My Personal Take on Cinema:
"Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3" offers moments of fun and intrigue but largely feels bogged down by forced humor and a predictable narrative. Anees Bazmee's attempt to balance horror and comedy falters due to an over-reliance on cringe humor. While Kartik Aaryan and Tripti Dimri deliver decent performances, it’s Vidya Balan’s captivating presence and Madhuri Dixit’s emotional depth that elevate the film. Despite some entertaining scenes and a commendable twist, the movie struggles to maintain its charm throughout. It has its moments but doesn’t surpass its predecessor.
