Director: Anees Bazmee
A haunted castle, a con artist pretending to talk to spirits, and a plot twist that keeps rewriting itself — Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 brings Anees Bazmee's horror-comedy franchise back for a 2024 outing led by Kartik Aaryan.
What is Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 about?
Ruhaan makes his living pretending to banish ghosts, charming worried families out of their money with theatrical rituals he doesn't believe in for a second. His newest job takes him to a crumbling castle where the staff swear something genuinely unexplainable moves through the halls after dark. As Ruhaan digs for the ordinary explanation he's used to finding, he instead uncovers a scheme involving a pair of priests whose intentions are far from holy. Vidya Balan and Madhuri Dixit bring rival energy to the castle's older generation, while Triptii Dimri complicates Ruhaan's investigation from the inside. The film leans hard into slapstick set pieces and jump scares in equal measure, treating its haunted-house mythology as a springboard for comic chaos rather than straight horror, and saving its biggest reveal for a finale that recontextualizes almost everything that came before it.
Cast & crew
Kartik Aaryan headlines as Ruhaan opposite Vidya Balan and Madhuri Dixit, with Triptii Dimri, Vijay Raaz, Rajpal Yadav, Sanjay Mishra and Ashwini Kalsekar rounding out the castle's cast of suspects and skeptics.
Context & significance
Released in 2024 under director Anees Bazmee, this is the third entry in the long-running Bhool Bhulaiyaa horror-comedy series, a franchise built around haunted-mansion setups, comic exorcism schemes and twist-heavy final acts rather than conventional scares. Each entry in the series has recast its leads while keeping the same basic formula, and this installment leans further into ensemble comedy than its predecessors did.
Where & how to watch
K-Time carries Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 with Persian dubbing, so the film's comic timing and twists play out in Farsi throughout. Streaming it requires a free K-Time account and login, though the title's page can be read without one. The platform is built Farsi-first for Persian-speaking audiences abroad, keeping navigation, search and audio-language switching in Persian from start to finish.
