The lead actress of the Kannada remake, Soundarya, died before its release, and the lead actor, Vishnuvardhan, died before the release of the sequel. It is rumored that an evil spirit is responsible for both deaths.

[@shivangagrawal8567]

Then how did Mohanlal and Shobna the lead actor n actress from the original are safe n sound😂😂😂. Though that's more famous with Shobna even getting a National Award. It seems even the spirit is unaware of it as do more than half of India😅😅

[@maryamzia5491]

this guys theory about vidya always wanting to kill shiny blew my mind! will have to watch the movie again!!

[@HK-hw4oy]

In actual both the theories are wrong vidya never wanted to kill shiny before open the door Amesha bought the poison and paresh not rajpal saw viday’S shadow at first but vidya was not possessed that time

[@vimali2713]

Loved the conspiracy theory of collective assassination that built up to the alternative ending... Has it aged well is always entertaining

[@sunny13aug]

Shobhana won best actress national award for her portrayal in original and in tami version too jothika was awesome, only vidhya could have portrait it at that time

[@kaushikmada]

I'd never thought I'd come to youtube one day and watch a conspiracy theory about Bhool Bhulaiyaa🤣

[@shadesofshambhavi]

I think Manjolika breaks that camera because they captured the raja's happy memories in that camera, be it with his wife during labo ko labo se or the coronation, which made Manjolika angry and revengeful seeing her enemy enjoy his life. That might be a symbolic scene portraying what she wants to do- break the happiness raja has in his new life.

[@sahilsur8734]

Rajpal Yadav's scene happens after Vidya is introduced. The room was established through her.

[@ChiraagArora]

Re-watching bhool bhulaiyaa and shutter island again after this

[@PokhrajRoy.]

In Bengal, there’s the story of Behula where two court performers fall in love and the female performer was cursed to be born as a mortal.

[@suvidha5369]

😳

[@parushashridhar3189]

This is literally my favourite episode of Has it aged well so far😂😂😂 I love this movie, I loved all the theories you brought in. Mast maze😂

[@jineshudani401]

Soo.. Who's going to tell Aakash that hypnosis is an actual technique used in psychotherapy? Of course, not the way it was shown in the film, but it's not just a trope picked up from old Bollywood films.

[@rockingishan12345]

If paying for Cyrus says membership keeps the has it aged well alive for many years I'm in 😂

[@s.s.3110]

The guys who plays Amisha's brother in the movie is the same guy who played the cop in "Saas, Bahu aur Flamingo".. Jimit Trivedi..

[@abbasmomin]

Thanks for mentioning his name. Should have mentioned it.

[@rishikeshkhoptikar7037]

17:01 sent this to Manisha Korde. She was quite happy to hear this and thanked.

[@urjitawani.]

Ayy that’s so nice of you! :)

[@B1it3krieg]

it feels like m sitting with friends.. thank you !

[@PandaTheAB]

Alternate endings were previously Podcast only. Great to have them here 😄

[@Bhargabh351]

The conspiracy theories are just awesome.. Love it

[@trueindian510]

1st of this is a remake of Malayalam movie Manichitrathazhu....I can see about the death theories in comment....to all of them shobana the original actress os still alive and compared to all manjulika shobana is the best. Secondly, the purpose of making this movie by director faizal was that how people make rumors and ghost stories. This movie was made to break all myths.

[@manishmishraji]

What the psychologist did was psycho drama. A theory in psychological treatment. The conference at which he met the bade pandit ji, he was postulating a modern approach to exorcism.. Which is basically why exorcism etc works in many cases. It's all jungian, collective unconscious etc.. Some body who has studied this might be able to better explain it..

[@PokhrajRoy.]

People took the wrong lessons from this movie and became xenophobic to Bengalis which is not the point of the movie.

[@dia606]

Thank you - all this black magic rubbish associated with Bengalis by North Indians is just wild. Bhool Bhulaiya 2 just plays up that trope too

[@moviesjust1740]

No Abbas bro, hotel mein nahi ruke thein. Raat ko wo aake haveli mein hi ruke thein

[@PokhrajRoy.]

I’d love to be invited with Aakash Mehta for the ‘Welcome’ episode.

[@vijaykumarwali7509]

This is such a underrated podcast

[@heydenmelroy5892]

Being a malayali who has watched manichitrathazhu, I am so offended by all the conspiracy theories Akash has come up with! 😂

[@vijaykumarwali7509]

I love how the theories have Agatha Christie vibes.

[@Roll_no.144]

If you got scared by Vidya's portrayal of Manjulika...... please don't watch Chandramukhi.

[@bagholder]

Can’t believe you guys didn’t discuss “Aadha nahi Radha!!”

[@preetirath8774]

Loved the episode and the alternate endings! Very engaging

[@PokhrajRoy.]

OMG I LOVE THIS MOVIE! Vidya Balan was absolutely fantastic and Manjulika was an underrated feminist icon in cinema argue with a wall.

[@dev_s21]

But why should we argue with Rahul Dravid???

[@PokhrajRoy.]

@@dev_s21 😂

[@shivanisingh9659]

Urjita, did you by any chance make a cameo in Rehna Hai Tere Dil Mein as the girl sitting at the back of a scooter talking to Ram Madhvan at a traffic signal? I was watching the movie again and I spotted you and it blew my mind! :p

[@urjitawani.]

Unless that girl in question is a toddler, I don’t think it was me :p

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Thank you for this episode ❤

[@zkaps463]

Video out before audio?!! I'm glad either way but just unusual pattern... Good movie choice too!

[@vineetbiju1234]

Keeps the suspense...

[@vishwasjain9668]

BEST ALTERNATE ENDINGS EVER

[@AdityaKapur96]

When Vidya balan talk about the rat kill, its after she has entered the room, and Manoj joshi tells everyone to shift to the haveli. That's why Ameesha is unpacking and Vidya sees the rat poison

[@HK-hw4oy]

Right these guys didn’t watch the movie properly and making silly theories its funny It’s paresh rawal not rajpal who saw vidya’s shadow in the haweli before shiny vidya introduced bcs they went to see the haweli at night shiny even mentioned there is no theory in it Vidya didn’t try to scare paresh she was not possessed that time And you correctly mentioned the poison thing also amessha brought it after vidya opened the door and possessed she tried to kill shinny with that poison

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Word of the Day: MANJULIKING

[@gouwestraat6]

Folks it sounds cliched but the original in malayalam manichitratazhu is ten times better 😊...not sure if the podcasters watched it in malayalam and hope aome some day they do and have an episode on it

[@binila3840]

10:29 FYI, Priyadarshan was one of the 2nd unit director of the original film, Manichithrathazhu.

[@harshbhagat4716]

What an amazing movie bhool bhulaiyaa is

[@PandaTheAB]

Great conspiracy theories about the movie 😁

[@moviesjust1740]

This movie was so entertaining

[@dia606]

Guys do actual old movies also, like Bawarchi, or Anand - maybe Shatranj ke Khiladi? Masoom is a fantastic film to rewatch - betting it has aged amazingly

[@manishmishraji]

Wo "original story" Is almost the plot of meghdoot

[@zkaps463]

21:50 it was Keemat

[@amitkumars19]

Great content but why can't you keep the volume constant.......

[@Biihuu]

Must rewatch Mohra - Sunil Shetty & Akshay Kumar

[@b2kt734]

Please do the podcast for raaz movie 2002

[@skhjasunakshi]

I really wanted to finish watching this episode but Aakash is not someone I can listen to for more than 5 minutes. So pity. I wish they had a different guest for this movie.

[@akshaynatekar4231]

Please do Aparichit episode in has it aged well

[@MrNumber333]

44:21 The psychiatrist could have just attended the conference for understanding the exorcist believers perspective. Maybe he also went to challenge their views

[@amolathavale3796]

UURJAA

[@ameengupta2914]

Why is aakash mehta interrupting and speaking so loudly.

[@lakshmiluhadiya]

The handycam was broken because she recorded his coronation on it

[@personaldata1270]

Dono if it's funny or irritating that u r reading so much into the movie.. Itna soch ke ni bani thi ye movie 😢

[@dunno23]

Man I would have loved to watch HIAW on Bhool Bhulaiya but you guys have invited serial cheater and compulsive liar as a guest. I’ll pass.

[@rajatbharti1133]

This show somehow manages to get the most unfunny people as guests

[@moviesjust1740]

Ameesha was adopted daughter of Manoj Joshi. Urjita just justified cousin marriage.

[@minimouse2260]

Muje lgta h purane movies me jo tm side plot me lgte the aajkl political correctness me lg jate h😂

[@Tikkibombom]

Ami je tomar is not original.😂

[@RahulNR15]

Do you guys even research? Why are all (entitled, urban) women online definition of woke.

[@ameengupta2914]

Aakash mehta is so irritating and desperate to speak and show is comic skills which don't exist.

[@cinegog2100]

His comedy is always forced. Don't know why he was called on for a second time

[@nikhilkulkarni2574]

Why is this guest so irritating??

[@suvidha5369]

You know the questions you may never get answers to - Why does he keeps talking only filthy abusive language why is he called a comedian when he is the one laughing loudest namaste on his own jokes ughhh

[@shreyasdhokte3979]

​@@suvidha5369agree with u. Please dont invite him again.

[@addycool444]

Ye sb ek greh ki wje se bna tha shukra

[@puffdaddy4920]

What a joke..has a mediocre remake aged well....seriously...

[@prathamprakash6098]

It's quite iconic for most of us!! Maybe you do not agree but the majority opinion is very positive on this film🙏

[@sree.8556]

Will Aaksah Mehta read his opinions from Google , like he did for answers in kvizzing with comedians 😊?

[@dev_s21]

He cheated on Antariksh's show too! Ig it's his thing😂

[@dunno23]

Man also cheated in chess match he played against an Indian Grandmaster

[@chandlerbinged3280]

Will Rahul Subramanian also come to this show? Maybe KV can help, like he does for him in KVizzing. 😊
