Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3

I went in with a lot of expectations after watching the trailer of this movie. I was happy to see some old characters back. But this movie's plot was totally different. Not linked with the first movie at all. Scenes kept on changing and there was no continuity in this film. Poor dialogues and over acting with annoying background music was too much to digest. The first half of the movie is a disaster and I felt like leaving the theater. The only relief was the little bit comedy in the script. In short please don't go and waste your money on watching this poorly written film. Bhool bhulaiya 1 had a great story with great acting and the horror part was really on point. But this 3rd installment is not at all a horror genre.

The only thing that carried the entire film were some good jokes, other than good jokes there was no actual creativity in writing like the first part the story kept changing and there were way too many plots to be put in a single film which makes it confusing yet non flowable for viewers, this movie was good for entertainment but there was no actual thrill or anything memorable that a movie should have to be remembered, cinematics were also too over exaggerated, too many scenes were made out of the blue and had no context what so ever, even the acting of a few actors was unwanted and overreacting at some point. I'd recommend this movie to watch only with the purpose of entertainment not a movie sense.

Using the same dialogues and unnecessary drama which do not make you laugh at all. Only a few jokes are actually good. The story is good but the writers have dragged the screen time with unnecessary scenes. I wasn't actually expecting the plot twist at the end. Describing it as a horror comedy is something that will confuse the audience as there is no horror but horrible comedy. Could be a good example of nice story but terrible execution. I hate spoiling stories so there will be no spoilers but I'd say that if you get too scared to watch a horror movie then you can easily watch this as this is not even scary as the original bhool bhulaiya. Madhuri and Vidya Balan are as always Fabulous with their scripts but Kartik Aaryan seems too forced doing comedy.

Bhool Bhulaiya (2007) was a masterpiece. It was almost perfect in all the film-making departments. Fast forward to 2024, and here, we have an unrelated third installment, Bhool Bhulaiya 3 and sadly, it's way too pathetic.

I'd rate this movie: 3.5/10, very bad to below average.

The cons of the movie that ruined it:

• Story: The most important part of this movie, the story, is so so bad! There was no thrill, no engagement, nothing!! The twist in the ending wasn't that much of a big deal either.

• Acting: The actors had one of the worst performances of their careers. Kartik Aryan tried too hard to be Akshay Kumar but sorry kartik, your acting was equally bad, as bad as Akshay Kumar's recent movie choices. Kartik and Tripti, the two main leads, were average in their performances, or perhaps extremely bad. Surprisingly, Madhuri Dixit and Vidya Balan were horrible! The director of this movie wanted them to be overacting as much as possible throughout the entire movie. All the other decent actors were similarly awful.

• The Humor and The Horror: It was supposed to be a Horror Comedy, but I didn't laugh at a single joke, nor was I scared even for a millisecond. The jokes were terrible and it was too much of a forced comedy.

• The Bengali Accent: My god! The Bengali accent was sooo bad! You could have just casted real Bengali actors, why did you have to cringe the audience with those pathetic accents?

• The Songs: The songs were terrible. Not a single song makes you wanna hear it twice, or even once. I thought the "Hare Ram Krishna" song would be good and catchy, but man! They ruined that too! Btw, bgm was pretty decent.

• The Love Story: What was that? They haven't moved on from those 90s cliches yet? I've emptied my stock of words, I don't know how else to vent the frustration.

The tagline of this movie: "Am I supposed to laugh?"

The only good thing about the movie is I laughed at the scary scenes that were supposed to be taken seriously (I guess)

The main motive of the makers was to find a way to ruin Bhool Bhulaiya and get decent actors to do overacting as much as possible!

If this movie succeeds, I don't know what more to expect from Indian audience and bollywood.

Why would you want to just make same things again in which hero is just playing around and we hear same old song repeatedly. Jokes are mostly not fun. You will find tough to recollect any scene in which you really laughed or got scared.

Clearly this is the result of what happens when you have nothing new to add but want to keep minting money from audience. The second half was also not anything good as I was expecting. The ending was not enough to save this movie by any means and looked like a fatal attempt to do something which could not be stitched properly seamlessly with the story.

Overall please save yourself and rather donate or watch some Netflix rather than this. And we don't need any more sequels of this.
