Bhooth Bangla is a horror-comedy that does not land as a funny or frightful watch. With an extremely dated, weak and stretched plot, along with overbearing storytelling and hackneyed gags punctuated for comedy, it may have been classified as a passable watch 15 years ago

Bhooth Bangla
After Bhool Bhulaiyaa, Akshay Kumar and Priyadarshan are back with another haunted palace and another ghost. But when the first movie's lurking, unseen, mysterious entity is replaced by a poorly rendered CGI ghost, is there any comparison?
The film introduces us to Arjun Acharya (Akshay Kumar), who lives in London. His younger sister Meera (Mithila Palkar) is about to get married, but cannot find an appropriate destination wedding location in India. Things fall in place miraculously when a lawyer shows up at their door, informing them that their grandfather is dead and has bequeathed all his wealth, which includes a haveli, to them.
