Bhoot Returns (2012) - Movie Review


It seems Bollywood is on the track of Hollywood which has again caught flu of making horror adventures. The recent harvest of Horror movies is turning out to be a round of big ridicule. by getting inspired such situation, Ram Gopal Varma intends to freeze your blood with horror of his 2003 super success horror film Bhoot’s sequel. The sequel is releasing soon with a new title ‘Bhoot Returns’. Will it freeze your blood and leave you bite your nails or not? Let’s review the movie. 
Bhoot Returns circles around a duplex bungalow whereas ‘Bhoot’ scared us with nail biting horror in an apartment. JD Chakravorthy is playing Tarun in Bhoot Returns who finalizes an agreement of a house at low price. Manisha Koirala is Tarun’s wife in Bhoot Returns who is really fishy about deal. She is anxious to find out the reason behind sell of a duplex bungalow at really low price by the seller.
Tarun does not bother about it and soon shifts to his new bungalow along with his family. In a while, Madhu Shalini who is playing Tarun’s sister also starts living with them. 
Soon Manisha finds her misgivings are true when some unusual things start happening with her family. She becomes shocked when her daughter (played by Alayana Sharma) reveals about her unreal friend. In a very short time, the unreal friend takes over everything. 

Bhoot Returns has several scenes where filmmaker has used 3D techniques to make it real horror and instigate chills with a variety of effects. However, Ram Gopal Varma’s Bhoot Returns instead of scaring people off, gives them multiple reasons to laugh quietly and roll with laughter. Camera work is not good at all and viewers see the characters through the ceiling fan, behind the chairs and sofas. The background score conversely is loud that causes a massive headache.

The story of Bhoot Returns has no spark of freshness and, it seems the same ordinary story.  The execution of the movie is ordinary and has no freshness.  Amazingly, Bhoot Return has a similar story to a horror movie ‘Vaastu Shastra’ which was another presentation of Ram Gopal Varma.

Manisha Koirala is the only actor in the movie who deserves to be praised.  She has done a great job. Rest actors are just to fill the characters of the story.
To sum up, Ram Gopal Varma is failed to produce any horror or excitement with the movie. Bhoot Returns, indeed, is a waste to watch.
