Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2: Audience and critic reviews peg Anees Bazmee film as good family entertainer

Mumbai: “Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2” has finally hit theatres, and the critical and audience reception so far have been rather mixed. While reviewers have praised the movie for the respect it has for its blockbuster predecessor as well as director Anees Bazmee's command over comedy, the movie's lack of the horror element and its usage of a more predictable and standard Bollywood formula have been criticized. In summary, the movie has failed to live up to its predecessor though so far it does not seem to have disappointed audiences as the movie has been billed as a good fun time family entertainer even if it is not anything groundbreaking.   Actor Kartik Aaryan and Tabu have however received significant praise for their performances. Furthermore, the movie may become Kartik Aaryan's second highest grossing performance behind “Love Aaj Kal”.   On the box office, analysts have predicted double digit openings for the movie due to its family entertainment value and its “paisa vaso...
