Bhooth Bangla Trailer Drops as Akshay Kumar–Priyadarshan Reunion Sets April 17 Release

The release was moved to steer clear of a rival hit, with paid previews set for April 16 at 9 pm.

Overview

  • The trailer, released Monday at a Mumbai launch, sets up a horror-comedy in the town of Mangalpur built around a haunted mansion and a spirit named Vadhusur that stops weddings.
  • The makers confirmed paid previews for Thursday, April 16 at 9 pm and a theatrical rollout on Friday, April 17 after shifting the date to avoid Ranveer Singh’s strong-running Dhurandhar: The Revenge.
  • The film reunites Akshay Kumar with director Priyadarshan after roughly 14 years and features Paresh Rawal, Rajpal Yadav, Tabu, Wamiqa Gabbi, Mithila Palkar, Jisshu Sengupta, the late Asrani, and Rajesh Sharma.
  • Reporting highlights deliberate callbacks in the trailer to Priyadarshan hits through famous lines, meme-ready gags, and Bhool Bhulaiyaa-like visuals, drawing praise for nostalgia alongside complaints of repetition.
  • Producers Balaji Motion Pictures and Cape of Good Films are backing what the team describes as a family-friendly horror-comedy with fantasy elements, aiming to pull audiences in with a mix of laughs and light scares.
