Bhootu Review: A pleasing tale that defines clean entertainment

Zee Tv's new show Bhootu is a comedy fiction drama revolving around the the story of a cheerful and cute little ghost. It's about Pihu, a 7-year old girl who dies accidentally. She does not realize that she has died. Little Pihu thinks she is still alive and behaves like any regular girl of her age. Pihu is very fun loving and wants to play with her friends. She gets sad when they can't see her. Pihu wants to stay with her mother. She has her best friend Bal Gopal with her all the time. She shares a sweet and unique bond with him.

The show is a remake of Bhutu, a children's comedy-drama television series that aired on Zee Bangla before. Bhootu airs on 6.30 PM on Zee TV. The show has replaced Bin Kuch Kahe on the channel. It stars Arshiya Mukherjee in the lead role of Bhootu, along with Viraj Kapoor and Sana Amin Sheikh.

The show has a clear concept. With no mysteries, the show delivers what it promises. It has cute antics, jolly moments, and lots of mischief to add humor in the tale. The comedy drama targets the younger group of the audience. The show can never bore anyone. The little girl Pihu's emotional journey to reach her mother post her death drives the story ahead. Arshiya who plays Pihu is adorable and very much cute. She played the same role in Zee Bangla's Bhutu as well. She looks amazing in her simple look. Arshiya is superb in her portrayal, just like Viraaj Kapoor, who plays Bal Gopal in the show.

Viraaj was appreciated for his role of young Vardaan in Devanshi. He excels in this very role of Bhootu's best buddy. Akanksha Chamola looks very pretty in her Bengali avatar. She dons simple ethnic sarees. Few moments on screen just belongs to her. Sana Amin Sheikh as Suchi is an added wonder to the cast. She is very natural. Viewers can look forward to Pihu and Suchi's bonding. Pihu's cute talks and emotions are the USP of Bhootu. This is by far the best attempt by Zee channel in recent times.

I am telling mom to watch this too 😆
