What a waste of my time!!!

Waste of time

Intense, gripping, stylish and poignant

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

srk in his short role was useless and could not save this movie. Juhi is humorous and nice in her role as a mother.Amitabh was OK in his role.The kid was cute but this movie is boring for adults. special effects/computer effects have been wasted.There is similarity to baghban story in parts of the father and son.This might be a nice movie for kids.Songs were lame.The son character was not very convincing. Rajpal yadev was silly with ghost playing tricks on him but i guess he suited his role.This movie has loopholes and u will notice once you see the full movie.The kid was chubby and I think he acted in baghban also. Amitabh with his unclean long nails look ugly.Do all ghosts not take bath or clean themselves everyday?Srk's back is shown most time when he talks on cellphone and looks very busy even in the movie.

The movie is about a man who becomes Ghost(Bhooth) after his death. This Ghost is so attached to his house that he doesn't let anyone live in it. One day, comes a little boy with his mother and father to live in the house. While the father is a sailor who goes away on his duty, the mother and the boy live in the house. One night this Ghost tries to haunt the kid(Banku), but Banku doesn't fear him, rather thinks of the ghost as an Angel. Banku and Ghost become friends, and their adventures are recorded in the further story. The movie generally received good reviews, and was a hit at the Box-Office, yet I feel that it was not given applauds it deserved.The story is well executed, and pace of the movie is even. Acting wise, Amitabh Bachchan comes again with a spot on performance, I didn't know that a Ghost character can be played so naturally. The small boy, does his part high great confidence and comes up with great performance. Other cast have less time in the movie, but they do their parts neatly. No songs, a plus point. Direction is good. Background score is good.Go for this movie, this won't disappoint you.

Kiddie films are so difficult to make, yet some people think it's easy Show a school, show a naughty child, show some forced emotional angles, some songs like MERA BUDDY and ready Show some emotional scenes like he falling off a staircaseHere Ravi Chopra go a step furtherShow a kiddish Bhoot, who instead of frightening the kid acts like a funny Bhoot, This was meant to be funny? There is some good chemistry between Bachchan and the child but later-on when the focus shifts to the melodramatic events the film gets so boringRavi Chopra doesn't know where to go, maybe he felt that he should put some melodrama to make the film look smart and appeal to the audiences of all ages, sadly it didn'tThe director gives a back story to the Bhoot of being a sad person whose Son didn't treat him well straight out of BAGHBAN and that ruins the story and also the Bhoot characterAmitabh acts well and is the best part of the film The Kid is also endearing Shahrukh Khan has few scenes, he has his moments but he looks too tired Juhi Chawla plays the modern day mother, who has an unbelievable sense of humor, she impresses in parts Rajpal does provide some funny scenes Priyanshu is good in a clichéd role

Bhootnath doesn't work primarily because the objective is not clear in the first place. It gets sandwiched between a children's move and social drama. Pity it doesn't justify both and falls flat and even 2hours seems a drag.To determine what makes it tick, the director should have done his homework well. Nevertheless, being a first timer it can be pardoned -but you missed a brilliant opportunity to strike it gold!.The pranks fall flat - it's an "infant's play" for the kids of today's generation. And the Bhoothnath's magic, I don't think it would even tickle a bone.The chemistry between Big B and Amaan is OK. Pity the story lets down and not giving scope to raise to a different level.Juhi:: Again the story is the culprit for not providing scope.SRK:: Surprisingly, his role and performance are justified to the "T".Raghuvir Yadav:: Why force him to reprise Kesto Mukhejee? Priyanshu:: The crocodile-tears were a bit over the top alright? Music:: Not worthy of being mentioned.CGI deserves a special mention.And Chopra Saab, let go your obsession for "Baghbaan". Not every time please! Aur bhi gam hain zamaane mein.....PS: Sequel, don't even think about it!
