New Delhi: The film industry and fans alike are buzzing following the release of the Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 trailer, which has left audiences utterly mesmerized and amplified its status as the year’s most anticipated film. This feverish excitement is undoubtedly justified as the trailer broke records, amassing over 155 million views within the first 24 hours of its release, making it the most-viewed trailer ever.
Adding to the film’s intrigue is a series of fascinating revelations, most notably that even the cast remains in the dark about the movie’s ending, as director Anees Bazmee has ingeniously crafted two distinct climaxes for Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3. In an insightful interview with India TV, Anees Bazmee disclosed, “People will be shocked, they’ll be like ‘oh my god!’ We have tried to make a good and beautiful film. To ensure that, we shot two climaxes, and even the production members don’t know which ending I’m going to use.”
Fans are thrilled to witness the return of Kartik Aaryan as Rooh Baba, joined by the original Manjulika, Vidya Balan, who promises to deliver electrifying duels and spectacular performances alongside newcomers and renowned actors like Triptii Dimri, Madhuri Dixit, and Rajpal Yadav. As excitement mounts, the director has cleverly managed to keep the film’s final act shrouded in secrecy. Only a select few, Bazmee and three others from the team, are aware of the authentic ending.
Bazmee recounted how he initially shot the concluding scene but later decided to film an alternative finale under the guise of needing a more fulfilling ending. As he relayed to India TV, “Only myself and three other team members know the actual ending. We shot two climaxes, and the team wasn’t even aware of why. Initially, we shot the final climax, but later I called the team again and said, ‘Mazza nahi aa raha hai, firse karenge’ (It’s not fun, let’s do it again). The team thought it was necessary, but in reality, it was just to keep the ending a secret from them.
.”
In a unique directorial approach to maintain this mystery, Bazmee omitted the last 15 pages of the script from the actors, ensuring not only the audience but also the cast remained in suspense. The filming of the climaxes occurred under tight security, with only a select group of crew members present.
The movie’s compelling narrative is bolstered by a stellar cast. Kartik Aaryan reprises his role as Rooh Baba from the acclaimed Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, promising to captivate audiences once again. Vidya Balan returns in her iconic role as Manjulika, while Madhuri Dixit joins the cast to add depth and vibrancy to the series’ already rich tapestry. Additionally, newcomers like Tripti Dimri are set to infuse fresh energy, while veteran comic actor Rajpal Yadav promises moments of laughter and levity.
Under the direction of Anees Bazmee and the production guidance of Bhushan Kumar, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 is poised to extend the beloved horror-comedy franchise’s legacy, blending spooky thrills with hearty laughter. The anticipation culminates with a grand release scheduled for November 1, 2024, coinciding with the Diwali festivities. Audiences can expect a unique blend of eerie suspense and comedic relief, making for an unforgettable cinematic experience.
The film’s complex and clandestine approach to its climax is a masterstroke, heightening anticipation not just with its thrilling plot but also with the unfolding of its narrative structure. Fans and film enthusiasts are urged to stay tuned for this cinematic spectacle that promises to keep them guessing until the very end—a perfect scenario for a spine-chilling yet uproarious Diwali celebration.
