Movie Review: Bhoothnath

Banner: B R Films
Producer: Ravi Chopra
Director: Vivek Sharma
Star Cast: Amitabh Bachchan, Juhi Chawla, Shahrukh Khan, Aman Siddiqui, Priyanshu Chatterjee, Rajpal Yadav, Satish Shah
Music Director: Vishal Dadlani, Shekhar Ravjiani, Salim Merchant, Sulaiman Merchant

The movie “Boothnath” is aimed at children audience on vacation. The movie is about a friendly spirit, family generations, school pranks and relationships. The script of the movie is clear and performance of Amitabh Bachchan is extremely perfect. Though the film shows Ghosts, it is not a horror movie and it just tries to get spirituality in theme.

The film is directorial debut of Vivek Sharma and the initial part of the movie depicts the little kid Aman Siddiqui playing pranks on people around him and the last hour has a few emotional moments. The kid actor Aman Siddiqui never at a point in the film gets weak in performance and matches his co-stars well.

The story of the film is about Banku, who has a ghost friend, Kailash Nath that is Bhoothnath .Banku comes to a house in Goa to live with his mummy and the house is considered to be a place full of ghosts who drives away people from the place.

The ghost uses all tricks to scare Banku but Banku remains unaffected and with Banku the ghost starts developing a bond .Both Banku and Boothnath play pranks on Banku’s friends and school mates. One day the owner of the house Priyanshu, who is Banku’s father and son of Kailash Nath, plans to sell the house.
The cinematography and script are almost predictable; there is nothing new in the two section of the movie. The music is a drawback for the otherwise well made movie .The performance of Aman Siddiqui, Amitabh Bachchan, Juhi Chawla and Priyanshu are impressive .Rajpal Yadav has less scope in the movie.

The movie will get kids audience coming with their families to the theaters in the summer vacations. The movie doesn’t suit the tastes of youngsters or college goers and will perform average on box-office.

Rating: 7/10
