Haunted palace sets the stage for horror and comedy
‘Bhooth Bangla’ follows a man who inherits an ancestral palace in rural Mangalpur and decides to host his sister’s wedding there.Akshay Kumar plays Arjun Acharya, who arranges a grand wedding for his sister Meera, portrayed by Mithila Palkar. Their grandfather’s decision to leave the palace to them soon reveals unsettling secrets.ETimes review for the movie read, “While there are a few chilling scenes in the first half, the narrative turns fully horror after the interval. A flashback sets the context for the palace’s haunted history and the truth behind Vadhusur. However, the screenplay turns messy, and both the creatures and some of the set pieces come across as gimmicky in places, especially toward the climax. The film’s length also feels plodding, especially in the second half, which loses steam and sharpness.The horror-comedy undoubtedly belongs to Akshay Kumar, who sinks his teeth into the role of an almost bumbling and often insolent character. Late actor Asrani, Paresh Rawal, and Rajpal Yadav are in familiar territory, but they pull it off well. Tabu, in a guest appearance, delivers a strong performance, as does Jisshu Sengupta. Wamiqa Gabbi lends able support, but her character is underwritten and feels predictable.“The film also features Paresh Rawal, Rajpal Yadav, Wamiqa Gabbi, Jisshu Sengupta, Tabu, and the late Asrani.DISCLAIMER: The box office numbers and the data in this article are compiled from public and industry sources.
