Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2

I don't understand how people are rating this high. Feels like expectations from Bollywood has gone down a lot. Some scenes and dialogues of this movie are good and that's it. Beyond that movie lacks everything else. It's highly inconsistent, the main character lacks depth, Kiara is not needed in the movie (doesn't do anything significant) and horror is very cliche. You can re-watch bhool bhulaiya one and avoid this completely!

Once upon a time, in an expansive haveli, there lived a man and his two daughters. One daughter was noble, the other was malicious. Both fell in love with the same man. But the evil sister slayed the good sister and wedded the man. Eighteen years later, the good sister's spirit is aroused and she decides to wreak vengeance upon a family that has wronged her. What happens next? Watch #BhoolBhulaiyaa2* only for Tabu. The plot is ridiculous. Running time needs to be reduced by 25 minutes. Music is bad. Rating 2/5.

The sequel to a remake that no one asked for is finally here. This time around Anees Bazmee takes over as director and Kartik Aaryan replaces Akshay Kumar in this spiritual sequel that has a spirit with the same name. They should have titled the film Manjulika 2 instead of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2.

Anyway, the sequel is set in a haunted mansion in rural Rajasthan (because cities like Mumbai, Delhi do not host spirits). The daughter and bride to be, Reeti fakes her death to help her sister get married. Ruhan (a total stranger, who she knows for less than 24hrs) accompanies her to the mansion and pretends that he can speak to Preeti's ghost and convinces her family to stay there. Little do they know that Manjulika, a spirit locked away in the mansion is waiting to be set free.

Among the positives, the sequel doesn't take itself too seriously. That's a good thing. There are some hilarious moments thanks to the trio of Rajpal Yadav, Sanjay Mishra & Ashwini kalsekar. The films have always cast a talented actress in the lead and this time it is Tabu (taking over from Vidya Balan). She is flawless as always. Kartik Aaryan and Kiara Advani do justice to their roles. Rajesh Sharma, Milind Gunaji & Amar Upadhyay co-star.

The problem with the film is its predictable chain of events. Many of the lighter moments are pretty obvious as well. The twist at the end wasn't a huge surprise because once the priest died there could have only been one "logical" conclusion. Come to think of it, many of the deaths don't make sense now given the big reveal.

Anyway, I am pretty sure moviegoers will lap this up because only mindless, senseless films make sense these days. Nevertheless, it does manage to entertain you for most part.

Illogical no brainer story, no acting. Nothing unique. Kartick Aryan does his usual acting. Not complaining, it's good. In fact, seldom comedy is the only thing which can make you sit for 2.5 hour. It's a cocktail of dull comedy with boring horror. Overly long and dragging. Won't matter if you watch it on big screen or Ott. I suggest better watch Dhaakad, there at least you will see some good action and impactful villains on big screen.

For a one time watch the movie is fine but the climax is literally bad. Every next scene is predictable but few actors like Rajpal Yadav and Sanjay Mishra hold the graph of the movie by their talent.

Just put your brain aside and enjoy the entertainment.
