A major factor behind the strong buzz around Bhoot Bangla is the renewed partnership between Akshay Kumar and director Priyadarshan. Both last worked together on Khatta Meetha, which released 16 years ago, and their earlier films are remembered for sharp comic timing and fun-filled moments. Be it Garam Masala, Bhool Bhulaiyaa, Hera Pheri- the duo has always delivered when it comes to quality entertainment.

Taran Adarsh Shares Bhooth Bangla Review

Taran Adarsh gave the film a rating of 3.5 out of 5. He tweeted, "An entertainer that works for most parts... The #AkshayKumar - #Priyadarshan combo doesn't disappoint - the chills and chuckles are in equal measure. #BhoothBanglaReview The initial sequences may give an impression that #BhoothBangla borrows from #RajkumarKohli's massive hit #JaaniDushman [1979; #SunilDutt, #SanjeevKumar, #ShatrughanSinha, #Jeetendra], but the similarities end with the newly-wed brides being targeted."

"#BhoothBangla blends horror and comedy across its 2.45-hour narrative, with the first half leaning towards humour, while the post-interval portions delve into a darker past. The humour works, although a few sequences may come across as slightly naughty... It's the eerie atmosphere that forms the backbone, while the attention-grabbing VFX enhances the film's visual appeal. #Priyadarshan, known for his impeccable comic timing, ensures the narrative remains engaging, although [i] the writing could've been sharper and [ii] the runtime could've been tighter," Taran added

"The backstory in the second half evokes memories of #BhoolBhulaiyaa... However, the onscreen presentation could have been simpler. To his credit, the veteran storyteller keeps you hooked, springing surprises at regular intervals - with the interval twist delivering a major, unexpected jolt. #AkshayKumar is in top form... His comic timing, expressions, and effortless switch between fear and humour are a delight to watch. #Tabu is effective, although an actress of her calibre deserved more power-packed moments... #WamiqaGabbi barely gets any scope... Ditto for #MithilaPalkar, who has limited screen time," he wrote in his detailed review.

"It's #PareshRawal and #RajpalYadav who deliver several laugh-out-loud moments - both excel... The late #Asrani leaves a mark. #BhavnaPani is too good... #JisshuSengupta, #ZakirHussain, and #RajeshSharma are competent, as always... #ManojJoshi is wasted. The soundtrack is a mixed bag - #RamjiAakeBhalaKarenge stands out, while the remaining songs range from decent to okay. ⭐️ Final word? Worth a watch for its genuinely funny moments and a fair share of eerie chills (sic)," he added.
