Hind Movie Review : Bhoothnath
Directorial debut for Vivek Sharma. Making a movie based on uncommon tale of bonding between a spirit and a child and that too with top notch stars includes names of Amitach Bachchan and Shahrukh Khan, both are the icons of Indian Cinema, is no less than a courage.
Movie is about a family and encounter of Ghost with one member of that family ie. Banku (Aman Siddiqui), the child of two ie. Juhi Chawla and Shahrukh khan. The family took a mansion on rent in Goa which is said to be haunted. As the family moves in, the father ie. Shahrukh moves away for work and now its only mother (Juhi) and Banku (Aman Siddiqui) in the house.
However, the Boothnath (Amitabh Bachchan) tries every trick to scare the child but he did not get affected. He, when asks his mother about existence of Bhoot (Ghosts) then she just denies and this makes child impossible to believe that he is actually a Ghost ie. Bhoothnath.
As the movie moves on, we see various aspect which includes comedy and emotions too, the first half is about the Kid and the Ghost including various funny ecounter like in School with principal but the second half moves start going to flashbacks of Boothnaath and starts involving fest of emotions. To add to this, Boothnaath's son from USA decides to sell off the mansion. Overall, movie is fun to watch, both for kids and elder (though a little bit more fun for kids).
The debuting director Vivek Sharma starts movie with a bit scary atmosphere but actually instantly you will realize that movie is more about fun and the bond between the KID and the Ghost. It is clear that director focused on presentation, the way presented this simple story is interesting and is the one of the positive part of the movie.
Rest Amitabh Bachchan, whom we have seen in variety of roles, creates a good atmosphere in this role too as a Ghost. His performance is again to surprise you that how much caliber Mr. Amitabh still has. The child ie. Aman is outstanding. He is pretty comfortable and this all goes to the director who was able to extract best from the child.
Juhi Chawla looks like all time fit now. Did nice role. Shahrukh Khan, having around 20-25 minute roll in the movie has done his part without any flaws.
However, I found soundtrack hindering the flaw of movie and they are not really impressive too. Rajpal Yadav as drunken is not much impressive, its just OK and there wasn't much scope for him. Satish Shah, is good as he always in such roles.
Lastly, a good movie to go with family.
I rate it as Good movie .
