Attempting a franchise despite the original staying afresh in the audience's memory is a high-risk bet. 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2,' however, escapes the tricky waters of expectations. An accidental yet destined meet-up between two strangers Ruhaan (Kartik Aaryan) and Reet (Kiara Advani) forms into camaraderie. As fate has its plans, Ruhaan reaches the haunted haveli (mansion) left behind by the Thakur family many years ago, thanks to paranormal misadventures of Manjulika's ghost. What follows this is a crazy side and Ruhaan's attempt to save the family from Manjulika's ghost!

In his absolute new avatar and spooky cool swag, Kartik Aaryan delivers a decent performance. It's not easy to step into the shoes of an actor or take up a role where comparison is a given. Kartik gambles with the chances and scrapes through. Kiara Advani looks good on-screen but looking at her past impactful performances, she had nothing much to do in this film. Tabu is brilliant and in great form throughout the film. She completely steals the show and it's a treat to watch her.

Rajpal Yadav and Sanjay Mishra in pivotal roles add to the humour quotient of the film. Their impeccable comic timing manages to pump up the film's entertainment factor. Ashwini Kalsekar and Rajesh Sharma deliver in their respective roles.

Director Anees Bazmee ensures to add all the elements which make 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2' a popcorn entertainer for the cine-goers. It has drama, horror, comedy and even a little bit of romance. Whether the romance was impressive is debatable. 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2' is dragged through its first half but picks up in the second half. 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2''s title track is impressive, and Kartik adds his charisma to the song to own it up. He manages to carry it with grace and suaveness.

If the team would have trimmed the run and tightened the screenplay, the film could have scored higher and be extremely entertaining film. 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2' can easily sweep into your weekend watch list this summer. 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2', produced by Bhushan Kumar, Murad Khetani, Anjum Khetani, and Krishan Kumar under the banner of T-Series and Cine 1 Studios.
