'Bhootnath Returns' displays a bit of heart and a bit of good intention. In this film, Bhootnath (Amitabh Bachchan), the infamously friendly ghost, is desperate to be born again, but the boss of the ‘ghost house’ (which looks eerily similar to Hogwart’s School of Witchcraft and Wizardry) decides to send him back on earth again to ‘prove’ himself. Bhoothnath yet again stumbles upon a kid who can see him. This time, it is the precocious, street-smart Akhrot (Parth Bhalerao) from Dharavi. As soon as Bhootnath is exposed to the ‘real’ world, the duo takes on the local goonda-turned-politician, James Porto (Boman Irani). The ghost decides to stand for elections against James, and well, all hell breaks loose.
