The trailer of Bhooth Bangla has been released, marking the much-anticipated reunion of Akshay Kumar and Priyadarshan. The duo, known for delivering iconic comedy films, return with a horror-comedy that blends humour, suspense, and nostalgia.
Plot: Haunted House Meets Wedding Chaos
The trailer introduces Akshay Kumar as a man who inherits a mysterious bungalow surrounded by a haunted forest called Pisaach Van. Despite repeated warnings, he refuses to leave the property and continues with plans to get married.
As the story unfolds, an evil entity named Vadhusur threatens the village of Mangalpur, where marriages have seemingly come to a halt due to fear. While Paresh Rawal attempts to warn others of the looming danger, Akshay’s character humorously dismisses the threat—until he accidentally awakens the supernatural force.
Star Cast and Nostalgic Reunion
Apart from Akshay Kumar, the film features a strong ensemble cast including Mithila Palkar, Rajpal Yadav, Tabu, Wamiqa Gabbi, and Jisshu Sengupta.
The trailer also hints at Rajpal Yadav revisiting some of his signature comic style, adding to the film’s nostalgic appeal.
This collaboration brings back memories of hit films like Hera Pheri, Bhool Bhulaiyaa, and Garam Masala, which have defined Bollywood comedy for years.
Mixed Reactions From Fans
The trailer has sparked diverse reactions online. While some viewers praised the film for its nostalgic tone and classic comedy setup, others felt it resembled recent horror-comedy formulas.
However, a large section of fans expressed excitement about the reunion of Akshay Kumar, Priyadarshan, Paresh Rawal, and Rajpal Yadav, calling it a return to the “golden era” of Bollywood comedy.
Release Date and Expectations
Directed by Priyadarshan, Bhooth Bangla is set to release on April 16, with paid previews scheduled from 9 PM onwards. With its mix of humour, horror, and star power, the film is expected to attract audiences looking for light-hearted entertainment with a nostalgic twist.
