The Bhootnii Review :-
Horror-comedy can be a difficult genre to master, but films like the Stree universe have shown its potential. Writer-director Sidhaant Sachdeva takes a shot at something similar, with mixed results. The story follows Shantanu (Sunny Singh) and his roommates, Sahil (Beyounick) and Nasir (Aasif Khan), at St. Vincent’s College in Delhi, where the Virgin Tree is haunted by Mohabbat (Mouni Roy), a spirit who awakens every Valentine’s Day in search of true love—but claims souls on Holika Dahan. No one knows her identity or the dark reason behind her hauntings. As students experience hallucinations, epileptic seizures, and even suicides, tension rises. The college calls in Baba (Sanjay Dutt), a para-physicist with an arsenal of quirky gadgets, to uncover the truth and banish the spirit once and for all.
Sachdev and Vankush Arora’s story doesn’t break new ground, though Santhosh Thundiyil’s cinematography occasionally adds a touch of atmosphere. Unfortunately, the narrative is plagued by inconsistencies. When Mohabbat takes human form to seduce Shantanu, she’s always by his side, but once her true ghostly identity is revealed, she inexplicably disappears for hours—conveniently giving Baba the time he needs to work his magic. While some scenes hold potential, the over-the-top VFX and Mohabbat’s lackluster makeup effects diminish the overall impact.
The film falls short in delivering the horror it promises, though the comedic elements help soften its flaws. Sunny Singh, Nikunj Lotia, and Aasif Khan provide some laughs with their amusing one-liners and enjoyable camaraderie. However, their characterizations feel exaggerated and outdated—Sahil is obsessed with finding a girlfriend, while Nasir is a wannabe poet who constantly speaks in Urdu. The film includes a few self-referential nods, referencing Mouni Roy’s Naagin, Sanjay Dutt’s Munna Bhai M.B.B.S., and Stree. Sanjay Dutt plays Baba, a St. Vincent alumnus with a double degree (BA+BA, get it?), fitting the role well and delivering a few humorous lines. His backstory, portrayed by Navneet Malik, ties him to Mohabbat but feels forced, making the climax predictable and clichéd. Mouni Roy and Palak Tiwari play their roles competently, though Tiwari’s character could have been better fleshed out.

Final Thought
Despite its occasional humor, The Bhootnii falters with inconsistent storytelling, lackluster horror, and predictable twists. It’s one you can easily skip without missing much.
