‘Bhool Bhulaiyya 2’ movie review: Apart from Tabu, not much to remember in this ‘horror-comedy’
The Hindu15 years after after the ghost of Manjulika was created by Priyadarshan, she is back under the direction of Anees Bazmee. No such luck here as in its second installment, this Bhool Bhulaiyya is not consistently exciting enough to negotiate. Writer Akash Kaushik has mapped an engaging plot, but somehow the humour is in short supply and the elements of horror remain hidden behind closed doors for a long time. Things improve in the second half as Mishra and Rajpal Yadav get some funny lines and juicy situations to play with, while Rajesh Sharma is not bad either in making good use of the situational humour. Some of the indirect references to the current socio-political atmosphere find their target, like when the head of the family orders to check every closed room of the mansion.
