[Bhoothnath is] a well-made film.

The Times (UK)

With some witty special effects and the seasoned performances of the A-list stars, Bhoothnath works best when it focuses on the spooky antics between ghost and humans.

Georgia Straight

Ultimately, the film goes off-track and into the realm of serious melodrama, and loses the audience.

Film Journal International

Bhoothnath (Ghost Lord) has all the hallmarks of wacky family comedies the world over, although with some admirably dark and serious spots as well.

TV Guide

Bhoothnath never finds a comfortable balance between broad comedy and the bittersweet relationship between Nath and Banku, each of whom fills a void in the other's existence.

Rated: 2/4

If you can look past the children focused humor, Bhoothnath is actually a really well written script with compelling characters and scenarios

Really nice movie. First half is a bit kiddish, but still nice and comical (well, kids are the first target audience, after all). However, the second half is terrific and has some pretty deep and poignant scenes, especially towards the end.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars
