Negative
Points
The over emphasis on the voting in the second half makes “Bhoothnath Returns” dull and wearisome. The length of 160 minutes is also too long to keep the audiences interested. And, some of the sequences cross the border which separates acceptable yet silly plot elements from the sheer illogical ones.

Verdict
“Bhoothnath Returns” is a entertaining movie with some strong individual performances. Though, the movie has some illogical elements which are hard to digest, but then which Bollywood movie is complete without them.
