I have not seen the movie. After reading so many good comments , decided now to go to the theatre for the last show(with my kids.)probably we will get the ticket)
BHOOTNATH, a wonderful film to watch, it really ridiculous to see that rediff%u201Ds Reviews. This Movie is must to watch not only by Childrens but for the elders also, it covey%u2019s a beautiful message for the older parents who are left alone by the childrens. It deserves a good clause of Clapping. B R Camps had done a nice job. Amitabh and Siddiqui are excellent. This will be a great hit and will create a Box office History for the best collection by any Children%u2019s movie. Much better than any other Children%u2019s Movie realeases in Bollyword till date.
Rediff is quite big Name, they should change there review team who had given two star to Bhootnath. I had watched this Movie, and as per me and my childrens, it was a wonderfull experience, as may be after a long we had watched such a wonderfull movie. As per me and my Child who is 11 yrs old this deserves 4.5 STARS. Little Advice to Reddif people to look into it seriously.

You forget most films the moment you step out of the cineplex. But there're films that remain etched in your memory for their simplicity. BHOOTHNATH is one of those films. Go for it!
This is a story of a seven-year-old naughty yet innocent boy, who unknowingly turns a foe into a friend. This is a story of Banku [Aman Siddiqui] and his friend, Kailash Nath aka Bhoothnath [Amitabh Bachchan].
Banku's family [SRK, Juhi Chawla] comes to live in a mansion in Goa, considered haunted after the demise of the patriarch of the family. The spirit uses every rule in the book to scare the kid, but the kid is unaffected by it all. Slowly, a bond develops between the two. The story takes a turn when Kailash Nath's son [Priyanshu] decides to sell off the mansion.
Debutante director Vivek Sharma's fundas are clear. Emphasize on substance, not as much on style. 15 minutes into the film and you know that the director doesn't believe in Russian angles or fancy camera wizardry to create the spooky effect. Sure, BHOOTHNATH begins as a spooky fare, but changes lanes the moment the spirit and the kid become buddies.
For most parts, BHOOTHNATH is aimed at the kids. The portions in the classroom/school, the interaction with the school principal [Satish Shah], the game of one-upmanship between the kids brings the kid out of you.
Vivek Sharma reserves the best during the intermission point as also the climax. The unanticipated accident minutes before the intermission and the emotional mome
I knew it.. My guess was right. I knew it the moment Tashan got 3 stars that Bhootnath will get 2 or 1. Anyways, guys, if we leave a psycho in a room alone and do not give reviews about his review (good or bad) do you think he will eventually go away? I do get a sense that Raja Sen is doing this deliberately to tease the readers. Now, rediff and him both do not understand that this is harmful to their careers. I am just trying to find out ways to put this guy out of "job".
This is the review by taran adarsh & he have given 4 stars to the same film so now u decide : Teaming two superstars [Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan] in your directorial debut is as good as impossible. Opting for a novel story -- the relationship between a spirit and a mortal -- is an equally big challenge. Really, it requires courage to make a film that defies the stereotype, yet is seeped in emotions that work with the Indian junta. Vivek Sharma's first outing BHOOTHNATH is a simple story, well told and that's why it works!
Aimed at kids between 6 and 60, BHOOTHNATH relies on the belief that has been passed on to us through generations: Aatma amar hain.
Write your own movie review of Bhoothnath Let's get a few things straight at the very outset. BHOOTHNATH is not an eerie experience [it does have a few moments though]. It's more of a kiddie film with a strong undercurrent of emotions. In fact, the bonding between the spirit and the kid makes you smile, even laugh at times and most importantly, makes you moist-eyed at two vital points of this 2.08 hour film.
One of the prime reasons why BHOOTHNATH works, besides the above-mentioned reasons, is due to the right casting. The story rests on two shoulders -- the experienced [Bachchan] and the raw talent [Aman Siddiqui] -- and both shoulder the responsibility beautifully, both compliment each other wonderfully well and make it a must-see experience.
