Madhuri with her million-dollar smile, powerful presence and graceful dance moves is a sight to behold. Their iconic dance-off in Ami Je Tomar, where each performs a distinct classical dance form - Madhuri predominantly Kathak, Vidya - blend of Bharatnatyam-Odissi, is worth the hype. It’s tough to match up to Madhuri as far as dance is concerned but Vidya pushes herself skilfully. The song placement feels a bit sudden. However, the visual appeal and riveting performances make up for it. Rajpal Yadav, Sanjay Mishra and Ashwini Kalsekar, are extremely talented and deserved better lines. Triptii Dimri’s character arc could have been fleshed out better.
