Short Review on Bhool Bhulaiya!

Bhol Bhulaiya
Priyadarshan , did it again! Yes , with Bhool Bhulaiya - A Physco thriller.
After Hera phera, a prized comedy in the list of movies directed by him , his popularity ebbed out with myriad lowly movies like Dhol ,Bhagam Bhag ,Chup Chup Ke , Malamaal Weekly ,Kyon Ki ,Garam Masala , Hulchul ,Hungama ,Yeh Teraa Ghar Yeh Meraa Ghar all in a row.
The humour in most of the above movies were vapid , forced and a vain attempt to establish jest.
A quality that is deeply appreciated in Priyadarshan movies is his attempt in preserving Indian culture and tradition .His storyline usually revolves around rural background and motif is usually fun and frolic in a small town or among the protagonists .This helps desi audience to establish connection with his motion pictures easily as they are an authentic display of realism , unlike few bollywood directors , who take pleasure in grandiose display of glamour by shooting in foreign locations.
Indeed the undulating popularity of priyadarshan is now (after Bhol Bhulaiya) at a smooth rise , after a series of downfall. Bhol Bhulaiya showcases a good attempt in reviving humour , quiver , music , acting and dance which got a little sidetracked in his previous movies. The movie is overall a good watch since the direction was fairly matured , the actors performed well, the songs managed to keep the tempo enjoyable , story created fear , encouraged laughter at times and suspense was an unexpected twist.
The Actors:
Vidya Balan :She did a good display of emotions and is a complete package of a perfect actress .
Akshay : Smiles at his best ,acts well and is a perfect candidate for comedy.
Shiny Ahuja :Needs a lot of polishing in acting to become a good thespian , which can definitely be his imminent characteristic with experience, in due course of time.His vague ,loud and out of the blue decibal pitches , were an amateur display of anger and frustration.
Rajpal Yadav :His erattic behaviour manages to draw little humour from time to time .
Paresh Rawal:His proud acceptance of lacking courage in the movie and succumbing to fear easily, on a slight vision of paranormal phenomenon, in the manor is admirable.
Asrani: He is funny at times with his false display of valour.
Vineeth: Any classical dance involving men tends to resemble a "Gay Performance" , but can't deny , that he is a perfectionist , when it comes to indian classical dancing.
Music: The background score was a good attempt and songs like "Laboon Ko" and title song "Bhool Bhlaiya,Hare Rama and Hare Krishna" truly created a realm of ecstasy and fun.
Critiques were not impressed with this movie and rated it poorly but I feel it was a good attempt to make something different.
I don't want to narrate the entire movie , Kudos to Priyadarshan and all actors involved !
It’s a Good One….Watch it!
