Review of movie 'Bhootnath Returns'

Bhootnath Returns received mixed reviews from most critics. The film was praised for the camaraderie between its lead actors Parth Bhalerao (a superb child actor who plays a slum dweller from Dharavi) and Amitabh Bachchan who is, well, Amitabh Bachchan. Reviewers liked the first half, but most insisted that the film betrayed its target audience – the kids -- in the second half. Since those who are reading this piece know the film's story by now, you will be aware that Bhootnath Returns has its share of sermonising in the plot, and yes, that it asks the masses to vote during the elections.
