Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 released on November 1, 2025. Audiences cheered not just for the grand scale or Rooh Baba's return but for Vidya Balan as stepped back into the world she once helped create. In other words, the original Manjulika was home again. Vidya Balan's role in the first Bhool Bhulaiyaa is unforgettable. In the 2007 movie, she redefined what it meant to play possessed on screen. As Manjulika, she played a layered, tragic and hypnotic character. Vidya infused her with grace and intensity and turned what could have been a genre character into one of Hindi cinema's most memorable women.
