Bhoot was a box-office hit.[4] Urmila won several accolades and awards for her performance as a possessed wife. Verma made a sequel called Bhoot Returns which was released on 12 October 2012.[5]

The story is about Vishal Bhatia (Ajay Devgn) an investment advisor who is married to Swati Bhatia (Urmila Matondkar). The couple rents a high-rise apartment at a ridiculously low price. The broker of the apartment introduces Vishal to the owner of the apartment, Mr. Thakkar (Amar Talwar) and explains to Vishal that a widow named Manjeet Khosla (Barkha Madan), the previous resident, committed suicide after killing her own son. Vishal hides this fact from Swati, as she will object to renting such a residence. But the owner accidentally slips in the secret.

Swati is extremely annoyed with Vishal for hiding the fact of the previous tenants, although he disbelieves the notions of ghosts and bad luck. Then, Swati starts seeing things and behaving very strangely. Vishal consults Dr. Rajan (Victor Banerjee). By this time it is understood that Swati is possessed, although Vishal thinks she's sleepwalking. One night Vishal notices that Swati is missing from the apartment. He goes out to search for her only to find her coming out of the elevator. Vishal feels something is wrong and goes to the ground floor, only to see the murdered watchman whose neck had been snapped backwards. This indicates possessed Swati murdered him. Vishal's whole scepticism is trashed. Inspector Liyaqat Qureshi (Nana Patekar), who reaches the apartment to investigate the death, becomes suspicious of the duo and their strange behavior. He follows Vishal and Dr. Rajan.

Vishal's maid witnesses Swati shouting and throwing Vishal away. She helps him tie her and tells him that Swati was shouting just like Manjeet. She also tells him that an exorcist can help her instead of doctors. Finally, Vishal's meets an exorcist named Sarita (Rekha). Sarita sees the ghosts of Manjeet and her son. She advises Vishal to meet Manjeet's mother (Tanuja), since she can placate her daughter's spirit. Vishal complies and meets Manjeet's mother. He learns from Manjeet's mother that Manjeet was not the type of woman who would commit suicide nor murder her own son. He explains the situation to her and asks her help. She comes with him and somehow placates Manjeet's spirit. They come to know that Mr. Thakkar's son, Sanjay Thakkar (Fardeen Khan) tried to molest Manjeet and when she resisted, she accidentally fell off the balcony and died. Hence, Sarita advises Vishal to call him. Vishal makes an unknown call to Sanjay and tells him that his father is sick. When Sanjay arrives, Vishal cleverly tells Mr. Thakkar and Sanjay to help him take Swati to the hospital.

It is then revealed that many years ago, Sanjay came to visit his father and developed a lust towards Manjeet after he saw her in the apartment. He broke into her house, and attempted to profess his lust, but when she rejected him, he pushed her and she accidentally fell off the balcony and died. Manjeet's young son witnessed the murder, upon which Sanjay hires the watchman to kill him. Manjeet, who has still possessed Swati's body, sees Sanjay and chases him. Qureshi tries to stop her, having no idea of the real story. Swati tries to kill Sanjay by strangulating him. But, Sarita asks Manjeet to leave him as Swati would be blamed later on.

Sanjay escapes, only to find himself surrounded by Vishal, Sarita, Manjeet and Qureshi who now know the truth. A terrified Sanjay confesses to the crimes, upon which Manjeet's mother urges her to stop. Sanjay is arrested by Inspector Qureshi, and thrown into jail. Manjeet leaves Swati's body, and Vishal and Swati live a good life in the apartment. Meanwhile, in the lockup, Qureshi tells Sanjay that death sentences are light penalties for a criminal like him. He wishes that Sanjay gets a bigger punishment. After Qureshi leaves the darkened cell, Sanjay finds himself face to face with Manjeet. He starts begging for mercy, but his voice soon fades out as Manjeet draws closer; it is implied that she kills Sanjay.

Bhoot is Director Ram Gopal Varma's second horror film after Raat (1992), starring Revathi. He said about the film, "Though technically it is a horror film, we don't see a murder or any overt horror." Further calling it a "hold-on-to-your-seats horror film".[9] He wanted to break the stereotypes of a typical Indian horror of "a woman in a white sari, mists and screeching." He expressed his intentions of bringing horror "to [audiences] homes in the middle of Mumbai." He believed that since horror films were expected to happen mostly in a graveyard or a haunted house on a hill station, their happening in a place where no one really expected a ghost would be scary. Terming the film a remake of Raat in some sense, and citing The Exorcist as a huge influence on Bhoot, Varma also included a message at the beginning of the film where he cautioned pregnant women and people with weak hearts to view it at their own risk.[10] The film creates terror through sound and everyday objects.[11]

Narendra Kusnur of Mid-Day was similarly positive of Matondkar, writing that her "transformation from a simple woman to a possessed spirit is smooth, and she emotes fear very naturally," and concluded:

In 2012, producer Jitendra Jain, of Alumbra Entertainment, purchased the rights from Nitin Manmohan and produced Bhoot Returns, which was also directed by Ram Gopal Varma. However, unlike Bhoot, it received mixed-to-negative reviews, and was a box-office disaster.

Now, when I had watched the trailer of Bhoot Police starring Saif Ali Khan, Arjun Kapoor, Yami Gautam, and Jacqueline Fernandez, I had loved it (because, favorite genre), and I was looking forward to what this team had to offer. Now that I have watched this horror-comedy, I can finally say that this team surely knew the path they were walking on and have delivered aptly. But before I elaborate, check out the trailer below:

We all know horror-comedy is a difficult genre, and Stree had set the bar really high for it. After Stree, it was difficult for the makers to match up to the expectations, but I am happy that the makers did live up to them. They have done justice to the genre, the film has the comedy and the horror that it needs. The perfect jump scares will give you the jitters, but I love the root of the narrative. The makers have understood the genre well and have not gone overboard with it, which is a great thing.

The rise of horror comedies has been quite evident in Bollywood in the past few years. The year 2022 alone had three consecutive releases in the same genre, with Kartik Aaryan's Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, Katrina Kaif's Phone Bhoot, and Varun Dhawan's Bhediya. For a sub-genre that only appears on the silver screen once every three to four years, it has suddenly managed to pull in a sizeable audience.

However, both filmmakers and the audience resisted the trend of horror films in cinemas at the time. Until the 1970s, when the Ramsay brothers entered the picture with their full-fledged horror flicks such as Do Gaz Zameen Ke Neeche, Purana Mandir, Jaani Dushman, Darwaza, Tahkhana and Veerana.

Although their films weren't technically horror comedies, they contributed to the horror genre by establishing it as mainstream in Bollywood. Tulsi Ramsay and Shyam Ramsay experimented with the genre in all ways possible, from depending on an ample amount of skin show to making India's first 3D horror film, Saamri, in 1985. This helped in escalating the consumption of the genre across India.

But with time, people soon grew tired of the genre and its same old, unidimensional plots with tacky special effects. There was no room left for the surprise element to keep the audience engaged, as they were repeatedly fed the same content. Soon, horror films started to notice a decline in the number of its viewers in cinema halls. In response, not many producers wanted to take the risk of investing in the genre anymore.

In contrast to Bollywood, where the horror genre was struggling in the late 1990s, the South grew rather fond of it. The Tollywood industry began producing at least more than ten horror films each year, as the genre was well-received by its target audience and was rapidly gaining popularity. Films like Prem Katha Chitram, Arundhati, Nagavalli, Chadramukhi, Kanchana, Raju Gari Gadhi, Rajamahal, and Bhagamathi hit the audience with a fresh perspective by amalgamating their spooky fictional characters with comedy.

While Bollywood was experimenting with its serious approach to the horror genre in the early 2000s, the South film industry played a significant role in reviving the appeal of horror comedies in cinema.
