A Vivek Sharma film starring Amitabh Bacchan, Shah Rukh Khan, Juhi Chawla and Aman Siddiqui as the main caste with supporting role offered by Rajpal Yadav, Satish Shah and Priyanshu Chatterjee and a special appearance of Aashish Chaudhary and Nauheed Cyrusi.
The film is about a very old and uninhabited house in Goa, 'NATH VILLA' haunted by the ghost of the original owner, Kailash Nath. Kailash's ghost loves every nooks and corner of the house and doesn't allow anybody to occupy its rooms, even for a single day. Thus rumours and stories about the house makes it quite infamous locally. But things change when a marine officer buys it and leaves his kitchen-shy wife and only child Banku, a mischivious lad, for an official voyage. Then begins the main theme where Banku befriends the ghost and together they set on playing pransk on the local folks and on occassions on themselves too. But problem begins as Banku's parents gradually gets to know about Bhoothnath and becomes concerned. It was then found out that Kailash Nath was being deprived of his last rites and realizing this, the family contacts Kailash's NRI son anc carries on the proper rituals. But even then, the final scenes of the film promises a sequel!
The film is mainly a comedy but the best thing is that it delivers some very valuable messages to the audience, both young and old. Thus we find that when Bhoothnath uses his powers to assist Banku in his pranks but he never assists Banku to win school competitions using his supernatural powers. Also the film conveys the age old message of 'to err is human, to forgive divine' in a very nice way.
But the film overlooks some major points which raises questions on the detailing of both the movie and the storyline. Also certain songs, specially the one featuring children in punk outfits, could have been omitted. Special mention must be made of Aman Siddiqui, Juhi Chawla for their natural acting and Rajpal Yadav on a short role has again put the audience in a laugh riot.
