Bhooth Bangla trailer: Priyadarshan and Akshay Kumar are reuniting after years for the horror comedy Bhooth Bangla, which will hit screens on April 16. The film’s trailer, which was released on Monday, shows Akshay’s character living in a haunted house and trying to get married even as an evil entity called Vadhusur tries to stop him. Fans call the reunion and the comedy in the trailer ‘pure nostalgia’.
Bhooth Bangla trailer
The trailer of Bhooth Bangla shows 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.
Fans react
While some on the internet thought the Bhooth Bangla trailer seemed repetitive of recent horror-comedies, others found it hilarious. One person commented on X (formerly Twitter), “Abbe kuch to original bnao vhi same bhul bhulaiya ki script, same dialogues phle ki movies ke like (why don’t you make something original instead of using the same script and dialogues of Bhool Bhulaiyaa),” while another called it, “Bhoot bangla is like bhool bhulaiya 2 with pridarshan.”
However, fans thought it was hilarious, with one person writing, “Pure nostalgia vibes hitting hard! The Bhoot Bangla trailer has me feeling like we’re back in the golden era of Akshay Kumar.” Numerous others also pointed out a scene between Akshay and Mithila, writing, “Bahen Dar Gyi (Sister got scared).” One even claimed, “Akshay Kumar + Priyadarshan + Paresh Rawal + Rajpal Yadav. The legendary comedy team is finally back to save Bollywood comedy!”
Rajpal Yadav also brings back some of his famous lines from previous films in the trailer.
