As
cinema
evolves,
certain
characters
stand
the
test
of
time,
and
Vidya
Balan's
Manjulika
is
undoubtedly
one
of
them.
Her
enduring
presence
in
the
collective
memory
of
audiences
speaks
volumes
about
the
impact
of
both
Vidya
Balan's
performance
and
the
film
itself.
Vidya
Balan's
portrayal
of
Manjulika
in
the
cult
classic
"Bhool
Bhulaiyaa" continues
to
captivate
audiences
even
years
after
its
release.
Earning
the
name
as
the
most
loved
franchise,
Bhool
Bhulaiyaa
has
made
it's
name
not
just
as
a
movie
but
as
an
entire
emotion.
Despite
the
passage
of
time,
Manjulika
remains
relevant,
not
only
in
the
hearts
of
fans
but
also
in
the
realm
of
social
media,
where
memes
featuring
her
iconic
expressions
and
dialogues
are
still
widely
shared.
Manjulika's
character
is
a
perfect
blend
of
horror
and
tragedy,
making
her
both
terrifying
and
sympathetic.
Vidya
Balan's
nuanced
performance
breathed
life
into
this
complex
character,
earning
her
accolades
and
solidifying
Manjulika's
place
in
cinematic
history.
Now,
with
the
announcement
of
"Bhool
Bhulaiyaa
3"
coming
to
theatres
this
Diwali
with
Kartik
Aaryan
and
Vidya
Balan's
return
to
reprise
her
role
as
Manjulika,
excitement
among
fans
is
palpable.
The
prospect
of
seeing
the
original
Manjulika
grace
the
screen
once
again
has
reignited
interest
in
the
franchise
and
