Anees Bazmee Pens Heartfelt Note As Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 Turns 3

Filmmaker Anees Bazmee took to Instagram today to mark the third anniversary of his blockbuster hit Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, reflecting on the film’s unforgettable journey and the love it continues to receive from audiences.

Released in 2022 during a time when the world was emerging from the shadows of the pandemic, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 brought back not just the thrills and chills, but also laughter and joy to theatres across the country. Starring Kartik Aaryan, Kiara Advani, and Tabu in lead roles, the film became a massive box office success, reinvigorating the Hindi horror-comedy genre and re-establishing Bazmee’s mastery in the commercial cinema space.

In his post, Bazmee wrote,

“Three years ago, during a time when the world was just beginning to heal, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 found its way to the big screen—and into your hearts. I will never forget the love, the laughter, and the energy you all brought back into theatres. Watching audiences return, smiling, clapping, laughing together—it meant more than words can ever express."

He further thanked fans and the entire team who stood by the film, saying, “To everyone who believed in this film, who embraced the madness, the mystery, and the magic—thank you from the bottom of my heart. This one will always be special. And it’s all because of you all.”

Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 served as a spiritual successor to the 2007 cult classic Bhool Bhulaiyaa, and despite high expectations, it carved its own identity with a mix of humor, suspense, and a standout dual performance by Tabu. The film’s foot-tapping soundtrack, including the hit title track remake, also contributed to its mass appeal.

As Bazmee continues working on his next directorial venture No Entry 2, his tribute to Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 is a reminder of how cinema continues to be a shared emotional experience—one that brought people together when they needed it the most.
