Best Supernatural Horror Film
Along with action, thriller, and suspense films, people’s fascination with horror films continues to grow rapidly. Consequently, OTT platforms are consistently releasing various films and series in this genre, which are receiving tremendous audience appreciation. However, today we’re not discussing any new release. Instead, we’re focusing on a film that was released in theaters two years ago and is suddenly trending on OTT platforms.
This Horror Film Released in 2022
2022 saw the release of several major films that broke box office records. Among these was this particular film that instantly captivated audiences upon release. The film shattered multiple revenue records. The audience’s love for the film exceeded all expectations. Even two years later, the film continues to receive immense appreciation, leading to its trending status on OTT platforms. Once again, the film is receiving the same level of audience adoration.
Trending in OTT Top 10
We’re talking about Kartik Aaryan’s horror-comedy film ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2’, which was released in 2022 and proved to be a blockbuster. The film starred Kartik alongside Kiara Advani and Tabu in lead roles. Additionally, the film featured outstanding performances from Rajpal Yadav, Amar Upadhyay, Sanjay Mishra, and Milind Gunaji. The film dominated the box office upon release and has now entered the Top 10 trending list on OTT.
Film Broke Box Office Records
Kartik Aaryan and Kiara’s film was a sequel to the 2007 blockbuster horror-comedy ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa’ starring Akshay Kumar and Vidya Balan. However, both films have significantly different storylines. While Akshay’s film focused on a psychological angle, Kartik’s film dealt with supernatural elements. Made on a budget of 80 crores, the film earned 216 crores domestically and collected 265 crores worldwide.
Why is the Film Trending on OTT?
Kartik Aaryan is currently working on the third installment of the ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa’ franchise, ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’. Since that film’s OTT release is still far away, both previous films in the franchise – ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa’ (2007) and ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2’ (2022) – are trending on OTT platforms. The film is currently trending on Netflix. The film was directed by Anees Bazmee, with the story written by Aakash Kaushik and Farhad Samji.
