Bhooth Bangla Box Office Collection Day 4: The horror comedy reunites Akshay Kumar with director Priyadarshan after 15 years. While fan expectations were high from Bhooth Bangla, the initial reviews were mixed. While Akshay's name and his return to the comic fold after a long gap drew crowds initially over the first weekend, as the week began on April 20, the numbers were hit substantially.

Bhooth Bangla has a 'haunted mahal' story

In the movie, Akshay's character Arjun orchestrates his wedding at a haunted mansion despite stern warnings. The demon Vadhusur, who has grown powerful since its emergence 1000 years ago, is what everyone, but Arjun, is scared of. Is Vadhusur just a myth or real, Bhooth Bangla reveals all. The movie is tempered with humourous dialogues and pure Akshay style slapstick comedy. Paresh Rawal, Rajpal Yadav, late actor Asrani, Wamiqa Gabbi and Tabu feature in prominent roles in Bhooth Bangla.  Post its theatrical run, the movie will stream on Netflix.

Akshay and director Priyadarshan have reunited for Bhooth Bangla 15 years after Khatta Meetha. The duo has previously collaborated on hit comedies such as Hera Pheri, Garam Masala, Bhool Bhulaiyaa and Bhagam Bhag. Akshay is also set to feature in Priyadarshan’s upcoming film Haiwaan, which also features Saif Ali Khan.
