Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 stars Kartik Aaryan, Madhuri Dixit, Vidya Balan and Triptii Dimri celebrated the success of their latest horror comedy with a star-studded party.
“I just wanted to take a moment to say a heartfelt thank you for the amazing support and love you’ve given to Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3. Your enthusiasm, support and excitement have touched my heart and made this experience truly unforgettable. I am beyond thankful and blessed for each and every one of you,” wrote Madhuri on social media Wednesday, sharing glimpses from the celebration, also attended by her husband, Dr. Shriram Nene.
The montage features the Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 actors in stunning black ensembles. They cut a celebratory cake and recreate the hook step of the title track, sung by Pitbull, Diljit Dosanjh and Neeraj Shridhar. Kartik, Triptii, Vidya and Anees Bazmee also share their experiences of working with Madhuri.
Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 is set in Rakhtghat, a village in West Bengal where the ghost of Manjulika lies trapped in a mansion. A princess of the royal family, Manjulika was burned to death 200 years ago for killing her brother Devendranath, the crown prince. It is believed a member of the royal family will reincarnate to finish off Manjulika’s spirit. The current royals look upon Kartik, who reprises his role as Rooh Baba, as their saviour.
The film sparks sufficient intrigue with its two-Manjulika twist as both Vidya Balan and Madhuri Dixit deliver powerful performances. Triptii, on the other hand, plays Kartik’s romantic interest.
Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 was released theatrically on November 1. Directed by Anees Bazmee, the horror comedy has garnered approximately Rs 212 crore at the domestic box-office.
The original Bhool Bhulaiyaa film, released in 2007, focused on Avni Chaturvedi (Vidya), a woman grappling with dissociative identity disorder. The movie also starred Akshay Kumar, Shiney Ahuja, Ameesha Patel and Paresh Rawal in key roles. The next Bhool Bhulaiya movie, which featured Kiara Advani and Tabu alongside Kartik, revolved around an entrapped spirit seeking revenge.
