Bhool Bhulaiyaa is a psychological horror comedy movie directed by Priyadarshan and stars an ensemble cast of Akshay Kumar, Vidya Balan, Shiney Ahuja, Ameesha Patel, Paresh Rawal, Manoj Joshi, Rajpal Yadav, Asrani, Vikram Gokhale and Late Rasika Joshi with Tarina Patel, Vineeth and Jimit Trivedi.
I have watched this movie many times and had never got bored and might watch many more times, the movie was released in 2007 and I am watching again in 2021 and this movie still feels fresh. Great acting, gripping screenplay, mesmerizing music and above all the great humour in between the horror made this movie a perfect horror comedy movie.
This is a kind of movie that Bollywood seriously lack and it's the main reason that the movie has now attained the cult status. This movie is undoubtedly the landmark movie in Indian Cinema whenever we will talk about horror comedy movies.
Acting is strong in fact it's superb and it's the charm of Akshay Kumar who will make you enchanted with his Charismatic performance, remember he arrives after almost an hour of the start of the movie and as soon as he arrives on screen he hijacks the entire environment, I remember watching the movie in movie theater and the viewers literally applauded the entry of Akshay Kumar by whistling and clapping, this would not be a shocking scenario in a small city cinema hall but in a Multiplex in a major city was a shocker and exciting for me. Vidya Balan was just stupendous in her character and I think no one could've portrayed the character better than her. Rest all the characters be it Ameesha Patel, Shiney Ahuja, Paresh Rawal, Manoj Joshi, Asrani and Rajpal Yadav, they all are multi talented and had played their part perfectly.
Screenplay of the movie deserves special applaud and mention as the screenplay is knitted so perfectly that it doesn't gives a small hint till the end of the movie as who is Manjulika and comes as a shocker for almost all the viewers. The director and screenplay writer were successfully in feeding the mind of viewers with many guesses until the revelation in the climax. Climax of the movie is just great and gives a perfect and happy ending to the movie.
Music and background music were mesmerizing, the background score of the movie has been great in creating the mysterious atmosphere. The songs of the movie were also great with 'Hare Krishna Hare Ram' was a chart buster and is still famous.
There might be few Horror comedies before Bhool Bhulaiyaa and there were several good horror comedy movies which came after Bhool Bhulaiyaa such as Go Goa Gone and Stree which are good horror comedies but the status or level attained by Bhool Bhulaiyaa might not be surpassed by another movie easily. A surely must watch flick.
