Bhoothnath Returns 2014

Bhoothnath Returns (transl. Lord of ghosts returns) is a 2014 Indian Hindi-language supernatural action comedy film directed by Nitesh Tiwari and produced by Bhushan Kumar. A sequel to the 2008 film Bhoothnath, the film revolves around Bhoothnath (Amitabh Bachchan) who is mocked in a Bhoothworld for his inability to scare children before being sent back to Earth to redeem himself. The film was released on 11 April 2014 to positive reviews from critics. The Election Commission of India demanded tax-free status for Bhoothnath Returns, stating, "The state governments should support the strong social message that emanates from the film. Granting tax-free status to this film would make people aware of their rights as voters, like making voter ID cards or not treating polling day as a holiday". The Uttar Pradesh government has declared tax-free status to film on 30 April 2014. Bhoothnath Returns: The Game, an election mobile video game developed by Vroovy (a joint venture of Hungama and Gameshastra) was also released as a tie-in item to the film.
