Trailer
Okay, first things first—before diving into this review, I highly recommend you watch the trailer of The Bhootnii. It’ll give you a little taste of what’s in store—think eerie atmosphere, sudden jolts, and that suspense you just can’t escape. Trust me, it’ll get you hooked!
Plot Overview
So here’s the premise: The Bhootnii kicks off with a pretty basic idea—ghosts, haunts, and the usual supernatural chaos. But here’s the twist. Sanjay Dutt plays Baba, a mysterious character who knows far more than he lets on. The movie follows Shantanu (played by Sunny Singh) and his group of friends, who get caught up in a terrifying haunting. What starts as just a weird presence soon turns into a fight for survival as they try to unravel this sinister mystery.
I won’t spoil the plot, but imagine this: You’re with the group, and everything feels so real—like, you can almost feel the chills down your spine. That’s exactly how I felt while watching this film. The story pulls you in and doesn’t let go.


Review
Performance and Direction
Let me start with Sanjay Dutt. I’ve been a fan of his for ages, and seeing him in a role like Baba, someone who’s calm but seems to carry the weight of the world on his shoulders, was honestly awesome. Every time he spoke, I found myself leaning in, eager to know more about his mysterious character. There’s a depth to him here that I didn’t expect, and it adds so much to the film.
Then, Mouni Roy as Mohabbat? She nails it. She’s got this delicate balance of vulnerability and power in her role. At first, you’re not sure if she’s the one you should trust or if she’s part of the creepy stuff happening. And that’s exactly what makes her character so captivating. It’s that sense of uncertainty that keeps you wondering, “Is she the victim, or is she something else entirely?”


Sunny Singh, playing Shantanu, is really solid too. I was surprised at how emotionally invested I got in his journey. He’s the guy trying to make sense of everything, and his reactions feel real. There’s a lot of fear but also a ton of courage, and I was genuinely rooting for him and his friends as they tried to survive the madness.
Sidhaant Sachdev did a fantastic job directing this film. If there’s one thing I really appreciated, it’s the pacing.
Supporting Cast
The supporting cast—Palak Tiwari, Nick, and Aasif Khan—each bring something important to the story. They’re not just background characters. I especially liked how each one had their own reaction to what was happening. Some were skeptical, others were outright terrified, but they all played their part in adding to the tension and drama. Their interactions made the whole situation feel so much more real.


Final Opinion
The Bhootnii is a gem for horror fans who want more than just loud noises and jump scares. The performances from Sanjay Dutt, Mouni Roy, and the rest of the cast are solid, and the direction by Sidhaant Sachdev keeps the tension tight. If you love a good ghost story that mixes suspense, mystery, and just the right amount of creepy, this one will get you hooked.
Honestly, I went into this movie thinking it would be just another supernatural thriller, but I came out surprised at how much depth it had. There’s more to this story than just ghosts—there’s emotional weight, complex characters, and a plot that’ll keep you on edge.
