The story of a psychiatrist helping a friend who has just returned from abroad and is haunted by ghost. What happens when old locks to a forbidden room in a haunted mansion are opened and how mysterious happening start after that.
StoryLine
From racy America to his hometown in the interiors of India, it was a long journey indeed for Siddharth (Shiney Ahuja). But nothing could match the mind-boggling journey that now lay in front of him. For it was a journey into an astounding maze in which each step meant mystery, discovery, surprise, shock and revelation.
With open arms, his large extended family welcomes the US based Siddharth & his newly wed wife Avni (Vidya Balan) when they come home. But what the family resists is Siddharth's insistence on staying in his royal ancestral mansion during his stay. His uncle Badrinarayan Chaturvedi (Manoj Joshi) particularly has no qualms about voicing his displeasure. For it was that very mansion that held in its realm, a deadly secret that had repeatedly destroyed the family for generations.
The scientifically inclined Siddharth pays no heed and starts staying at the palatial mansion with Avni who is equally modern in her thinking... But soon enough the couple is forced to rethink their decision... Unforeseen happenings, mysterious elements, horrific indications and life threatening incidents swarm their path. Suddenly it becomes a situation that urgently had to be dealt with before it got too late.
Siddharth instinctively finds the solution in his dynamic Doctor friend Aditya (Akshay Kumar). When Dr. Aditya finds his way into the mansion, he is a man on a mission. He just had to find the cause of all the upheaval before the effects caused more harm than could be imagined... Where did the answer lie??? The Scientific world or the Mystical one??? The puzzle had to be solved... It is not long before Dr Aditya discovers that nothing is what it seems and what seems, is not... and that the devastating reality was enough to shatter all truths.

Although the reactions to the film will vary, the Idd period coupled with the two factors will ensure a terrific start for the film, in turn making it a profitable venture for its investors.

'Bhool Bhulaiya' is neither a typical masala film nor a comedy that the viewers expect from Priyadarshan. Priyan is capable of delivering more than what he has done so far . Peep into his filmi career to find jewels of cinema in his box. He is trying to bring back the same cinema to his basics but this depends on the fate of 'Bhool Bhulaiya'. 'Bhool Bhulaiya' is one step forward for Piryan in his career. He presents his best buddy Akshay Kumar in a role that is introduced in the film just before the interval. And, Akshay is so convinced about his character that he doesn't even hesitate to deliver longer dialogues to explain the case before the royal family. Except this scene that goes on and on, the film is a perfect product for the weekend entertainment.
Priyadarshan bundles many surprises in this film. Not only he keeps the suspense of the film intact until the last reel but also makes viewers think and rethink on their character. The film has a story that requires some very brilliant acting by its team. And, this time it's not Akshay Kumar or Paresh Rawal or Rajpal Yadav who walks away with all the acclaim but it's Vidya Balan who surprises each and every one in the cinema hall.
