How to watch the Bhool Bhulaiyaa franchise (chronological order)

The chronological order of the Bhool Bhulaiyaa series is, fortunately, the same as its release order:

The first film in the Bhool Bhulaiyaa franchise follows a psychiatrist who investigates a haunted mansion where strange occurrences are linked to a centuries-old legend. As he delves deeper, he uncovers psychological twists and uncanny revelations about the past. Akshay Kumar’s performance as the eccentric psychiatrist and Vidya Balan’s stellar turn as a woman and her possessed dancer form drew critical acclaim and Bhool Bhulaiyaa has gone down as a cult classic in mainstream Bollywood.

The 2022 sequel followed directly from the events of the first film. Kartik Aaryan led the franchise this time as a fraud exorcist who investigates yet another case of haunting by the first movie’s dancing spirit Manjulika. Apart from Aaryan, new additions to the franchise included Kiara Advani and Tabu with the latter filling Balan’s shoes in playing Manjulika’s latest victim.

Despite Kumar and Balan’s absence, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 managed to win over critics and audiences alike and now will be followed by a direct sequel in 2024 with Aryan reprising his role.

Which movie was Bhool Bhulaiyaa inspired by?

Bhool Bhulaiyaa has its fair share of original jokes and catchy songs but director Priyadarshan’s supernatural comedy owes its existence to the 1993 Malayalam hit Manichitrathazhu.

Mohanlal revisited his lead role in a 2013 spin-off titled Geethanjali.
