Review: Starring Kartik Aaryan, Kiara Advani and Tabu Gives Thrills and Chills

I've always maintained that horror and comedy are two of the most difficult genres because it's not easy to scare someone or make them laugh. So when you combine them, the most important thing is to find the right balance, otherwise the result may fail.

Anyway. However, in director anees bazmee's bhool bhulaiyaa 2, he  managed to strike the right balance. While the second installment in the franchise, starring kartik aaryan, kiara advani, and tabu, manages to retain the thrills and  Chills of the first installment, this story is entirely different from the original, save for manjulika.Bhool bhulaiyaa 2 largely revolves around strangers ruhan randhawa (aaryan) and reet rathore (advani) who meet in a snowy region and decide to spend some time at a music festival, which helps them avoid a fatal accident. 

But fate takes them directly. To an abandoned castle where greater challenges await the duo, one of which is manjulika. If the first part  was a psychological thriller with horror elements, this one gives a face to the main antagonist. Anees bazmee is known for his comedy Films like the welcome franchise, singh is kinng and no entry, so the comedic elements in bhool bhulaiyaa 2  really aren't a surprise considering the director's mastery of the genre. But even the horror sequences in this sequel can stand out.He didn't resort to jumping scares but  used different elements to make his scenes unique. For example, a puzzle sequence that stays true to the film title. The case is  aakash kaushik, who wrote the story and screenplay. While the story has its little flaws, especially  the climax, which feels a bit drawn out, overall bhool bhulaiyaa 2 manages to grab your attention. Written by farhad samji and  Aakash kaushik, the dialogues land well while dop manu anand's lens captures the right emotions.Another very important element in a horror comedy is the background music, and sandeep shirodkar does a great job. Of course, the background music of the original is helpful in many places and gives the film a nostalgic value. Editor bunty nagi has made the film flow smoothly, while art director ajay verekar and production designer rajat poddar help elevate the film's genre demands. Mukesh chhabra's casting is underway. Speaking of  performances, kartik, kiara and tabu have all grown into their roles, especially the main couple's on-screen chemistry is something to watch out for. The supporting actors do their characters well and one wonders if there's anything  sanjay mishra, rajpal yadav, ashwini kalsekar, rajesh sharma and govind namdeo can't. Amar upadhyay and milind gunaji play well, but their roles seem inherently limited. Samarth chauhan as potlu is sure to win hearts. Overall, the film has the mass appeal of And the potential to bring audiences back to theaters.
