#BhoolBhulaiyaa3: OUTSTANDING. Entertainment ka bada dhamaka... Horror + Comedy + Terrific Suspense... #KartikAaryan [excellent] - #AneesBazmee combo hits it out of the park... #MadhuriDixit + #VidyaBalan wowsome.

Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 is thoroughly engaging and entertaining. Comedy is a tricky subject. The film resorts to cliché jokes and dramatics with characters like Chhote Pandit (Rajpal Yadav), Bade Pandit (Sanjay Mishra) and Panditain (Ashwini Kalsekar). They barely get some meat to chew onto. The scares are effective but never bone-chilling. It is enigmatic, mysterious and deceptive. Anees plays with the concept of deception pretty well with Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3.

Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 is a good festival entertainer worth watching. Had the first-half worked better, the film would have elevated itself to a higher ground. And will Manjulika be back for the fourth time ? Well, your guess is only as good as mine

Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 could be savored taste; for those wanting to see romance have Aaryan and Dimri, for those waiting to see the OG Manjulika have Balan at their service, for anyone enamored by Dixit, she brings back the memories of Devdas with her thunderous aura and nimble moves. And for those stepping in with zero expectations, may not be exactly doing a Bhool!

Kartik Aaryan is back as Rooh Baba in Anees Bazmee’s Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3. The movie also brings back Vidya Balan into the horror-comedy franchise as she reprises the role of Manjullika. Joining her this time is Madhuri Dixit Nene, who also portrays the aforementioned character. For fans of Bhool Bhool Bhulaiyaa 1 and 2, they might be in for a ride this time too. However, for those who didn’t enjoy Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, the latest installment may not be that impressive either.

Coming to Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, this franchise has always found its audience. Whether it was the original starring Akshay Kumar and Vidya Balan, or the second with Kartik Aaryan, Kiara Advani and Tabu in double roles - it got appreciation. Now is the third time and we must say, the makers must be given credit for getting Vidya Balan and Madhuri Dixit act out together in this way.

BB3 has its share of highs and lows but it delivers what you expect from a Diwali family entertainer. Make sure you guard the climax for others to enjoy the film, too.

Rating Score -> 4/5
Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 is full of twists and has nothing to do with its previous editions. The story of this film is completely different from its predecessors but revolves around Manjulika as the main antagonist. If you think Anees Bazmee has brought a simple horror comedy on the big screen with a slight humour, then this is not the case this time. In the climax, the film will surely surprise you with a major twist.

A gleefully hammy Madhuri and Vidya's volley of death stares and evil laughs engage in a ruthless glamorous tug of war in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3,

Rating Score -> 2.5/5
Vidya Balan And Madhuri Dixit Are Never Out Of Step With The Spirit Of The Film. Kartik Aaryan's star turn is a repeat act that promises a box-office outcome that could be on par with what Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 yielded.

Madhuri Dixit and Vidya Balan are underutilised in this drab horror comedy. Kartik Aaryan is alive to the situational humour but director Anees Bazmee falters between sticking to stereotypes and taking a progressive step
12. Indian Express -
Rating Score -> 1.5/5
Lazy, formulaic writing weighs heavily on Kartik Aaryan film. Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 suffers from the same things that Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 did: stereotypes instead of characters, forced humour which refuses to land, and tasteless lines bordering on the risible.
13. Hindustan Times -
Rating Score -> n/a
The film simply tries to sell a brand through nostalgia, using a new(er) rendition of Ami Je Tomar and Vidya Balan. But it falls flat because the film is structured like a gag reel with a twist at the end. Yes, the twist is good, but did we have to suffer for two hours for it? Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 packs a powerful message, but one that deserved a better film.
14. Komal Nahta -
Rating Score -> n/a
Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 is too ordinary and a bit too convoluted to be appreciated much by the audience. In its favour are brand ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa’, two (old) songs, the star cast and a very good release period because of the Diwali festival. It will do fair business.
