Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3

Bhool Bhulaiya (2007) was a masterpiece. It was almost perfect in all the film-making departments. Fast forward to 2024, and here, we have an unrelated third installment, Bhool Bhulaiya 3 and sadly, it's way too pathetic.

I'd rate this movie: 5.5/10, very bad to below average.

The cons of the movie that ruined it:

• Story: The most important part of this movie, the story, is so so bad! There was no thrill, no engagement, nothing!! The twist in the ending wasn't that much of a big deal either.

• Acting: The actors had one of the worst performances of their careers. Kartik Aryan tried too hard to be Akshay Kumar but sorry kartik, your acting was equally bad, as bad as Akshay Kumar's recent movie choices. Kartik and Tripti, the two main leads, were average in their performances, or perhaps extremely bad. Surprisingly, Madhuri Dixit and Vidya Balan were horrible! The director of this movie wanted them to be overacting as much as possible throughout the entire movie. All the other decent actors were similarly awful.

• The Humor and The Horror: It was supposed to be a Horror Comedy, but I didn't laugh at a single joke, nor was I scared even for a millisecond. The jokes were terrible and it was too much of a forced comedy.

• The Bengali Accent: My god! The Bengali accent was sooo bad! You could have just casted real Bengali actors, why did you have to cringe the audience with those pathetic accents?

• The Songs: The songs were terrible. Not a single song makes you wanna hear it twice, or even once. I thought the "Hare Ram Krishna" song would be good and catchy, but man! They ruined that too! Btw, bgm was pretty decent.

• The Love Story: What was that? They haven't moved on from those 90s cliches yet? I've emptied my stock of words, I don't know how else to vent the frustration.

The tagline of this movie: "Am I supposed to laugh?"

The only good thing about the movie is I laughed at the scary scenes that were supposed to be taken seriously (I guess)

The main motive of the makers was to find a way to ruin Bhool Bhulaiya and get decent actors to do overacting as much as possible!

If this movie succeeds, I don't know what more to expect from Indian audience and bollywood.
