A Virgin Tree in Delhi’s St. Vincent School of Arts and Tradition is worshipped each Valentine’s Day by these thirsting for real love. On each Holika Dahan Day, a couple of weeks later, nevertheless, a pupil commits suicide and his soul is “taken away” by a spirit residing there.
The school administration is flummoxed, and as their fame is at stake, they name in a ghostbuster, Baba (Sanjay Dutt), who is available in along with his refined gadgetry to decipher the thriller.
In the meantime, school pupil Shantanu (Sunny Singh) has been betrayed by his final girlfriend and craves real love. When howling (!) for sacchi mohabbat in entrance of the Virgin Tree, he’s saved by the mysterious lovelorn spirit itself, named Mohabbat (Mouni Roy), who falls in love with him. However she won’t like competitors (Ananya), being herself deceived in love. Shantanu and Ananya at the moment are creating ‘emotions’ for one another, see?
From right here begins a posh mix of horror, comedy, feelings, romance, and drama that goes into unusual realms within the climax, unveiling Mohabbat’s tragic previous, and a twist within the story for Baba.
The Bhootnii Film Assessment: Script Evaluation
Co-written by director Sidhaant Sachdev together with Vankush Arora, the story is a shade completely different from the usual horror drama and even horror comedy. Nevertheless, it does have the usual tropes of such movies—scared mates of the hero (Aasif Khan and BeYouNick), eerie sounds and happenings, and nightly incidents. Mohabbat can be truly filled with ‘nafrat’ (hate) as she offers with Ananya and Baba, as in the perfect revenge-horror custom.
The script tries to make do with contemporary components like Mohabbat explaining to Shantanu that she is “not alive,” Baba’s armamentarium of digital cameras and displays, and ghost sensors scanning the campus and even the characters, with an acolyte monitoring the supernatural actions. Baba thus manages to save lots of Shantanu and Ananya in sure conditions.
The movie unabashedly goes into absurd terrain after we see a school with such a ridiculous setup (the scholars’ rooms are like prolonged boutique resorts—and extra, to offer only one instance!) with the establishment permitting romance to thrive within the annual festivities and likewise encouraging paranormal investigations! The campus proven in lengthy pictures and shut pictures appears to be completely different from one another, and the happenings are extraordinarily far-fetched and much from humorous, with the humor and one-liners being of plebian requirements, just like the Baba-Mama “joke” highlighted within the trailer.
The Bhootnii Film Assessment: Star Efficiency
However for a honest Mouni Roy making an attempt her greatest in a ‘religious’ position, and Aasif Khan making the perfect of a trope-ridden character, nobody actually even tries to behave with ability. BeYouNick has the correct expressions and physique language, however is atypical on the entire. Sunny Singh, Palak Tiwari, and the others simply undergo the motions sans any distinction.
And Sanjay Dutt (additionally the co-producer of this movie) does his umpteenth replay of the Munna Bhai mode, in the way in which Kareena Kapoor Khan would reprise Poo for a couple of years and films! The remaining don’t matter.
The Bhootnii Film Assessment: Path, Music
If debutant director and co-writer Sidhaant Sachdev needs to be complimented, it’s only in giving some contemporary base to the tried-and-tested horror comedy style blended with lovelorn romance. The sources (monetary, human, and technical) splurged on this misadventure may have been higher employed in a correctly scripted and conceived drama, retaining the story the identical!
The songs, too, are greatest not talked about. As at all times, Amar Mohile’s background rating is loud.
The Bhootnii Film Assessment: The Final Phrase
With nothing actually to suggest, neither the comedy, definitely not the horror aspect, and a really atypical romantic tenor, I’d reasonably revisit different horror comedies in Hindi cinema as an alternative of The Bhootnii.
One and a half stars!
