Samannay Ambaly This movie is a masterpiece. Combining a unique concept of ghost with politics, this movie stands out from all of rest freaky horror movies. Amitabh Bachchan stars as the friendly ghost who takes on himself the task to make this world a better place to live. Backed up with good music and humor, the movie definitely scores well ahead. It explores the concept of dirty politics and the condition of Indian government and also motivates the common man to do good and rise up for his country. The plot of the movie is unique and also funny on the same note. Amitabh Bachchan and Boman Irani as well as the little kid have given their best performances. Do watch this movie, not only for AB, but also to get motivated and rise up.

rahuljonathan-nair The film's good bits, however, often feel squashed under the weight of its melodrama and its bloated running time of 2 hours and 35 minutes. There is some lofty sermonizing by at least two different characters, and an over-manipulative song-montage of abject poverty that attempts to squeeze a lump out of your throat. Despite the uneven writing, the film works because it has heart. While the first half is breezy, with several pleasurable moments and witty one-liners laced into the proceedings, the film does a U-turn in the post-interval portions. The goings-on, all of a sudden, turn serious, while the humor goes missing. On the whole, BHOOTHNATH RETURNS is made with noble intentions and the message it conveys resonates in the second hour, although those looking for entertainment may find it lacking in the second half. Watch it for some wonderful moments and superior performances by Bachchan Sr., Boman Irani and the child artist Parth Bhalerao.

arunav-sanyal91 While primarily the movie has a documentary like feel to it, the movie isn't a documentary but rather a social commentary about the current political scenario of India.Some good points:-1. Excellent acting by the entire cast 2. Good theme and intent of storySome bad points:-1. Incredibly long and stretched. They could have wrapped up the entire movie in 90 minutes. Sometimes repetitive and boring 2. Trying to be funny but failing miserably 3. No connection whatsover with the previous movie. This cannot be a sequel, its an entirely separate movie.

KabirKhullar This film takes the story forward, Amitabh Bachchan was sent back to earth to regain his pride and respect but after seeing the corruption and mismanagement he actually end up contesting for elections. The story of the film is well written and executed.Performance wise, Amitabh Bachchan is at his best, before watching this film, I didn't know that a ghost character can be so loving and caring. The small boy has certainly proved his acting skills, from dialogue delivery to expression, he looks really promising. Well the third lead does not need any introduction, Boman Irani did it again. I believe he is one actor in the industry who can make you like an antagonist of a film. Well a film can only be successful if everybody gives their best to it and that's what happens in Bhootnath Returns. From Amitabh Bachchan to Boman Irani to director to Cinematographer, everybody has done their part wonderfully.It is a must watch!!!!!!
