The much-anticipated trailer of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, directed by Anees Bazmee, has finally been unveiled, generating excitement among fans of the franchise. The film, blending psychological horror and comedy, sees the return of Vidya Balan as the iconic Manjulika, alongside Madhuri Dixit, Kartik Aaryan, and a talented ensemble cast.
A Haunting Return for Manjulika
The trailer opens with an eerie introduction to Manjulika, the infamous spirit who has been causing chaos for centuries. Vidya Balan, reprising her role from the original Bhool Bhulaiyaa (2007), makes a dramatic entrance, declaring, “I’m Manjulika.” Kartik Aaryan, playing Rooh Baba, tries to put a comedic spin on the situation, suggesting that people should use ghosts to their advantage rather than fear them.
As the trailer progresses, the light-hearted atmosphere begins to shift. Madhuri Dixit’s character becomes possessed by Manjulika, leading to a chilling moment where she also declares, “I’m Manjulika.” This leaves Rooh Baba baffled as both Vidya and Madhuri’s characters seem to embody the same terrifying spirit. Between moments of romance and comedy, Kartik’s character finds himself entangled in a supernatural mystery.
Laughter, Terror, and Chaos
Fans can expect plenty of humorous moments from the film, with seasoned actors Sanjay Mishra, Rajpal Yadav, and Ashwini Kalsekar adding their comic flair to the story. However, the comedy gives way to suspense and thrills as Manjulika returns, unleashing chaos and taking over Madhuri Dixit’s body.
The trailer also features actress Triptii Dimri, whose character is revealed to have a romantic angle with Rooh Baba. In a surprising twist, she hints at their upcoming marriage, but her character is implied to be a ghost, adding another layer to the supernatural confusion.
The Legacy of Bhool Bhulaiyaa
Produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, and Murad Khetani, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 is set for a Diwali 2024 release. This film marks Vidya Balan’s return to the franchise after her memorable performance in the 2007 blockbuster. The first film, directed by Priyadarshan, starred Akshay Kumar and Ameesha Patel and became an instant hit with its mix of horror and comedy. The sequel, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, released in 2022, featured Tabu, Kiara Advani, and Kartik Aaryan, continuing the success of the franchise.
Anees Bazmee on Expanding the Horror-Comedy Genre
Director Anees Bazmee expressed his enthusiasm for the project in a recent interview with ANI. “Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 is a project very close to my heart. We have pushed the boundaries of the horror-comedy genre to bring something fresh and entertaining. Working with such a talented cast and the entire team, from crew members to technicians, has been an absolute pleasure, and I’m confident the audience will enjoy the journey we’ve crafted for them,” he said.
Conclusion
As Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 promises a perfect blend of humor, horror, and mystery, fans are eagerly waiting to see how the film unfolds, especially with the return of Vidya Balan’s iconic character and the addition of Madhuri Dixit to the ensemble cast. With its Diwali release, the film is expected to captivate audiences and live up to the franchise’s legacy.
