Bhooth Bangla Movie Review

Aren't we done and dusted with women bending over in revealing cleavages, risible sequences, sexually obvious jokes? Clearly not.

Bhooth Bangla is a nightmare for diehard Bhool Bhulaiyaa fans. Bhool Bhulaiyaa fans are taken on a ride they'd want to forget.

All about Akshay Kumar; wish there was more of Tabu and Jisshu Sengupta in a typical Priyadarshan film. It's time for Akshay to evolve as an actor. He has proved it yet again: it is time for Bollywood to stop obsessing over stars.

Akshay Kumar and Priyadarshan's highly anticipated reunion in Bhooth Bangla attempts to revive their classic comedic synergy but ultimately falls flat, delivering a forgettable horror-comedy.

The much-anticipated Bhooth Bangla, starring Akshay Kumar and directed by Priyadarshan, falls short of delivering the expected blend of horror and comedy.

While logic is often flexible in such films, here it feels more forced than forgiven.

While the first half of Bhooth Bangla is thoroughly entertaining and keeps one hooked, a crisper narrative and a shorter runtime would have made this horror comedy far more effective.

BHOOTH BANGLA is a fair entertainer that works best for its humour

What we get, though, is a reunion that feels a little... bittersweet. Akshay Kumar keeps the laughs coming in Priyadarshan's horror comedy, but it feels a tad too familiar.

The humor is earthy and often irreverent and wacky. Akshay Kumar is terrific as the cocksure Arjun, who has a rational explanation for all the weird things happening in his presence.
