With Bhoot Bangla finally arriving in theatres, audience reactions have started pouring in across social media, especially on Reddit. Early discussions suggest that the film has largely received a mixed response from Redditors.

Taking to Reddit, a user wrote, "1st half has some funny moments mostly because of Akshay, Rajpal and Paresh. Some extremely cheap and cringy jokes too. But okay, I guess. Second half is bad/okay, nothing scary. Climaix is trash and expected. However there are some great scenes in the second half too like the bridal horror scenes. Overall, okay notalgia bait movie. Doesn't really stand up to OG Bhul Bhulaiya."

Another Redditor stated, "Excellent movie. Really positively surprised me. Go with the family."

A third Reddit user said, "Just watched it. Will give max 2 out of 5. maybe even 1.5. First half was good, 2nd let down for me. expected an out and out comedy movie a la de dhana dhan, bagham bagh. Songs were also weak."

Another Reddit review reads, "Just finished watching it Og Akshay is back tho First half is really funny Second half is not bad too Overall a good watch."
