When I saw Virasat, I thought Priyadarshan is a good director, then he made Hera Pheri and people really loved it (it was actually good). Then he made 8 more Hera Pheri(Yeh Teraa Ghar Yeh Meraa Ghar, Hungama, Hulchul, Garam Masala, Malamaal Weekly, Chup Chup Ke, Bhagam Bhag and Dhol). I started thinking that Priyan can not do anything other than comedy of errors. This Friday I saw his latest release Bhool Bhulaiya. After his last 9 films everyone was expecting it to be a comedy of errors, with Akki in the film expectations were even higher. And this was one of the factors against this movie, but I take Priyan getting out of Hera Pheri mode as a good sign and now I am expecting another Virasat from him.
After so many takes on comedy, Priyan-Akki combo is back, but this time it's not a comedy (though there are some funny moments), it's horror. It's not a typical horror movie though, it tries to present a scientific approach to exorcism. I would have liked the movie a bit more, if Akki's entry was earlier, climax was a bit shorter, no song between Shiney and Vidya and better placement of Hare Rama song (it plays during end credits).
The treatment is new. Akki is top class, Rajpal's character is forced, Paresh Rawal is underutilized, Shiney Ahuja some times seems to be trying too hard, Amisha Patel is good for a change, Viday Balan has also played her part well. Other actors have done decent job. Dialogues could have been better, they are really weak sometimes. Out of two releases this weekend, this one is better choice.
