Critic Reviews
-
Frank Lovece, Film Journal International
Bhoothnath (Ghost Lord) has all the hallmarks of wacky family comedies the world over, although with some admirably dark and serious spots as well.
-
Maitland McDonagh, TV Guide's Movie Guide
Bhoothnath never finds a comfortable balance between broad comedy and the bittersweet relationship between Nath and Banku, each of whom fills a void in the other's existence.
