Bhoothnath (Devanagari: भूतनाथ, Urdu: بھوت ناتھ, translation: "Lord of Ghosts") is a Bollywood film starring Amitabh Bachchan and Juhi Chawla with Shahrukh Khan, Aman Siddiqui and Priyanshu Chatterjee. It is produced by Ravi Chopra and directed by Vivek Sharma.
The story is about the relationship between a deceased oldman (played by Amitabh Bachchan) and a boy called Banku. The ghost is named Bhoothnath by Banku. Juhi Chawla plays the boy's mother and Shahrukh Khan is her husband. They come to live at Bhoothnath's old home, Nath Villa. Banku calls the ghost Angel instead of Bhooth, and the two become friends. Priyanshu plays Amitabh’s son in Ravi Chopra’s Bhoothnath. The film began shooting on October 18, 2006 and released worldwide on May 9, 2008.[1]
Trivia
- BR Chopra wanted to make a film called Ek Aur Masiha with Amitabh Bachchan, Shahrukh Khan, and Juhi Chawla in the late '90s but the film was never made.
- Adesh Srivastav, Anu Malik, and A.R Rehman were approached to compose the films music but opted out for unknown reasons. So project went to Vishal-Shekhar to compose the music of the film.
- Tanmay Chaturvedi and Aamir Haafiz, who are participants in Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Little Champs 08 as well as Mussarat Abbas from Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Challenge 2007 have all sung a song in this film
Story
‘Bhoothnath’ tells the story of a ghost inside a swanky, neglected, uninhabited house in Goa. The ghost named Kedarnath is in limbo, and he won’t let anyone live inside the house, Nath Villa, to which his fond memories are attached. But then comes a family of Banku (Aman Sidiqqui), his kitchen-shy mom ( Juhi Chawla ) and slap-happy dad ( Shah Rukh Khan ) to live in the house.
The ghost has the plan of scaring the family away. But he runs into the notorious nine-year-old Banku who mistakes the ghost as an angel and befriends him.
Thereby begin the funny antics of Banku and Bhoothnath. With a mere flick of his finger, Bhoothnath is able to do magical feats, and more so willingly at Banku’s command.
The story seems to go in circles as the film focuses on the adventures of the kid and the ghost until Bhoothnath’s past catches up with him. Thereon, the tongue-in-cheek humour of the film wisps out of the plot and melodrama comes in, and the movie becomes a tearjerker, though just partly effective.
