An early and unauthorised review of the film has leaked on social media, piqueing moviegoers' interest. With such early excitement, expectations are already mounting. All eyes are now on whether Bhoot Bangla can live up to the hype and have a great debut at the box office.

The reviewer scored Bhoot Bangla four stars out of five, calling it 'pure entertainment' and writing, "A solid horror comedy with twists, laughs & jump scares. Fun first half, gripping second half, and a shocking climax (fire emoji) #AkshayKumar shines, while #PareshRawal & #RajpalYadav add madness. #Priyadarshan delivers pure entertainment."

 

 

Check out the Bhooth Bangla initial review here:

South Indian trade analyst Ramesh Bala has watched the film, and he took to X to share his review. He gave the movie 4 stars and wrote, "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. What truly stands out is how the film explores the unusual relationship between the ghost and the living characters, blending fear with humour in a way that keeps you invested (sic)."
