Having generated this kind of buzz after Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, the response and reviews for Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 were a lot varied, which brought interesting aspects to the film along with its weaknesses.
Story:
Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, directed by Anees Bazmee and starring Kartik Aaryan as Rooh Baba-a ghostbuster working in Kolkata who gets entangled in supernatural mystery-is back with the vengeful spirit Manjulika, which is to be exorcised by Princess Meera, played by Triptii Dimri. The film, on its way, runs into two potential Manjulikas-the palace-restoring Mallika (Vidya Balan) and the ambitious Mandira (Madhuri Dixit). The premise provides a thrilling ride, but the pace cannot be maintained through the runtime.
Audience Reaction
The film seems to have polarized the audience. While fans have been pouring in praise for the cast, especially Aaryan and Balan, some others have criticized the script. One of the viewers said, “Power-packed mix of horror, comedy, and suspense. Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 fails to deliver,” expressing the disappointment of many who were expecting a more gripping storyline.
One viewer commented: “A thumping fusion of laughter, scares and a twist in the tale – a great ride to watch once again!” while pointing out Aaryan’s timely comic instincts and Balan’s imposing performance. On the other end, many criticized script writing that seemed unconnected in many places; the pace of the entire movie dragged on, with one-half lagging behind, marked by an overdose of stale humor with predictable jump scares throughout.
Key Performances
Apart from criticism, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 has excellent performances. Vidya Balan’s portrayal as Mallika has been the major strength of the movie, where one saw how well she could switch from comic to haunting moments. Madhuri Dixit was limited to screen presence indeed deep and needed more. The chemistry between Balan and Dixit made the film dynamic and added vibrancy to what was depicted on the screen.
Kartik Aaryan’s come-back as Rooh Baba got mixed reviews. There were all praises for the actor energy, but it seemed the performance was done in return for not coming at par with Akshay Kumar in the earlier installment. Critics say it is only the character that suffers in the hands of overshadowing when the movie turns out to be too slow.
Conclusion and Climax
This film reportedly produces a wonderful finish during the last half-hour that leaves the film playing on better performance. Reviewers described this final leg as being bold and full of emotional choice that goes along to tonal changes and that moves away from a typically meandering pacing by this film. Fans, who had all but written the film off with what could have been expected for Aaryan. ended it delivering a pretty potent finale, proving this boy had something to it.
