Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 Reviews

This third-go-round suffers from the same things that the previous one did: stereotypes instead of characters, forced humour which refuses to land, and tasteless lines bordering on the risible.

A gleefully hammy Madhuri and Vidya's volley of death stares and evil laughs engage in a ruthless glamorous tug of war in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, notes Sukanya Verma.

The ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’ album brings an engaging mix of eerie, romantic, and lively tracks that align with the film’s horror-comedy vibe.

Roohan aka Rooh Baba (Kartik) is a charlatan, a ghostbuster who cons people in Kolkata.

Kartik Aaryan is alive to the situational humour but director Anees Bazmee falters between sticking to stereotypes and taking a progressive step

In 2007, Priyadarshan directed Vidya Balan as the ghostly apparition Manjulika in Bhool Bhulaiyaa, with Aneez Bazmee taking over the reins of this comedy-horror franchise in 2022.

Proud Kashmiri. Bollywood Buff - Ritika Handoo has been covering the world of glitz and glamour for over 14 years.

'Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3' makes for a fun family watch this Diwali. With a blend of humour, nostalgia, and spooky twists, it’s an entertaining ride that ultimately delivers a memorable experience.

Sequels are often held up to unexpected standards. The second instalment to the Kartik Aaryan-starrer ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa’ franchise, third in overall, has both its good moments and bad.

BB3 has its share of highs and lows but it delivers what you expect from a Diwali family entertainer. Make sure you guard the climax for others to enjoy the film, too.

Vidya Balan’s return to the franchise was the talk of the town. Was it worth the hype? Definitely! The new version of Manjulika has an air of suspense and thrill.

This Bhool Bhulaiyaa is a-'maze'-ing in many ways! It is a no-holds-barred, unapologetically whacky, loopy laughathon well-blended with the horror element, that commands a lot of screwball fun and paisa-vasool manoranjan.

Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 could be savored taste; for those wanting to see romance have Aaryan and Dimri, for those waiting to see the OG Manjulika have Balan at their service, for anyone enamored by Dixit, she brings back the memories…

For fans of Bhool Bhool Bhulaiyaa 1 and 2, they might be in for a ride this time too. However, for those who didn’t enjoy Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, the latest installment may not be that impressive either.

It is evident that Kartik Aaryan’s has got the hang of the weird and disorienting house of mirrors that is Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3.

On the whole, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 is too ordinary and a bit too convoluted to be appreciated much by the audience.

Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 is a good festival entertainer worth watching. Had the first-half worked better, the film would have elevated itself to a higher ground. And will Manjulika be back for the fourth time ?
