Bhoot Bangla trailer review

Akshay Kumar and Priyadarshan are coming to entertain movie lovers with the film Bhoot Bangla. The film is racing for a grand release on 16 April 2026.

The makers today released the trailer of the film and it got the following reactions from the netizens. The trailer starts with Akshay’s character inheriting a bungalow with a haunted jungle behind it called Pisaach Van, and he isn’t willing to let it go just because it’s haunted. Even as Paresh Rawal’s character tries to warn Mithila Palkar’s character of the many perils in the house, Akshay hilariously tries to undermine them. All this while he’s trying to marry, when no one in the village of Mangalpur marries because of an evil entity called Vadhusur. The trailer ends with Akshay inevitably waking Vadhusur from his slumber, even as he continues to try to downplay it all to Mithila.

Netizens felt that the trailer offered nothing new and is a rehash of old films and dialogues.

One X user wrote, “Kuch to original bnao, vhi same Bhool Bhulaiyaa ki script, same dialogues phle ki movies ke like, ‘bahan dar gyi bahan dar gyi’, ‘Hum koi mandir ka ghanta hai jo koi bhi bja ke chla jaata hai’. (At least make something original. It’s the same old Bhool Bhulaiyaa script, with the same dialogues from earlier films like, ‘Sister got scared, sister got scared’ and ‘Am I some temple bell that anyone can ring and walk away?)” Another commented, “Is it movie or meme template?” One user wrote, “This looks like a copy-paste of Bhool Bhulaiyaa with dialogues mashed up from Priyadarshan’s old movies. An attempt to create laughter by nostalgia, cinema may fall flat. Feel very sad for the team of writers.” Criticising the trailer, another wrote, “Didn’t feel like a Priyadarshan movie.”
