Plot
One day, Shyam discovers an old, abandoned lighthouse near the outskirts of the village. The lighthouse is rumored to be haunted, and the villagers avoid it at all costs. Driven by curiosity and courage, Shyam ventures into the lighthouse, where he unknowingly awakens the spirit of a friendly ghost, fondly called "Bhoot Unkle." This ghost, played by Jackie Shroff, is revealed to be the spirit of a kind man who was betrayed and killed under mysterious circumstances.
Bhoot Unkle and Shyam form an unusual bond. The ghost, with his supernatural abilities and quirky sense of humor, becomes a protector and mentor for Shyam. He helps Shyam gain confidence and stand up to his bullies, earning him the admiration of his friends and the village kids. The ghost also assists Shyam and his friends with their day-to-day challenges in amusing and magical ways, often creating comical situations.
As the story unfolds, Shyam learns about Bhoot Unkle’s tragic past. The ghost was once a good-natured man who was wrongfully killed by a greedy and corrupt businessman named Thakur, who wanted to seize control of the lighthouse and the land around it. Thakur’s greed and crimes had gone unchecked for years, and the lighthouse became a symbol of his misdeeds.
Determined to bring justice to Bhoot Unkle and stop Thakur’s evil plans, Shyam, his friends, and the ghost team up to expose the truth. Using Bhoot Unkle’s supernatural powers and the children’s cleverness, they outwit Thakur and his goons. Along the way, the ghost's antics bring laughter and joy, even in the face of danger.
In the climax, Bhoot Unkle confronts Thakur and his men, scaring them and forcing them to confess their crimes. The ghost’s mission is finally complete, and he is able to find peace. In an emotional goodbye, Bhoot Unkle thanks Shyam for his courage and friendship, promising to always watch over him.
The film concludes with Shyam and his friends celebrated as heroes in the village, and the lighthouse restored as a safe place free of Thakur’s greed.

Reception
Taran Adarsh of IndiaFM gave the film 1.5 out of 5, writing ″Jackie Shroff, the friendly ghost, doesn't work. Dev Kantawala, the child artist, is a complete natural. He's the scene stealer actually. The remaining kids are tolerable. Akhilendra Mishra, Rasika Joshi, Shehzad Khan and Anurag Prapanna are plain mediocre. On the whole, BHOOT UNKLE lacks the power to satisfy its target audience -- kids. With not much going in its favor, its chances of survival at the ticket window are bleak.″[5]
