RATING: 4/5
Director Nitesh Tiwari is back with the sequel to the likeable Bhoothnath by adding an even better one. Catering to not only young audiences but also to adults, it is indeed a fitting and perfect extension to the already loved good-ghost uncle story. Mr. Bachchan, as always, has done a fantastic job and has also grooved to the peppy numbers Party Toh Banti Hai and Come, party with The Bhoothnath much to the audience’s delight.
With election time rounding up, I couldn’t imagine a better entertaining wake-up call than this movie. Bhoothnath’s transition of scaring a small group of kids by showing them ugly faces to describing them the brutal truths of reality is frankly, pure genius. The movie brings them face to face with the consequences of the acts of bribing and masking crimes which they perform knowingly/unknowingly; a superb route to illuminate a young audience.
Parth Bhalerao as Akhrot is really good for a debutant and has lived up to his character, be it the mawaali talk or the soft hearted son. The film – as one would expect – is filled with entertainment, emotions and most importantly, awareness. The NOTA option has urged confused voters to at least make a voters ID and show their loss in confidence in any of the candidates and bringing it to the government’s notice.
The scriptwriter has brilliantly urged the audience to do so with the help of Mr. Bachchan’s skills, capped off by a rousing speech in which we are made to realize that when there are two candidates and one has 19 charges on him while the other only 8, we (are forced to) vote for the guy with 8 charges simply because he’s the “lesser of the two evils”.
Boman Irani has portrayed the role of politician Bhau flawlessly. The movie captures a few funny truths as well; women gossip be it on heaven or earth, one liners like “dialogue hit to picture hit, magar jab gaana hit to picture superhit!”, and whatnot.
To all the adults reading this, our future depends on your vote. I urge you to go watch this film not for the sake of it, but to make the right decision (or at least, make a voter’s ID first). It won’t just benefit your child and the county, but also help in the overall upliftment of some poor people who depend on the politicians and the government to help them lead better lives.
With emotions, politics and fun, I don’t think I need to tell you what to add in your to-do list this weekend.
A must watch.
