Bhooth Bangla First Review Out
Ramesh Bala reviewed the film and gave it four stars.
“It unfolds as a layered supernatural tale rooted in the eerie legend of Vadhusur and a village long possessed by his dark presence, including the haunted bungalow itself. Beneath the horror lies an intriguing backstory that slowly reveals itself, adding depth and emotional weight to the narrative…,” he wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.
He also noted that the film keeps viewers engaged through the “unusual relationship between the ghost and the living characters”.
‘One Of Akshay Kumar’s Best Performances’
Ramesh Bala also praised the performances of Akshay Kumar, Paresh Rawal, and Rajpal Yadav.
“Akshay Kumar delivers one of his career-best performances, effortlessly switching between sharp comic timing and intense moments. His punchlines land perfectly, and his presence drives the film throughout. Supporting him brilliantly are Paresh Rawal and Rajpal Yadav, who elevate the first half with their impeccable comic chemistry, making it thoroughly entertaining,” he said.
He further added that the film becomes even more gripping after the interval as the story begins to unravel its mysteries, keeping viewers hooked till the end.
“The direction ensures a smooth balance between horror, comedy, and suspense, while the entire cast delivers commendable performances.”
