Bhoothnath Returns

Bhoothnath Returns

  • Unexpectedly smart, funny, sweet, and politically relevant

    I was surprised to see that the sequel to the original 'Bhoothnath' was such a powerhouse of great writing, social conscience, great acting by the kid actor (as well as Boman Irani and Amitabh), and an interesting plot and pacing. As with typical Bollywood films, a suspension of disbelief is required, but this film actually requires less of that than some of the typical romance films where the characters do illogical things at unreasonable times. Each character in this film reacts reasonably to their own situations for once in a Bollywood film. Even the songs were good and reminded me a lot of the original "Annie". This movie has a lot of heart, but doesn't go overboard with the schmaltz. It's about social ills such as corruption and lack of community participation in trying to fix it, but not at all depressing. Feel free to skip the first fluffy film since the back story isn't relevant to the enjoyment of this infinitely better movie.

  • Not your typical 70's Bollwyood film

    Manzil starts out with one of my favorite songs to come out of Hindi cinema; the catchy, "Rhim Ghim Giri Sawan" by RD Burman (sung by Kishore Kumar). From there, the movie takes a decidedly subtle journey thru the relationship between Amitabh and the lead actress. Their chemistry really comes thru the screen. The movie is gorgeous, intelligently written, very watchable, believable, and most shockingly of all: the characters all act reasonably. Even the 'villain' has very good reasons for his actions. The story also deals with class, wealth, ambition, and the blind optimism of people just starting out. It's one of the most underrated films in Old Bollywood and it definitely deserves more attention, especially if a person is a fan of Amitabh, but tired of seeing the same old "angry young man" films he was so famous for.
