Movie:Bhoothnath Returns Rating: 4.5/5Amitabh Bachchan sir is known for his great performance in various movies, as well as new subjects in his movies. Same with his this film Bhoothnath Returns, which has a good message for all, as well as entertainment too!The performances by all actors are great. Especially the boy Parth Bhalerao, who gives the best one of all. Boman Irani too is entertaining with his bone ticking comedy. The music is good. The vfx is great. The film is good from the beginning to the end. It can be said that if you want to witness the rise of new cinema, then Bhoothnath Returns is one such movie.On the whole, Bhoothnath Returns gives some hope for a better cinema, as well as a smile on the viewer's face.

I liked this film. My son - who was very excited to see it because he LOVED Bhoothnath - hated it. He would only give it one star. Here's why.It's not funny. This is a political film. It's not a children's film. Sure, it was promoted as a children's film. My son (who was 8 when this released) was hoping to see it in the theaters(which I'm glad we didn't as he couldn't sit through it - it was that boring for him). The problem is, this is most definitely NOT a children's film. This isn't to say there is anything in the movie a child shouldn't see, it's just that the original Bhoothnath was filled with slapstick and a very touching relationship between the boy and the ghost.This movie is modern Indian political commentary wrapped around a beloved character/actor, which kind of ruins the character. Now - the adult in me - liked the film. There is nothing not to like about Amitabh playing a ghost, even if the ghost becomes a politician. The plot was interesting, but engaging in an intellectual way, rather than an emotional way. I really don't think you can understand the 2014 Indian election of Modi if you haven't see this movie. Because - this movie - probably had an impact on that election. It certainly impact Bollywood's discussion about the importance of voting in the election. So, if you are interested in understanding what the heck is going on in Indian politics, this movie is worth watching.If you want to see another Bhoothnath movie - this one will seriously disappoint you.

Bhoothnath Returns is a sequel to Bhoothnath. It got the right name Bhoothnath Returns, as Amitabh Bachchan (as Bhoot) goes to Bhoot world and see everybody laughs at him not to scare people on Earth. He will be sent back to earth to redeem himself. In his way back to Earth Bhoothnath lands in Dharavi, where he will be stunned by Parth (as akhrot) a kid who can see him and they become buddies. As the story grabs the pace, it becomes more interesting. Bhoothnath stand to contest against Boman Irani (as Bhau) a well known corrupt politician, who wants to stop bhoothnath to contest against him. Bhoothnath Returns came up with a great message to the world is to vote for your candidate. Ranbir Kapoor and Shah Rukh Khan gave their special appearance to promote Election Campaign. Highlight and pick of the movie is Story, Star Cast, Music, Beautiful Execution and Fun Element. For Me it's Entertainment and complete fun. Go watch it !!!

What I liked in the film is its well connected sequences. Each sequence seems to be well rehearsed and acted. Each actor in any frame seems to have given his/her best. They all seem so convincing. You seems to be grinning and smiling all the time and suddenly its time to introspect. The political scenario is captured without its repetitiveness, contrary to other films. No doubt a simple story but told with an honesty that entertains. If one remembers Hugo, the hugely successful 3Dfilm that won tons of awards, please just try to compare. This one is a lot simpler and better....but may not get awards being an Indian film....Some international politics. The Great Bachchan delivers yet another masterpiece. Go and watch the film at least twice---Sharadraj
