Come Friday and Bollywood gets set for yet another slot of releases. This week will see the release of only small budget films in theaters across India. Therefore we do not get to celebrate the New Year with our big stars! The film Bhoot and Friends brings back to the big screen erstwhile leading man Jackie Shroff. Like one of his earlier ventures Bhoot Uncle, this film too shows the actor playing a ghost, though the ghost does not cause harm to anyone.

The story revolves around a group of friends, all school kids who spend their summer vacations searching for a lost treasure. They cross paths with another man who happens to be evil by nature and is also on the lookout for the same treasure. At this moment, the ghost or bhoot Jackie Shroff takes it upon himself to protect the kids from harm.

The film has been made keeping the tastes of children in mind. Though Bollywood has been there and done that before, Bhoot and Friends promises to appeal to children who would love to watch another bunch enjoying vacations in a different way! The film also reveals some good actors amongst the group of friends featured in Bhoot and Friends.
