Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 struggles to live up to the franchise's legacy

Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 is all set to enchant the audience with its unique storyline comprising the star cast woven in the nostalgic song of Ami je Tomar by Shreya Ghosal. Overall, it's a good, entertaining movie with a surprising climax at the end.

The movie is a light-hearted comedy with a few spoofy scenes, jump scares and bits of drama. The movie presents the biggest mystery: who is the real Manjulika—Is it Mallika (Vidya Balan) or Mandira (Madhuri Dixit)—which comes out at the climax of the movie.

A conscientious pollster refused to publish exit poll results for the West Bengal polls because many voters had refused to answer the surveyors’ questions. This cannot be said about other such organisations, who pressed on regardless. Unsurprisingly, all exit polls except one, went completely off-track
