The highly anticipated third installment of the popular Bollywood horror-comedy franchise, "Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3," has finally hit the big screen. Starring Kartik Aaryan, Vidya Balan, and Madhuri Dixit, the film brings back the thrilling mix of suspense, humor, and eerie encounters that made its predecessors such a hit. Directed by Anees Bazmee, the film premiered in theaters on November 1, 2024, facing tough competition from Ajay Devgn's "Singham Again." However, it has managed to capture the attention of audiences with its intriguing storyline and stellar cast.
Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 continues the legacy of the franchise by exploring a new chapter in the haunted world of the Manjulika spirit. Kartik Aaryan reprises his role as Rooh Baba, a fake exorcist who finds himself entangled in a supernatural dilemma within an old mansion in Kolkata. The film introduces a twist as Rooh Baba encounters two supernatural entities, each claiming to be the infamous Manjulika. This creates a thrilling race against time as Rooh Baba must uncover the truth behind the haunting while battling his own fears.
Adding to the already star-studded cast, Vidya Balan returns to the franchise, reprising her iconic role of Manjulika from the original "Bhool Bhulaiyaa." Her presence brings a sense of familiarity and nostalgia to the film, while Madhuri Dixit's entry as a new character adds a layer of intrigue and complexity to the haunting mystery. The ensemble cast also includes talented actors like Tripti Dimri, Vijay Raaz, Rajpal Yadav, and Sanjay Mishra, each contributing their unique comedic flair to the film's spooky atmosphere.
Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 was produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, and Murad Khetani with a budget of Rs 150 crore. The film aimed to replicate the success of its predecessors, which proved to be box office hits. The original "Bhool Bhulaiyaa," led by Akshay Kumar, grossed Rs 82.84 crore, while the 2022 sequel, featuring Kartik Aaryan in the lead role, brought in a impressive Rs 184.32 crore. Following its successful theatrical run, "Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3" is now set to grace the screens of viewers at home.
