Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3

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.

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.

I went into Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 with cautious hopes, especially after the trailer didn't give much to be excited about. But wow, even those low expectations couldn't save me from the disappointment this movie turned out to be.

Story & Direction: Lacking the Charm

Remember the spooky charm and clever storytelling that made Bhool Bhulaiyaa 1 so memorable? Well, that's nowhere to be found here. The plot feels lazy and predictable, with a twist that's so forced it actually made me laugh. It's like the filmmakers just threw in a twist for the sake of it, hoping to cash in on nostalgia without putting in any effort to create something engaging. This is the kind of movie that reminds you how much Bollywood can fall short when it gets too comfortable relying on past successes.

Visuals & VFX: Subpar at Best

Visually, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 is a letdown. At times, it genuinely looked like half the film was AI-generated, with backgrounds that felt more like placeholders than actual settings. The VFX is not only underwhelming but oddly cheap for a franchise film. It's almost as if they cut corners at every possible turn, leaving us with something that doesn't even look convincing.

Performances: Just Going Through the Motions

Even the cast seems half-hearted. No standout performances, no real depth-just actors running through their lines without much conviction. It's surprising (and disappointing) to see such a talented cast fall flat, and it's clear that the lack of a solid script didn't help them either.

Music: A Little Saving Grace

If there's one decent moment, it's probably the Ami Je Tomar reprise. I won't say it lives up to the original, but it's one of the rare moments in the film that doesn't feel entirely phoned in. Let's just say it recovers about 6% of my ticket price-a small but needed mercy in a film that otherwise misses the mark completely.

The Final Word

In the end, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 is a disappointing attempt to cash in on a beloved franchise without bringing anything new, creative, or even mildly satisfying. It's a shame to see a series that started off so strong get diluted down to this level. Bollywood's overreliance on sequels and spin-offs is really starting to show, and this movie is a prime example of how that approach can backfire.

If you're a fan of the original Bhool Bhulaiyaa, prepare to be let down. It's the kind of movie that makes you wish they had left the franchise alone instead of stretching it beyond its limit.

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.

Just very bad script. Am writing this while watching the movie. 3/4 is over and still except for maybe 2-3 scenes of Manjulika, the movie is just lame. And who puts songs at every turn these days? Just getting irritated with all the song and dance numbers breaking out, spoiling the already bad momentum even more.

Tripti Dimri is just a waste here. The comedians havent been given any good script. Filmmakers in Bollywood these days should really take some inspiration from Malayalam movie. Just wasting people's time.

I hope Madhuri and Vidya Balan can do some justice to this movie. Really disappointed with the movie.
