Bhool Bhulaiyaa Movie Review

Priyadarshan slithers out of his usual style and comes up with an interesting but exhausting movie. ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa’ is not a typical Priyan comedy. It is a suspense thriller with doses of a horror film. The humour is understated, but sufficient enough to tickle the spine already chilled by spooky turns.

The story of the movie: US based Siddharth (Shiney Ahuja) and his wife Avni (Vidya Balan) comes to India and decide to go to Siddharth’s native place. There, his family welcomes him with open arms. Siddharth, whose ancestors were the rulers of that place once, demand that he would like to stay in his ancestral mansion with Avni.

However his uncle (Manoj Joshi) gets displeased hearing this as everyone believed that the mansion is haunted. But Siddharth and Avni, who didn’t believed in ghosts, started living there. And then….strange and mysterious things started happening in the mansion. Siddharth gets confused and calls his doctor friend Aditya (Akshay Kumar) to help him. Will Aditya be able to help? And is the mansion really haunted?

The movie instantly catches your attention from the first frame and lets it go only when the film is over. Though the film gets little slow and drags in the second half, it is completely likeable.

There are lots of memorable scenes in the flick. The opening scene is great; also the scenes involving Paresh Rawal and Asrani were funny. But the real ‘mazaa’ starts from the scene in which Vidya Balan enters the haunted floor of the mansion. From there right till the end, the film is completely captivating and doesn’t bore even for a fraction of a second. In short, it’s the best Hindi film of Priyadarshan till date.

The movie’s music is catchy and ear pleasing. The cinematography is fine.

All in all, ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa’ is an interesting maze with unexpected bends. The unraveling of the movie’s suspense is its high point.
