Bhoot – Part One: The Haunted Ship is a 2020 Indian Hindi-language horror thriller film written and directed by Bhanu Pratap Singh and jointly produced by Karan Johar, Hiroo Yash Johar, Apoorva Mehta and Shashank Khaitan. It is based on a true accident that took place in Mumbai and tells the story of a couple on an abandoned ship lying static on a beach. The film features Vicky Kaushal, Bhumi Pednekar and Ashutosh Rana in lead roles and is the first film of a planned horror film franchise.
The only haunting feeling that would linger with you is the empty theater because no one is willing to spend their time and money on a movie that tried to be a horror with an emotional backdrop making it a cringing comedy with no support story. The true incident that inspired the script had huge potential to turn this into a good thriller and scary horror movie but sadly it turned out a disaster. The only good part about this entire movie was the actors, Vicky, Ashutosh and even Bhumi in her cameo were shining brightly and the worst of the movie was the scripts, the set design, the music and the vfx or whatever they tried to use to make the scary scenes more horrifying. The biggest element of horror movie is the surprise and that is series like haunting hill do not require extreme editing or technical support and can survive on the script alone. I would say Bollywood that has given us Raaz where just the scene where Bipasha hears a screaming noice calling out to her from the forest gives us the scare or Stree where the comical timing of the scares are matched perfectly is still a capable industry to make a decent scary movie but a huge part of it still lies on direction and script at which Bhoot the Haunted ship felt like a never ending movie with some laughter gags in middle..
