Bhooth Bangla Twitter Review: Bhooth Bangla hits theatres on April 16, with paid previews starting at 9 pm. This comedy entertainer marks the reunion of Akshay Kumar and director Priyadarshan. After the first screenings, several Akshay Kumar fans watched the film and took to X (formerly Twitter) to share their honest reactions. The response has been a mix of excitement, praise, and some criticism.
After reading the reviews on Twitter, it looks like Bhooth Bangla is a classic Priyadarshan-style movie that mixes comedy with horror. Akshay Kumar’s perfect comic timing drives the story, especially in the first half. The interval twist is a big surprise for the audience. The first half of the movie is fun and interesting, but the second half gets darker, which might not work for everyone.
Bhooth Bangla Reviews on Twitter
One movie lover said, “Bhooth Bangla blends horror and comedy across its 2-hour 45-minute runtime, with the first half leaning more towards humour, while the post-interval portions explore a darker past.”
Another movie buff stretched the screenplay could have been tighter, and the movie’s length feels a little long. He further mentioned that Tabu’s performances added depth, but some of the supporting actors, like Mithila Palkar and Wamiqa Gabbi, could have been used better. “On-screen presentation could have been simpler. Tabu was effective, although an actress of her calibre deserved more powerful moments. Mithila Palkar and Wamiqa Gabbi, they felt, did not get much scope,” said a movie critic.
A third user noted, “The writing could have been sharper and the runtime tighter.” Meanwhile, another reaction read, “WHAT. WAS. THAT!!!!!!! Banger of an interval point! Absolutely unexpected! All guesses and predictions failed!”
Another moviegoer wrote, “#BhoothBangla is a paisa vasool entertainer. Akshay Kumar proves once again that no one does situational comedy better than him. Priyadarshan brings back nostalgia with the Akki–PD combo. Top-notch first half and a decent second half.”
