Re: Bhool bhullaiya...
This movie is the remanke of a Malyaman movie Manichitrathazhu which is one of the best in Kerala cinema. Directed by Fazil and I think Priyan assisted it. It was made 13 years ago and I would say it ranks up to the best in Hollywood. Beleive me I would not say this out of some bias but I cannot see any bollywood movie coming to close that even now. The reason is great direction from Fazil, great music and top-class acting (Shobhana and Mohanlal, Suresh Gopi etc). Shobhana went on to win the National award and you cannot beat Mohanlal in acting (he is a ace and a natural). The music blended and included great ragas. The script is its basic strength. I was just mesmerised when I saw Manichitrathazhu
And that is why it has being remade in four languages (Kannada, Tamil, Telugu and now Hindi) and became hit in every language.
The Hindi version Bhool Buliya is not a bad remake and I must say that the director retained the original version. The cinematography is brilliant.
But as I said the original had everything going for it. But still I would rate the hindi version 3 out of 5 and if you have not seen the original then it is a must see movie.
The sad part: The original's writer, Madhu Muttam, lives almost in obscurity and that is a shame for Indian Cinema.
