Ali Baba Aur 40 Bhoot Series Review: Asha Negi & Vishal Vashishtha’s Spooky Adventure Struggles to Scare or Tickle
JioHotstar’s Ali Baba Aur 40 Bhoot gives a playful supernatural spin to classic folklore, teaming Asha Negi’s rational scientist with Vishal Vashishtha’s lovesick, bumbling cop. While Vishal brings delightful energy and effortless laughs, the series gets weighed down by sluggish pacing, odd side quests, and tame scares. Without sharp comedic writing or real spooky thrills, the 40 phantoms fail to leave a lasting mark. It settles as a breezy, forgettable weekend watch that leaves its horror-comedy potential half-baked.
