Fantastic!

There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

The most impressive thing for me in BB was not the plot, the comedy, the music…it was the art direction. Lavish hawelis and regal courtyards form the backdrop of this comic thriller that sets the tone for much of the film's suspense moments. Even the cars look tastefully royal and the interior decoration, while a bit monotonous at times, is accurate.Coming to the story, well, it's a no-brainer that it has been inspired from a National Award winning regional film. However, the adaptation has been well thought-out and competently executed. While not gripping, it is engrossing, except when Shiny Ahuja and Vidya Balan mouth their lines. Those two form the extreme ends of bad acting, with Shiny epitomizing over-the-top hamming and Vidya being more wooden than the classy cupboards in the palace. Apart from this, the cast is good, the music ably supporting, and the editing crisp. The rationale for the mystery is nothing less than sophisticated mumbo-jumbo but, it works nevertheless.Now, if only I had a palace like that too...

What happens when u give a "Serious Thriller" script to a maestro of comedian? Well, U'll get Bhool Bhulaiyaa!!!!The film is actually a remake of blockbuster Kannada movie "Aptamitra" which in-turn was a remake of a Malyali movie... The same was also remade in Tamil-"Chandramukhi"... But in all these versions its a Serious Thriller... And not a comedy!!!!Priyadarshan has thus taken a trusted and a proved script... The location, Actors, Sets are all well made... Vidya Balan as usual is an Eye Candy... Nothing much to tell bout her acting though... As a whole Priyadrashan has handled the script well... There are some minor mistakes but they are all easily forgiven considering that the movie is a Comedy!!!Coming to Story...well,seeing is better than hearing in this case at least!!!..

It is not actually a comedy movie at all! It is a absolutely a different type of work gifted to us by the talented director.We all know that Priyadarshan is a master of comedy, he knows how to make people laugh anyhow.But if you are thinking this movie to be a comedy, you are mistaken.This is a good drama, thriller and 'get a clearer picture later' kind of a movie.I will not claim it to be a mystery since there is not anything confusing.All of the actors were just fantastic, but Akshay Kumar could do better.I would have appreciated more presence of the Rajpal Yadav.This movie surely deserves to be in your collection.Long Live PRIYADARSHAN !

At the outset let me set the stage here:: I have seen the impeccable Tamil version (it saved Rajnikanth's skin) and for obvious reasons comparisons are bound to be drawn.For starters Priyan has given his own touch to this remake. Having uttered the word remake, its utter confusion which Bible does he follow - Malayalam/ Kannada/ Tamil? Regardless it has its dose of merits and demerits. To make a movie belonging to a genre which is forte or churn out a suspense-cum-horror? A pertinent Shakespearean question he must have faced. Ideally the movie sans comedy and promotions packaged in the similar form would have been a bulls-eye. All the OTT slap-stick antiques are forgotten once you see the credit rolls by.The lens-man needs to be applauded for his effort on capturing the palace and the city so beautifully. The set design deserves a special mention. You get transported into it immediately.Songs should have been done away entirely.The length of the movie – should have trimmed easily by 30 minutes to create an engaging sleek horror-cum-suspense drama. Culprit: Screenplay, which is awfully slow and is noticeable at the pace the suspense unfolds and the actors mouth their lines (would it beat tortoise? I doubt). Having said that, the editor has pulled up his socks in the scenes when Akshay Kumar offers explanation to the Ramsay Brothers events. Result: Audience left in a state of utter confusion.Akshay Kumar:: Starts of as a buffoon. Enter Vikram Gokhale to mention his histrionics and he suddenly transforms to Doctor-doctor.Manoj Joshi:: Why is he barking in (n – 1) scenes? No family history of BP I guess.Shiny Ahuja:: Not one of the roles you would want to remember.Amisha Patel:: Her role is akin to the dartboard. Well, at least Akshay Kumar hits the bulls-eye in the end. (PJ! PJ! PJ!).Priyan you don't have to force-fit Paresh Rawal, Asrani and Rajpal Yadav in every movie of yours and constipate comedy out of them.Finally the weakest link:: The much applauded "to-watch-out" rising Parineeta star, Vidya Balan. Without saying much, just watch Shobana (which fetched a National award) or simply Jyotika. Bottomline: Bengali Manjulika, oops! BTW – can somebody provide the coordinates of this place in India which resembles Banaras, shudh-Hindi speaking people wear Rajasthani clothes, dance to balle-balle and.... and picture this – had Bengali courtesan around 100-years ago?
