Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 revolves around the story of Ruhan (Aaryan) who becomes caught up in the old secrets that haunt the ancestral home of Reet (Kiara Advani). What follows is a rollercoaster ride of ghosts, comedy and witty one-liners.
The Anees Bazmee directorial is a standalone sequel to the 2007 hit Bhool Bhulaiyaa, which starred Akshay Kumar, Vidya Balan, Paresh Rawal, Shiney Ahuja and Ameesha Patel in pivotal roles.
Barring some films like Vivek Agnihotri’s The Kashmir Files and Alia Bhatt’s Gangubai Kathiawadi, the Hindi film industry is going through a lean patch, with several highly anticipated movies like Ranveer Singh’s Jayeshbhai Jordaar, Shahid Kapoor’s Jersey and Tiger Shroff’s Heropanti 2 underperforming at the box-office.
