Bollywood exuberated glee at the announcement of their new installment to the franchise, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, a much anticipated and discussed sequel. This glee is seen in other works produced around the same time, like the Diwali horror-comedy. It takes different worlds, adds some nostalgia, and breathes into it a new life. The franchise’s darling ‘Rooh Baba’ is back, and along with him is the returning theastonishing Vidya Balan and Madhuri Dixit, supported by the prominent performance of Tripti Dimri. Much like its predecessors, the sequel is destined to be much more than a holiday staple. It encompasses gamuts of reality with its imaginative intertwining of art with history, and the emotions constructing its dazzling surface.
An evolution of a rom-com hero to a genre icon, in a single breath.
The character ‘Rooh Baba’ which he once again played, felt strangely new and nostalgically old to the Kashaptan of Bhul Bhulaiyaa. The actor presented with the personality, devoid of grace, adorned with an actor’s lad in a time of growth, his come along was much more. The intensity demanded a head and heart with a transposing of a rom-com. The physical and emotional metamorphosis was necessary in order to achieve this kind of balance. The audience was presented a first hand encounter with him performing this along with other Baz Luhrmann like montages of the famed banking of Vidya Balan at Howrah Bridge.
Magnetic Return: Vidya Balan Reflections on Fiction ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa’ Sequel Film Vidya Balan.
Dhillon sat helpless for a moment. He staunchly defended the spinster, spilling the beans on the ad: ‘It was done in tribute to the classiest actress from the last few decades. How could I extrapolate the visual at the exalted memory of Dharmendra, invent a new character in another prism, and leave behind a vision of a family man who singlehandedly mapped the foundations of a booming automobile industry in this country, ensuring at the same time its children married upwards to the Ngobi Royal family?’
Brahmastra garnered disdain for what Dhillon claimed in an interview was ‘overly daring’ when he cast American-born Arinandan to play the title role of an Indian man. The filmmaker offered instead ‘unintended xenophobia’ to charitable accusations of ‘miscasting’. His thesis: the ‘Dharmendra vision’ commanding adulation when glorifying multiple dharam for Dharmendra. ‘Only an Indian-born actor can suggest Dharmendra who pivots a stream of dhanya, membership dharam of obstructions.’
Dhillon claimed in the same interview that the swashbuckling spear, whirling, riding, wrestling, and the cowboy of dancing and swashbuckler costumes descended in an ‘unwelcome dynamic’. He orchestrated Azure the whirling.
Triptii Dimri: The new talent with a captivating aura
Currently, Triptii is a star because of Animal, and after using Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, she is surely showing her versatility and range. Her BTS snippets like from the high lying kittens to stunts showed a soft fierceness behind her beautiful face, and she posts them to the public. As a spiritual character, her Meera, floated with gentle angst, which a lot of young actors would kill to portray in a franchise this big, let alone manage to land a role in it.
Anees Bazmee’s fractal of folklore, chaos, and commitment
Director Anees Bazmee, a veteran whose catalog spans No Entry to Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, is also behind the love and care with which the legacy is handled. During a proiect, he broke his leg, which meant he had to sit, but he did not want to, he wheeled his chair to keep the set in motion and did not skip a second of the timeline. His relective warmth was present in the zany combination of horror and humor in the film, which is a watershead moment for the genre that is still on the banks of the river of Hindi cinema.
The set, the buzz, the bits that fans only glimpsed.
The filming took place in Mumbai, Kolkata, Orchha, and Leh, where Bengali village film sets replaced actual sites and lent realism, particularly in a reconstructed dance-trope sequence. Kartik’s playing with BTS scenes on Instagram turned into fawning praise, particularly where he clashed with Manjulika on the Howrah Bridge in Rooh Baba. Even some wild speculations ensued: during his promotion, Kartik mentioned some other actress rather carelessly and pointlessly- suggesting some hidden shoots or cameos and stoked fan theories.
What the film holds up to the society’s mirror.
The film seems to be a horror-comedy at first glance, however, It has more complex ideological layers beneath. A haunted mansion in Kolkata becomes an allegory for the collective psyche in India, where conventional ideas are juxtaposed with urban skepticism. The beloved trope featuring ghosts and exorcisms indicates deeply rooted fears concerning family, the father, and the ethereal. Furthermore, embracing with legacy stars and bold new ones, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 built the emotional bridge across generations in Bollywood, fulfilling the audience’s longing for intimacy in a fractured marketplace.
The discussions along with the over-memefication of Kartik’s exaggerated lines, the praise for synergy between Vidya & Madhuri, and the quiet appreciation for Triptii’s energy all showcase how one film transcends its box-office gross. It becomes a cultural conversation, a ritual of sorts for Diwali where we both laugh and tremble—and reflect on those who bridge Bollywood’s splendid past with its promising future.
