Synopsis

Bhoot Police

Two brothers, Vibhooti "Vibhu" Vaidya (Saif Ali Khan) and Chiraunji "Chiku" Vaidya (Arjun Kapoor), run a fake exorcism business, conning people by exploiting their superstitions. They arrive in a village in Rajasthan to "exorcise" a girl, but Vibhooti discovers that she is pretending to be possessed to avoid an arranged marriage. They help her by staging a fake exorcism. Later, at a Tantric fair, Chiraunji deciphers an ancient book that belonged to their father, Umedji Vaidya a.k.a. Ullat Baba (Saurabh Sachdeva), a legendary exorcist. While trying to escape from Inspector Chedilal (Javed Jaffrey), they meet Maya "Mayu" Kulbhushan (Yami Gautam), who seeks their help with a supernatural problem in Dharamshala. Maya explains that 27 years earlier, their father banished a malevolent spirit, the Kichkandi (Kalsang Dolma), from her family's tea estate. Now, the Kichkandi has returned and is terrorising the workers. Despite Vibhooti's scepticism, they investigate and learn about the spirit's tragic past. Vibhooti accidentally releases the Kichkandi, leading to Maya's possession. After initially planning to fake another exorcism, Vibhooti realises that the ghost is real. The brothers discover that the Kichkandi is searching for her daughter, Titli Meena (Youngykar Dolma), a ghost Vibhooti had encountered earlier. With their father's knowledge, they reunite the mother and daughter, freeing their spirits.

Bollywood Hungama

Pavan Kirpalani's story is novel. It gives a déjà vu of STREE [2018] and ROOHI [2021] as BHOOT POLICE is also a horror comedy. But unlike the other two films, BHOOT POLICE focuses on ghostbusters and that gives a unique touch. Pavan Kirpalani, Pooja Ladha Surti and Sumit Batheja's screenplay (additional screenplay by Anuvab Pal and Devashish Makhija) is entertaining. The characters are very well fleshed out and the balance between horror and comedy is well maintained. A few jump scares do remind one of Hollywood horror flicks though. On the flipside, the first half is alright and it's only from the intermission point that the film becomes intriguing. A few developments are bewildering. The track of Inspector Cheddi Singh (Jaaved Jaaferi), meanwhile, is far from funny.
