‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2’ (Netflix): This horror-comedy will have you in splits in turns and turning away in turns (out of fear). This is the story of twins — yes, one good, one bad — and the evil rage that sibling rivalry can inspire. When the bus Reet (Kiara Advani) is supposed to be on crashes, she lets her family believe she is dead; this is for a noble reason; and helped by Ruhan (Kartik Aaryan), she hides in her ancestral, reportedly haunted home. She may not believe in ghosts, but that doesn’t mean the ghost doesn’t believe in her.

Will she make the cut or will the high-falutin people of the establishment take the joy out of her passion: street dancing? The finale is fantastic, so watch on for that.
