Featured reviews
Unarguably the best horror comedy ever made in India. No stree, no roohi, no go goa gone n not even its remakes in other languages can ever beat it. The only film that comes close n takes the 2nd spot is a bengali movie named bhooter bhobishyot. But its actually a satire with ghosts with no fear. So The definition of horror comedy is Bhool Bhulaiyaa
1st of all hats off to Priyansahab for making such a movie even though it is not original script. Have I seen Kannada or Malayalam version of this movie? NO... then why should I suffer from original or remake issue? 2nd thing I appreciated most is cinematography and art direction thoroughly in every frame of the movie. 3rd thing gripping direction and very much interesting, suspense and thrilling story-line and script by Neeraj Vora. Hats off again.
I just watched it in last show yesterday and in spite of absence of Akshay Kumar for 45 mins. hardly I felt boring in few minutes but I got returns of those minutes in 2nd half which was damn damn damn interesting, gripping and psychological in last 30 mins.
In short, I loved this movie so much and it is purely an entertainer and shown us great depth of human psychology and gave a hidden message to stay away from blind faith related to ghost and witches.
I admire Bhool Bhulaiya

Despite the fact that the movie was promoted as a comedy, the film is a physcological thriller with a few comic situations. Priyadarshan does a good job as a director. In comparison with his previous films, he takes a leap as a director by making a movie with a genre of its own.
In my opinion, Bhool Bhulaiyaa is way better than the original movie, Manichithrathazhu. Probably because of the technicians have improved since then.
Akshay Kumar does his usual comic act, and he's funny here as well. Shiny Ahuja hams, but is good in parts. The last 45 minutes belong to none other than, Vidya Balan. Throughout the movie she doesn't have much to do but the steals the show with her superb performance towards the climax. Ameesha Patel looks ethereal and is effective in a small yet important role. The supporting cast are first-rate, especially Paresh Rawal, Rasika Joshi and Manoj Joshi.
The songs are good; Labon Ko is easy on the ears.
All in all, Bhool Bhulaiyaa is a well-executed movie, though lengthy in parts! Time-pass!

"Bhool Bhulaiyaa" is a movie that pleasantly surprised me. I wasn't aware of the fact that this is a remake. I live in the Netherlands and only can get copies of Hindi movies. So without having any knowledge about the story I could watch this movie with fresh eyes and just loved it. The trailer is very misleading and letting people believe that it is a comedy. And I was glad that it wasn't. It is a real good suspense movie. Not in the sense that it was thrilling every minute. But you just feel that something is up. The comedy and horror elements are there to put you off course. I love the fact that they play around with superstition,religion and science. It is quite a remarkable psychological thriller. Be honest. There aren't many Indian movies like this compared to Hollywood movies. Not one minute I got bored with this movie. And let me tell you that is saying something. I have seen a lot of (American,Korean,Japanese,British,Dutch and Hong Kong)movies this year and with most of them I was very disappointed. And now you have "Om Shanti Om, "Johny Gaddar" and "Bhool Bhulaiyaa that did quite the opposite. For me this movie rocked big time. And there should be much more movies like this one.
BEST MOVIE EVER! Like, I was 5 years old when this movie released and now it's been 13 years...and still this movie is tightly stick with my heart. There is something which is ever green in this movie and I just....I just love Bool Bhulaiyaa and trust me, I know it's been a long time till now when this movie was released but if you want to watch FFUNNY and HORRIBLE Bollywood picture with your family or friends....just go for it!! Go for BHOOL BHULAIYAA!

- TriviaDespite top billing in the credits , Akshay does not enter the scene till the first hour is complete.
- GoofsDuring the scene when Aditya (Akshay Kumar) is talking to Shri Yagyaprakashji Bharti (Vikram Gokhale) in the courtyard, we can see a crew member dressed in a black tee and jeans in the background. He makes his way out of the frame, cautiously, so as to not be seen, but obviously fails to do so.

Shri Yagyaprakashji Bharti: [pointing at Aditya] I've seen him somewhere before.
Batukshankar Upadhyay: Then you might have seen him in a mental asylum.
