Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 running havoc earning over RS 25 crore on 3rd day of its release which pushes its total earning over RS 56- 57 crore. As estimated the movie is already on the way of a big hit on the box-office. The trend over the weekend suggests it will cross over RS 100 crore within 10 days and has a high chance of entering into the RS 150 crore club.
Priyadarshan’s Bhool Bhulaiyaa originally released in 2007 was no doubt the OG, so when a new cast was introduced in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 fans were skeptical about it. However, performance of the entire cast is praise worthy, specially casting of Kartick Aryaan in place of Akshay Kumar raised may questions but he made every doubter a fitting reply with his acting.

Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 Movie Review:
Anees Bajmee’s “Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2” is not a sequel of the 2007 version, its rather a remake trying to indulge the OG fans into a similar experience. While the original film had more grip on the emotional side and fusion of comedy, BB2 mostly dances on humour, silliness, and safe horror with some whacky one liners and typical horror signs.
The acting of Kartik Aaryan wowed many no one expected him to do this good. Although his character is absolutely different from the one played by the legend Akshay Kumar but you could easily find out the inspirations drawn from the previous film and that is what makes Kartik Aaryan a.k.a. Rooh baba a stand out. Its really mind blowing to even think how much pressure he must have had from the fans and yet he shone the brightest.
Tabu, as graceful as ever makes a huge impact on the story itself it’ll be so unfair to not give her enough credit. It’ll be so unfair to even think of comparing the role of Vidya Balan to that of Tabu. Among all the main characters Reet played by Kiara Advani Seemed the weakest not because of the acting but mostly because her character didn’t have the weightage it needed to impact the storyline.
The character of Sanjay Mishra and Chhote Pandit played by the comic legend Rajpal Yadav deserves no extra mention the dialogues coupled with their performance made it funnier.
Review: The final words
It’s been a while since Bollywood made some quality comedy films, most of the films either tries too hard to induce a gag or doesn’t have enough of it. However, if you love comedy-horror genre of movies you’ll not be disappointed of BB2.
It has comedy, silliness, low drama, somewhat spookiness and outstanding acting by the entire cast and should not be missed out.
