Bhooth Bangla Twitter Review: What People Didn't Like?

To note, a section of fans of was disappointed by Bhoot Bangla and found the comedy quite outdated. A user wrote, "I wish Bhoot Bangla came out 10 years ago. Unpopular opinion - watching Priyadarshan sir's style again feels nostalgic, but also a bit sad... that our childhood entertainer now feels stretched. Still, his humour? Bang on". Another user tweeted, "#BhoothBangla 1st Half: Thik hi chal rha hai. Some jokes lands others are just loud shouting with the hope that audience will laugh. #AkshayKumar is chaotic and fun. Horror is as little as possible l, just the compilation of jump scares."

Meanwhile, as Bhooth Bangla marks late actor Asrani's last appearance on the big screen, Akshay Kumar paid a tribute to the legendary actor and wrote, "Kabhi kabhi ek tasveer sirf yaadon ka tukda nahi hoti... ek poori journey ko samet leti hai. Yeh picture humari Bhooth Bangla ki shoot se hai...Asrani ji ke saath meri second last film. Total 12 films humne saath ki, aur har ek mein maine unse kuch naya seekha... it was like a masterclass every single time. Comedy itni aasaan lagti thi jab woh karte the, lekin asal mein woh ek mushkil kala hai. Asrani ji uske ustad the aur hamesha rahenge. Bhooth Bangla kal release ho rahi hai... mere liye yeh sirf ek film nahi, ek yaad hai... ek tribute hai... ek salute hai uss legend ko. Asrani ji, aap hamesha yaad aayenge"
