Boothnath

Vivek Sharma after working in many film departments, made his debut as a director with Boothnath.


Amitabh for the first time played a ghost character. Unlike other ghost movies director made this film in different way. The relation between a ghost and a child is the original story line director wrote a tight screenplay for this line.


Aditya Sharma (Shah Rukh Khan) a successful engineer shifts from Mumbai to Goa with his wife Anjali (Juhi Chawla) and school going son Aman (Aman Siddique). They stay in a bungalow. They don't know any thing about the bungalow.


bungalow owner Kailashnath (Amitabh Bachchan) who died years back doesn't like people staying in that bungalow. He plans to scare the family members. And starts his plan with Aman.


But Aman thinks he is an angel. Khailash Naath likes Aman's innocence and starts a friendship. Every day he explains to his friends and teachers about Boothnath aka ghost Khailash Naath.


Principal of the school Irani (Sathish Shah) complains to Anjali about Aman's strange behavior. Anjali finds out about Bhoothnath and forces her husband to leave the bungalow. Boothnath now is not ready to agree to this as he wants Aman friendship.


Amitabh as Boothnath did a great job especially in the funny scenes. Director Vivek Sharma impressed the audience by touching on a new concept.


Shah Rukh Khan played an almost guest role and Juhi Chawla is also good. Aman is the real hero of this film. Vishnu Roy caught some beautiful Goa locations onto his camera. Music from Saleem Merchant, Suleman Merchant, Vishal and Shekar is okay.
