Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 is the third installment of the hit horror-comedy franchise Bhool Bhulaiyaa which released in 2007 starring Akshay Kumar, Vidya Balan Now, after 17 years Vidya made her comeback to the franchise reprising her role as Manjulika. Madhuri Dixit has made a new entry to the franchise along with Triptii.
Directed by Anees Bazmee, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 continues the story of the iconic haunted mansion, blending spine-tingling horror with doses of comedy.

The film’s success is seen as a triumph for the Hindi film industry.
