Bollywood-Inspired Halloween Looks

Here are Halloween looks inspired by your favourite Bollywood spooky character. Let’s get you ready for an unforgettable night!

Bulbbul (Netflix’s Bulbbul)

Credits: IMDb

For a hauntingly beautiful look, transform yourself into Bulbbul, the mysterious and vengeful spirit from the Netflix film. Wear a traditional Bengali saree in vibrant reds and golds, adorned with antique jewellery. The look should exude elegance mixed with an eerie undertone—especially if you opt for a blood-red bindi and smudged kohl-lined eyes. Bulbbul’s ethereal grace and haunting gaze will make for an unforgettable and dramatic Halloween entrance.

Monjulika (Bhool Bhulaiyaa, 2007)

Credits: IMDb

Monjulika is equal parts terrifying and iconic in Indian horror lore. To get her look, dress in a tattered, dark sari with wild, dishevelled hair. Dark, heavy eye makeup, along with smeared red lipstick, gives her that crazed, vengeful appearance. Add in some gold jewellery, especially anklets, to channel her ghostly dancer vibe. And don’t forget her twisted dance moves, which you can break into any time someone’s too comfortable at the party!

Chota Pandit (Bhool Bhulaiyaa)

Credits: IMDb

For a more fun and quirky costume idea, dress as Rajpal Yadav’s unforgettable character ‘Chota Pandit’ from Bhool Bhulaiyaa. His character is dressed like a vagabond, with ragged clothes splattered with red paint, giving him a chaotic, comical, yet eerie look. His wild hair, peculiar expressions, and painted face will make your costume a hit, especially with fans of Indian horror-comedy films.

Yakshini (Pocket FM's Yaksini...Ek Dayan)

Credits: IMDb

While everyone is dressing up as popular Bollywood eerie characters, you turn up as a ghost nobody has expected. Dress up as Yakshini from Pocket FM's Yaksini...Ek Dayan. To embody her, opt for a flowing sari in deep hues like maroon or dark blue. Gold jewellery, especially large earrings and a statement necklace is essential to capture her otherworldly elegance. Add in loose, wavy hair with flowers entwined and accentuate your makeup with smouldering eyes to radiate Yakshini's allure. Who knows they might mistake you for a real ghost.
