Bhooth Bangla Cast

The film boasts a massive ensemble cast featuring Akshay Kumar, Wamiqa Gabbi, Asrani, Paresh Rawal, Tabu, Jisshu Sengupta, Manoj Joshi, Mithila Palkar, Rajesh Sharma, and Manu Menon.

Bhooth Bangla was earlier slated to release on April 10; however, the makers decided to postpone the film, stating, "Dhurandhar: The Revenge performing exceptionally well is heartening news for our film industry, and the exhibitors feel this shift will allow both films the space, focus and attention they deserve."

Bhooth Bangla Review

The reviewer at The Free Press Journal gave Bhooth Bangla 3 stars, and the review read as, "Bhooth Bangla has a very interesting concept, and the first half of the film is hilarious. But an average second half and not-so-great climax make the movie weak. If you are looking for a perfect horror-comedy, then you might get disappointed after watching Bhooth Bangla. However, this film can be just a timepass watch for the weekend."
