The Bhootnii movie review: Sanjay Dutt & Mouni Roy anchor this spooky laugh-fest with Sunny Singh, Palak Tiwari

Star cast: Sanjay Dutt, Sunny Singh, Mouni Roy, Palak Tiwari, Nickunj Sharma (BeYouNick), Aasif Khan

Director: Sidhaant Sachdev

In recent years, the horror-comedy genre has worked wonders at the box office. After films like Stree, Munjya and Stree 2, Sanjay Dutt has arrived as a ghost hunter in Sidhaant Sachdev’s The Bhootnii. While the promotional material has managed to garner buzz among the audience, does it turn out to be an entertaining affair? Let’s find out…

The narration of the movie starts at Vincent College situated in Delhi, where students and other people worship the ‘Virgin Tree’ on Valentine’s Day in their premise by keeping photos of their partners as they believe, this will make them reach their true love.

Shantanu (Sunny Singh) is devastated as his girlfriend dumped him for a rich boy on Valentine’s Day and in the night he is drunk and agitated and starts cursing the ‘Virgin Tree’. However, due to rain, he slips and reaches another tree, behind the Virgin one, and it is deserted and haunted by a soul named Mohabbat (Mouni Roy).

Thinking he is still in front of the ‘Virgin Tree’, Shantanu asks for true love from the abandoned tree and the haunted soul Mohabbat now takes human form to be with Shantanu.

There is also a mysterious thing happening in the college as 4 students in years have attempted suicide on Valentine’s Day and died on Chhoti Holi, with the latest one being in 2025.

To observe and analyse the scenario, the college appoints its alumni BA.BA aka Krishna Tripathi (Sanjay Dutt), the ghost hunter. As Shantanu and Krishna find that Mohabbat is actually a soul, they now want to find the backstory about Mohabbat and her incomplete wish.

Despite being a horror-comedy, The Bhootnii has a subtle emotional backstory which strikes a chord with the audience. The dialogues including some of the meta jokes thus make you laugh at regular intervals.

Talking about the performances, Sanjay Dutt oozes swag with his persona as the ghost hunter while Mouni’s charismatic screen presence makes a place in your heart. Sunny Singh and Palak Tiwari put their best foot forward as their relationship will find relevance among the current generation. On the other hand, Nickunj Sharma (BeYouNick) and Aasif Khan’s camaraderie reminds you of your good old college days with your friends.

On the whole, The Bhootnii works well because of its narrative and novelty.

Rating: 3 (out of 5 stars)
