Rating: *1/2 (1.5 out of 5)
There is practically nothing new to look forward to in Bhoot and Friends. To all those parents who have not yet taken their children to the theaters playing this children’s film, please do not bother to visit any theater. A trip to the park will keep your child happier! Bhoot and Friends comes with the similar story and screenplay that characterizes a children’s film in India. In fact the entire film bears an uncanny resemblance to an earlier release Bhoot Uncle, thus making the film all the more predictable.
Bhoot and Friends centers on a group of kids who chance upon the trail of a treasure while holidaying. Their search for the treasure makes the kids cross paths with a man who apparently keeps people hostage until that treasure lands into his hands. Watching over them is a spirit or bhoot played by Jackie Shroff. Does that remind you of Bhoot Uncle?
Apparently, yes! Jackie Shroff is the only entity who is aware of the real location of the treasure. Will he help the children in their search? For the answer you will have to visit the theater, well, if you are still interested! The only positive thing in the entire film is the animated sequences towards the first half.
