What Is Ali Baba aur 40 Bhoot About?
Today, we are reviewing the new JioHotstar show, Ali Baba aur 40 Bhoot.
The story revolves around a girl named Alisha and a police officer named Baba; the two shared a romance during their childhood. Alisha had left the city but has now returned to this small town to celebrate Diwali with her father.
However, her father is missing.
Where has he gone? What is the angle involving the “40 ghosts”? Who is the demon here? To find out the answers to these questions, you need to watch the show four episodes, each 25 minutes long, have been released so far.
40 Episodes, 40 Ghosts: How Does This Web Serial Work?
Before you complain that JioHotstar has pulled this stunt again, releasing only four episodes at a moment; this isn’t a standard web series.
Instead, it is a “web serial” that is slated to have a total of 40 episodes.
Yes, we are going to see 40 ghosts across 40 episodes. The first four episodes have already been released, and four new episodes will drop every Friday.
So, the entire show is set to conclude in roughly two and a half months.
Ali Baba aur 40 Bhoot Review: The Story Is Surprisingly Fun
If I were to review the first four episodes right now, I’d simply say: it was a blast.
Honestly, bro, I had absolutely zero expectations, literally 0% for this show, but it turned out to be interesting.
The story is excellent. They’ve attempted something unique within the horror genre. There’s comedy, too; at times it’ll make you laugh, and at other moments, it’ll leave you thinking, “Wait, what was that?”
But the story, the screenplay, the thrilling sequences, and the ghosts themselves watching it all is genuinely entertaining, bro.
The concept is genuinely good.
The main antagonist here is Vakrasingha everything about him was revealed via AI in the fourth episode.
Horror, CGI and the Overall Experience
Now, considering the budget is quite low, the quality doesn’t suffer; in fact, the story is flowing exactly as it should.
The way they’ve introduced a ghost and are piecing together the mystery it’s all shaping up really well.
I hope to see continued improvement as the series progresses beyond these first four episodes.
Right now, it’s genuinely fun to watch.
Look, the CGI isn’t exactly top-notch, and the scenes aren’t so disgusting that your balls go from four to forty. It’s not like that.
With episodes running around 24–25 minutes, the story moves along at a brisk pace.
The process of tracking down the clues gives off an adventurous vibe, which is another plus.
Performances
Asha Negi is in this show; she has done a great job and looks fantastic.
Vishal Vashishtha stars opposite her, and he has also performed well. The rest of the star cast is solid too.
Is Ali Baba aur 40 Bhoot Worth Watching?
So far, the show is on the right track. It has 40 episodes, so it remains to be seen whether they will drag things out unnecessarily later on—though, as of now, it doesn’t feel like they are stretching the narrative.
The pace, flow, and thrill factor are all spot-on. The comedy is a bit hit-or-miss; there are moments you’ll enjoy, while at other times, you might feel it’s just silly or pointless.
But let me reiterate: the show is interesting. You should definitely start watching it.
Final Verdict
I won’t rate the show just yet; I want to watch all the episodes first so I can give you a final verdict.
Regarding the content itself, there is nothing vulgar to be seen here so far.
So, friends, that was my take on it. I hope you liked it.
See you in the next review.
Have a good day.
