Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 is Kartik’s first theatrical release after the coronavirus pandemic. The actor is currently celebrating the success of the film in Varanasi. On Tuesday evening, he took to Instagram to share a set of photos and videos. “Blessed,” he wrote as the caption of the post. He visited the Kashi Vishwanath temple to fulfil his vow. In one of the photos, the actor was seen attending the Ganga aarti. Kartik was accompanied Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 producer Bhushan Kumar.
The post received a lot of love from Kartik fans. “Sooo Proud of You ❤️ Keep Growing and Shining Always Superstar,” a fan wrote in the comment section.
While the audience seems to be showering the film with love, critics have shared their mixed opinions on the Anees Bazmee film.
The Indian Express’ critic Shalini Langer gave two stars to the film, which also features Tabu and Kiara Advani. In the review, she mentioned, “Don’t go expecting any light touches, or any hummable music like Part I. Apart from Monjulika’s white-faced, long-tressed, black-dressed look, there are repeated jokes at the expense of an overweight child and a hard-of-hearing pandit, casual disrespect towards an old woman who has just died, gross misuse of a donkey, and Roohan’s borderline sexism towards the other gender. The comic parts offer only temporary relief, particularly as the butt of jokes are almost always the same unfortunate four, who appear to be there for solely that purpose. And these are only funny because some very good actors are playing some of their worst roles here.”
On the work front, Kartik Aaryan is looking forward to the release of Shehzaada, which is a remake of Allu Arjun’s Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo.
