Smart move to prepone. The May slot was getting too crowded. April gives it a better chance to breathe at the box office. Excited to see Tabu and Akshay together after ages!

With that cast - Paresh Rawal, Rajpal Yadav, Asrani - it's giving me major Hera Pheri vibes! Hope the comedy is fresh and not just relying on old formulas. Fingers crossed.

As an NRI who grew up on their films, this reunion is everything! But I do hope the "horror-comedy" genre is done well. Sometimes these films rely too much on cheap jumpscares instead of clever writing.

Shooting wrapped up in May last year and releasing in April 2026? That's a long post-production. Must be heavy on VFX. Hope the wait is worth it. The title 'Bhooth Bangla' sounds fun though!

Akshay Kumar's lineup is indeed packed. Good to see him balancing mass entertainers like this. After a few underwhelming films, hoping this marks a solid comeback for the Khiladi. All the best to the team!
