Bhoot Police: Disney Plus Hotstar
The supernatural horror comedy stars an ensemble cast including actors Saif Ali Khan, Arjun Kapoor, Jacqueline Fernandez, and Yami Gautam. It has Khan and Kapoor playing ghostbusting brothers, Vibhooti and Chiraunji respectively. While Vibhooti is in the business only for money, Chiraunji takes his profession as his responsibility and goes by the book — ‘baba ki kitab’ — to ward off the forces of evil. The film can be a good pick for those with an eye for horror comedies. It is mostly funny because of Saif’s quick-witted punches and the ladies of the film, Gautam and Fernandez have done a decent job too.
