Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 released on 2nd of November is a of the franchise genre started with Akshay Kumar with one ghost then in the second movie with Kartik Aryan taking over the reins we where presented with possibility of a dual ghost scenario and now in the third one we have to juggle with a triple ghost scenario, my God! What a waste of ghosts or is it only one ghost and we see three.
The movie is supposed to be a ghost comedy which we are supposed to enjoy but it appears the comedy is on us. The three cartoon characters from previous movie the chota pandit, the bada pandit and the lady pandit are repeated for no reason at all. The first film with Akshay Kumar was an intellectual cult film directed by Priyadarshan.
The team of the second and third franchise have hit the bedrock. Kartik Aryan has been acting in films which have no meaning at all, very.. very disappointing. How come Vidya and Madhuri ended up in this film.
Tripty Dimri remains a show piece like in all her movies, till date the lass has yet to learn the art of carrying herself with grace. Seeing the movie and Kartik I remembered that Manoj Kumar sad song from Roti Kapda aur Madkaan “Aur nahi bas aur nahi gam ke pyale bas aur nahi”.
It literally seemed like a persecution to sit through this hell. Vijay Raaz too seems to be going for roles which give him the bread and butter and not the ones that satisfy his creative instincts.
The other day I was watching a business channel and there was big hype about these big movies being released over the weekend, in such cases the PVR share price rally’s, however it was down 4% on Monday because of these duds released over the weekend.
The only continuation seems to be in the theme song. Rest is all boorish and bunkum all through its running time of 158 minutes. There should be a restraining law for such movies.
