The Bhootnii

I watched this movie with my family. Don't trust the positive reviews. This movie is utter garbage. According to me, neither did it deliver on the story nor on the comedy. The story literally feels like a 10 year old kid wrote it. I can't blame the actors though. When you have such a pointless story, it's difficult for the actors to salvage the movie even if they are good. They tried really hard on the comedy front but the comedy just wasn't good. The horror element will scare you in one or two scenes but nothing noteworthy. The effects were decent though in some scenes. Overall it's a pointless movie that should not have seen the light of day in its current state. Ofcourse if you want to throw your money and time at it, go for it.

*The Bhootnii Review: A Messy Horror-Comedy*

I walked into "The Bhootnii" expecting a decent horror-comedy, but what I got was a predictable, clichéd mess. The story revolves around a haunted "Virgin Tree" in a college campus, where a ghost named Mohabbat (Mouni Roy) awakens every Valentine's Day in search of true love. However, the execution falls flat due to poor VFX, lackluster performances, and a convoluted narrative.

*Negative Points:*

• *Subpar Acting*: The cast, including Sunny Singh and Palak Tiwari, fails to impress, with most characters feeling exaggerated and outdated. Sanjay Dutt, as the ghostbuster Baba, is the only one who manages to bring some semblance of humor and charisma to the film.

• *Worst VFX*: The special effects are gimmicky and unimpressive, doing more harm than good to the film's overall impact.

• *Worst Story*: The narrative is riddled with inconsistencies and predictable twists, making it hard to take the film seriously. The story tries to blend horror and comedy but ends up being neither scary nor funny enough.

• *Lack of Originality*: The film's plot is uninspired and borrows heavily from better horror-comedies like "Stree" and "Bhool Bhulaiyaa". Even a Chhota Bheem episode would be more engaging than this.

*Verdict:*

"The Bhootnii" is a disappointing horror-comedy that fails to deliver on its promise. With poor acting, subpar VFX, and a predictable story, it's hard to recommend this film to anyone. Even fans of Sanjay Dutt might find themselves yawning at the lackluster performance. Overall, it's a skippable film that doesn't add much value to the genre ¹ ².

Guys this movie is the worst in the history of Indian cinema. There is nothing to talk about. The whole movie is garbage. Please save yourself and do not fall for the positive reviews. They are obviously paid. Please save your money and your brains. Please please stay away from this garbage. I could not save myself, after watching this movie my brain died. I don't usually review anything, but after seeing 6 point rating I had to write this. This movie deserves zero stars. Bhoothni is neither scary nor funny. It is just pure cringe. It is super cringy, weird and stupid. Whether If you're a baba fan or not you're gonna hate this garbage.

When the movie started, I genuinely thought it might be at least a little horror-based or have some suspense. The buildup made it seem like there was something spooky coming, but after a while, nothing was making sense. Monjolika randomly appears, there are strange fight scenes, and out of nowhere, Sanjay Dutt shows up fighting ghosts with a gun. I mean-really? A gun for ghosts?

The plot was all over the place. There was no proper storyline, no real character development, and the scenes didn't connect well. It felt like the makers just threw in random elements-some horror, some action, some comedy-hoping something would stick. But it didn't.

People in the theatre were either laughing or completely confused. If you're watching just for timepass and don't care about logic or plot, maybe you'll enjoy a few moments. But for someone who expects even basic storytelling, this movie will be a big letdown. Honestly, it felt like a waste of both time and money. Bollywood really needs to focus more on good scripts instead of just star power and effects.

...do I really have to write a review for this? I don't know, and I don't want to write either, but for those who are still thinking about whether they should watch this or not. For those, I'm writing this review. I will tell you why you should watch this film and why you shouldn't.

Pros:

the 1-2 stars I want to give This is only for Sanjay Dutt, Mouni Roy, and Palak Tiwari's acting.

Cons:

Wasted budget Wasted potential All the stories just turned into virgin tree-like ones. Can't you find a better story? Like, why the heck did you add the story for the virgin tree and Valentine's Day? Like, can't writers write serious stories? Everything was great, but the take and names they took and the character they took were like a YouTuber as an actor who was doing like, Bruh, why are you even here?.

The main character, the hero, was so dumb, and, ugh, I don't even want to talk.

Conclusion:

If you want to be part of the few people who know what movies are good or bad and want to be a critic and all, just see this and be up-to-date that this rubbish also exists in cinema; I won't even call it cinema.

Other than that, it's not worth your precious time; just skip this. Even short movies or some fake AI stories are just better than this.
