Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3: The Spine-chilling Extravaganza with a Twist
A closer look at the recent release of this horror-comedy franchise.
Back to Haunting:
Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 is that film which tries to revive the sorcery of its predecessors with an all-new dimension. Helmed by Anees Bazmee, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 whisks the audience to a kooky haunted mansion ride filled with paranormal activities and plot twists.
A Familiar Setup, A Fresh Mystery
The film introduces into our sight Ruhaan, a slick young conman who poses himself as a renowned exorcist. Hired to investigate a mysterious death in a mansion believed to be haunted, he finds himself caught in an intricate web of lies, dark secrets, and revenge-seeking spirits. The eerie feel of the mansion coupled with the intrigue-laden plot sets the platform for a spine-tingling experience.
Stellar Cast, A Memorable Performance
The cast happens to be ensemble, and all the actors are talented in their own ways. Kartik Aaryan as Ruhaan is charismatic and funny and he walks the tightrope of humour and suspense with élan. As for Vidya Balan in her reprised role of the vengeful spirit Manjulika, there's an overriding presence; just the glimpse sends a chill down one's spine. Madhuri Dixit, too, makes a stunning entry as another mystery element in the story.
Combination of Horror and Comedy: Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, shows a perfect combination of horror and comedy. From really well-timed scares to witty dialogues, this film keeps its audience on the edge with laughter followed by thrills and vice versa. Some, on the other hand, would argue that although humorous, at times it's the overuse of humor which dilutes the scares.
A Worth-the-Wait Twist
Its strongest point is the unexpected plot it offers. The storyline, at various turns, takes completely unexpected twists that would keep one guessing right till the end. Indeed, the revelation of who the vengeful spirit was and what the motive for haunting was lifted it right to the next level.
Sight and Sound
The special effects of the film were impressive and hauntingly atmospheric. Equally impressive is the sound design; eerie sound tracks and spine-chilling background scores elevate the horror experience.
A Few Flaws
Though entertaining undeniably, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 has its share of shortcomings: the pacing is uneven, dragging in bits and rushing through others. Also, the quantum of familiar horror tropes and clichés may disappoint a few viewers.
A Worthy Sequel or a Missed Opportunity?
Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 is the worth of the franchise. The film looks immensely promising and far more entertaining and thrilling. It doesn't cross but manages to be at par with its predecessors. It gives a feel of horror, comedy, and suspense for which viewers had been expecting, though not with the same novelty and insight as its predecessors.
Final Verdict
Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 is an entertainingly engaging movie with great performances, effective scares, and unexpected twists that make the movie entertaining from start to finish. However, it isn't a totally groundbreaking masterpiece; hence, for those who expect something new, innovative, and genre-changing in horror-comedy, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 probably isn't it.
Rating: 3.5/5 stars
