Bhooth Bangla X Review

An X user wrote, "Akshay Kumar - Priyadarshan combo works again & entertains us. Bhooth Bangla is nostalgia done right. First half was a nonstop chaotic laugh riot literally with old school Bollywood comedy. Plus return of vintage goofy Akki. Also salute to Rajpal Yadav, Asrani ji, Paresh Rawal. Camaraderie between all of them was making the theatre laugh so hard. Second half goes serious becoming plot heavy with decent horror, would have loved for more humour here though. But overall it was fun, mazaa toh aaya."
