EXCLUSIVE REVIEW BY HANUMANT BHANSALI

Co-produced by Studio 18 and B R Films, Bhootnath is the directorial debut of Vivek Sharma. The film stars the two biggest superstars of Hindi Film Industry. All the allegations and rumours about rivalry between Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan are proved incorrect amidst the professionalism shown by the two actors onscreen to excel in their roles.

Bhootnath comes across as a charismatic and endearing saga of friendship between a kid and a spirit. Shahrukh Khan and Juhi Chawla play a couple who move into their new house – the Nath Villa, in Goa, with their son Banku (Aman Siddqui). Unfortunately, a ghost Kailashnath (Amitabh Bachchan) awaits them in the house, who is not happy with his new companions.

Banku befriends the eerie spirit after the latter fails to scare the six year old kid. However, post-interval the story moves beyond the happy and funny moments to a more substantial twist where Kailashnath’s son decides to sell off the mansion.
