Plot

[edit]

Ruhaan "Rooh Baba" Randhawa enjoys deceiving people by claiming to be a ghostbuster. Meera's uncle calls him to speak with Meera, who is supposedly possessed by a ghost. When Meera arrives, Ruhaan is terrified, believing her to be a real ghost. Her uncle captures his reaction on Meera's phone and blackmails Ruhaan, threatening to post the video online if he doesn't accompany them to Rakht Ghat.

With no other option, Ruhaan agrees. Upon his arrival, everyone is shocked to see him because he looks exactly like Rajkumar Debendranath, a prince from 200 years ago. The royal family currently lives in the horse barn due to the presence of Manjulika's spirit in the palace.

The Rajpurohit warns everyone not to go near Manjulika's room, advising that it should only be opened on Durgashtami by a royal family member reborn to rid them of the ghost. Believing that Ruhaan is the reincarnation of Debendranath, everyone moves back to the palace.

According to a local myth, 200 years ago, Manjulika was a princess. The king had a son, Debendranath, with a servant. When he decided to name Debendranath as his heir, Manjulika killed him out of rage. In retaliation, the king burned Manjulika alive, and her vengeful spirit now haunts the palace, responsible for several deaths.

Meera calls in a restoration team to work on the palace so it can be sold. Mallika, the team leader, begins showing signs of possession. Ruhaan learns of the real ghost and plans to escape but realizes he needs to erase his video before leaving. While searching for it, he discovers Meera has secretly taken his photos, suggesting romantic feelings for him. She confirms this when confronted.

Ruhan decides to stay but soon learns that Pandit, Panditaayan, and Chhote Pandit are already living in Manjulika's room. They reveal they've been trying to scare everyone away so they could stay there in peace. The restoration team takes over the room and accidentally breaks a wall, uncovering a hidden passage leading to a room sealed with the Bhairava Kavach. The Rajpurohit, curious, decides to research more about the palace's history.

Desperate to sell the property, Raja Saab decides to break the Bhairava Kavach with Rooh Baba's help. Just as they open the door, the Rajpurohit arrives with news that the room belonged to Anjulika, Manjulika and Debendranath's elder sister. He reveals that the king 200 years ago had two daughters who despised each other.

Despite knowing the palace's haunted reputation, Mandira arrives as a prospective buyer to learn more about the estate. After she meets Mallika, strange events begin occurring. The Rajpurohit warns everyone to be cautious until Durgashtami, the day when Manjulika is expected to take her revenge.

Ruhan and Meera have several eerie encounters with both Mallika and Mandira, confused about which one is the real Manjulika. The Rajpurohit returns with sacred oil to destroy Manjulika's spirit, and the night before Durgashtami, they gather at the site where her body was burned 200 years ago. Ruhaan cleverly manages to exorcise the spirit that had possessed both Mallika and Mandira, finally learning that it was not a female but actually a male ghost, that of Prince Debendranath, who was killed 200 years ago for his love of dance and disdain for his male identity.

It is finally revealed that Anjulika and Manjulika conspired to have Debendranath killed to secure the throne. Once exposed to the king, he ordered his ministers to burn him (Debendranath) alive. Following this, the king expelled both sisters from the kingdom. Sometime later Prince Debendranath's ghost killed the king and his guards. The Rajpurohit of that era then sealed Debendranath's spirit in the hidden room, secured by the Bhairava Kavach. It was finally revealed that it was Debendranath's spirit that was causing all the disturbances by possessing his sisters' reincarnations, Mallika and Mandira.

In the end, Mallika, Mandira and Debendranath's spirit share a heartfelt moment as Debendranath finally finds the peace he's longed for over two centuries.

In the mid-credit scene, it is revealed that Mandira is not the real buyer. She is actually ACP Rathore, an undercover cop, who has come to arrest Ruhaan for his frauds as the fake ghostbuster Rooh Baba. Ruhaan, upon knowing this, faints out of shock as the credits roll.

[edit]

On 9 March 2024, in Mumbai, the cast and crew of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 gathered for an inaugural muhurat puja ceremony to mark the beginning of principal photography.

Vidya Balan, Triptii Dimri, Rajesh Sharma, and co-producer Shiv Chanana were also present at the ceremony.[12][13] A glimpse video of this ceremony was shared by T-Series on 11 March 2024, titled "Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 Begins", The video also featured Aaryan shooting the first shot of the movie, which was a train sequence, filmed by DOP Manu Anand.[14]

During shooting, director Anees Bazmee faced significant challenges as he fractured his leg on the last day of the film recce. Against doctor's suggestions to get a steel plate and rest for 3 months, he opted for minor surgery that allowed him to honor his commitment to the film. He came to the film set in a wheelchair and continued with his work.[15][16] The film's production involved extensive planning and coordination, with key members Bhushan Kumar, Bazmee, and Aaryan actively engaged in discussions and preparations.[17]

After completing the Kolkata schedule, the team resumed filming on the same Bengali set in Mumbai, with a segment involving Kartik Aaryan, Sanjay Mishra, Vijay Raaz, Rajpal Yadav, and Ashwini Kalsekar, wrapping up the week-long schedule on 13 May 2024.

In early June 2024, the team took a break from shooting, allowing Aaryan to focus on promotional commitments for his film Chandu Champion, which was released on 14 June 2024. The next schedule was kicked off on 1 July 2024, in Orchha, Madhya Pradesh[33][34] with Kartik Aaryan, Vidya Balan, Madhuri Dixit, Triptii Dimri, Rajpal Yadav, and others.[35] Key scenes were shot at various historic landmarks such as Orchha Fort, Ram Raja Mandir, where some dramatic scenes were filmed, and Jahangir Mahal, where Aaryan filmed a romantic song and some romantic scenes with Dimri.

Critical response

[edit]

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 46% of 13 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 6.6/10.[54]

Bollywood Hungama rated the film 4.5 stars out of 5 and wrote, "Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 is a well-made horror comedy which works due to its performances, taut script, creative execution and above all, an unpredictable climax."[55] Sukanya Verma of Rediff.com rated the film 3/5 stars and opined "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".[56] Renuka Vyavahare of The Times of India rated 3.5/5 stars and wrote "The movie is unabashedly entertaining, cheesy, and wild, with moments that will have you laughing out loud."[57]

Vinamra Mathur of Firstpost rated the film 3/5 stars and wrote "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 of Devdas with her thunderous aura and nimble moves. And for those stepping in with zero expectations, may not be exactly doing a Bhool!".[58] Anuj Kumar of The Hindu says ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’ is a drab horror comedy where talented actors like Madhuri Dixit and Vidya Balan have been underutilized. He further says "Kartik Aaryan is the lifeline who keeps the film alive with his situational humour but director Anees Bazmee has faltered between sticking to stereotypes and taking a progressive step." He continues that stereotyping of Bengalis and their culture has been done for easy laughs but the film is ultimately a hypocritical charade.[59]

Shubhra Gupta of The Indian Express rated the film 1.5/5 stars and wrote "Kartik Aaryan's Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 suffers from the same things that Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 did: stereotypes instead of characters, forced humour which refuses to land, and tasteless lines bordering on the risible."[60] Saibal Chatterjee of NDTV rated the film 2.5 out of 5 stars and said "Kartik Aaryan's star turn is a repeat act that promises a box-office outcome that could be on par with what Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 yielded."[61] Udita Jhunjhunwala of Mint opined "The dynamic between Madhuri Dixit and Vidya Balan is an opportunity wasted in the long film, which is high on concept but low on mood".[62] Abhimanyu Mathur of Hindustan Times writes "A brave climax attempts to elevate this otherwise middling horror comedy. The film simply tries to sell a brand through nostalgia, using a new(er) rendition of Ami Je Tomar and Vidya Balan."[63]

Neha Sen of Deccan Herald rated the film 3 stars out of 5 and highlighted "The film retains some traditional horror elements while still trying to be comedic. It ends up delivering neither with much grace nor gusto. A few jumpscares scattered around and a handful of laughs are not enough to salvage the broken Bangla and thoroughly under-researched presentation of the Bengali culture and festivities."[64] Nishad Thaivalappil of News18 rated 2/5 stars and opined "The film features unexplained flashbacks and the mediocre jokes and predictable jump scares make it a rather dull watch."[65] Tanmayi Savadi of Times Now rated the film 4 out of 5 stars and wrote "The film resorts to cliché jokes and dramatics. The scares are effective but never bone-chilling. It is enigmatic, mysterious and deceptive."[66]

Ritika Handoo of Zee News rated the film 3 out of 5 stars and highlighted "What deserves a special mention here is the twist-filled climax. The writers have done their homework well to keep the crescendo high for the end."[67] Nandini Ramnath of Scroll.in writes "Imagination is largely in short supply in the threequel. Except for a twist about Manjulika's identity that works well, the film has little that we haven't seen before in the previous movie."[68] Amit Bhatia of ABP Live rated the film 3/5 stars and said "Vidya Balan and Madhuri Dixit breathe energy into the narrative, and while the comedy isn’t as punchy as hoped, the story’s twists and moral message manage to engage. With a blend of humour, nostalgia, and spooky twists, it’s an entertaining ride that ultimately delivers a memorable experience."[69]

Aakriti Agarwala of The Statesman (India) rated the film 2.5 stars and wrote, "‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’ is a through-and-through climax-driven film that didn’t know what to do with the first two hours. Dominated by dull comic punches and references, unnecessary and forced song sequences, and complete mutilation of the Bengali language and dialect, the film fails to keep the audiences at the edge of their seats. It was only in the last 30 minutes that the stars had the chance to shine."[70]
