The audience expecting spooky chills and laughter from ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’ got a surprise of a different kind – a cameo by none other than Shah Rukh Khan. But it wasn’t just any cameo; it was a full-blown parody of his vigilante character from the upcoming action thriller ‘Jawan’.
Kartik Aaryan’s ‘Rooh Baba’ character found himself facing off against a lookalike of SRK’s bandaged, revenge-driven anti-hero in a scene that went viral instantly. The scene, complete with slow-motion struts and SRK’s signature one-liners, took a comedic turn, leaving the audience in a mix of shock and amusement.
Social Media Reacts: Laughter, Cringe, and Debate
Social media erupted with reactions to the ‘Jawan’ parody, with opinions ranging from uproarious laughter to outright cringe. Some viewers praised the cameo, calling it a highlight of the film and a hilarious moment. Others, however, found it out of place and a bit awkward.
One user expressed their delight, stating: “Jawan in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 what a scene. Enjoyed it.” Another said: “The main paisa vasool scene.. i literally fell off my seat laughing. (The worth the money kinda scene. I literally fell off my seat laughing).” And a third user added, “This Spoof just got Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 5 tickets from my family!!!”
However, some found the cameo cringeworthy. A user commented: “This feels so cringe no lie,” while another one said, “WTF!! Ye kya tha? Ye sasta mummy kaha se aya,” questioning the taste and execution.
Cameos: A Trend in Bollywood
The cameo by Shah Rukh Khan in ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’ highlights the trend of crossovers in Bollywood. While some films aim for a humorous take, like ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3,’ others use cameos to leverage the star power and popularity of iconic characters. For instance, ‘Singham Again’ features Salman Khan’s beloved ‘Chulbul Pandey’ from the ‘Dabangg’ series, adding a layer of action-packed entertainment to the film.
This trend of cameos in Bollywood is a fascinating one, showcasing a playful and sometimes surprising way for filmmakers to connect with their audiences. Whether a cameo is funny or cringeworthy is ultimately a matter of individual taste, but the debate it generates shows that such elements certainly add a layer of buzz and excitement to films.
