Subharati Das

Certainly worth a watch, especially with the legendary Madhuri Dixit and Vidya Balan gracing the screen—you can't miss these original divas in action! Kartik Aaryan and Tripti Dimri also deliver strong performances, keeping us engaged throughout the film. The story has plenty of twists and can be a bit confusing at times. While it includes some unnecessary one-liners, the references to the original movie are enjoyable...the last half hour is quite emotional (it might even tear you up!). There’s a HUGE revelation at the end that changes the entire perspective of the movie. Although the plot diverges significantly from the previous films, Kartik Aaryan continues his role as Rooh Baba, and the name Manjulika is used, linking it back to the franchise. The music in the movie features a revised version of "Ami Je Tomar," which Shreya Ghoshal as always nails beautifully. Watching the two divas dance together in the song was a bucket list moment! However, I wasn't a fan of the song "Jaana Samjho Na," as it was just another remix of the original masterpiece. That said, the "Bhool Bhulaiyaa" title track at the end is always a winner--it consistently passes the vibe check, no matter how many times you hear it. However, nothing can truly beat the original movie, and the sequels feel more like an attempt to maintain the hype. Overall, I would watch it once, but I don’t think it’s worth a rewatch.
