I remember being in awe of Akshay Kumar and Vidya Balan when I saw their 2007 psychological thriller comedy Bhool Bhulaiyaa. The way Vidya played the role of a woman suffering from Dissociative Identity Disorder was like the tip of the talent that she went on to show in future. And the film became a special one for me and a lot of people. So, when it was announced that Anees Bazmee was making a sequel to it with Kartik Aaryan, Kiara Advani and Tabu, I was invested in it from the word go. Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 has been one of the most awaited film of the year and the teaser released today of the horror comedy lives up to that hype.
Check out the teaser here:
The teaser begins with the familiar ‘Haunted Haveli’ that we saw in the first part set to the music of the infamous Aami Je Tomar. Just hearing that music again sent chills down my spine. As the lock on the sealed door opens suddenly, what excites me the most is that there seems to be an actual ghost involved this time around in the film, and it is spooky.
Seeing Kartik as the cool ‘Rooh Baba’ has to be highlight of the teaser. The music of Hare Krishna Hare Ram in the background just sets the perfect vibe for his introduction. Rajpal Yadav as Chhota Pandit just gives the most apt entry shot for the actor and this avatar of Kartik surely seems something really different and exciting.
The teaser is promising a lot of scares accompanied with a lot of laughter and a hint of nostalgia. Bhool Bhulaiyaa made me fall more in love with cinema, and I am certain that with Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, Kartik, Kiara and Tabu will do the same this time around when the film hits the screens on May 20, 2022.
