Very few Hindi movies have a story that is the star of the movie. Bhool Bhulaiyya is one of that rare breed of Hindi movies where the story grips you from the beginning till the end, and doesn't disappoint at the end!
I will not give away the plot - I really want you to go and enjoy the movie - but here's a brief introduction...
An American-bred heir to the throne (the sexy Shiny Ahuja), and his young, beautiful wife (Vidya Balan), are on a long visit to India and insist on staying in their princely mansion, long neglected and avoided because of rumours of spirits who made it their abode decades back. The educated couple, of course, do not believe the rumours, and explore their mansion - but things suddenly take on a sinister twist. People are attacked, furniture goes crashing to the ground, voices are heard... is there truth in the rumour?
Akshaye Kumar, as Shiny's wierdo psychiatrist friend, makes an entry almost an hour into the film, and completely takes it over. Shiny is handsome, and a treat for his female friends. Vidya is beautiful as always, and along with her trademark love scene, proves that she can be an awesome actress, given the right role. She's good! The rest of the cast, the mansion, the cars - well, all I can say it's a beautiful setting that only adds to the aura and feel of the movie.
Not for the children, though - so keep your kiddies at home, and catch the movie - ideally, the late night show :)

I got to hear some bad reviews of this movie, but looks like it aint that bad.
oh, btw its Akshaye Kumar, not Akshaye Khanna.
Well, don't go with VERY HIGH expectations :) Maybe I was too frustrated with life and that played a role in me liking the movie :)
And yes, thanks for the correction on Akshaye's name - have corrected the post too :)
