Official Release Date and Paid Previews

Bhoot Bangla is officially scheduled to hit theaters on April 17, 2026.n an exciting move for fans, the makers have also announced special paid previews starting from 9 PM on April 16, 2026. This strategic shift comes after the film was moved from its original April 10 slot to avoid a box office clash with the Ranveer Singh starrer Dhurandhar 2, which has been dominating the charts.

The Iconic Cast & Crew

This film marks the seventh collaboration between Akshay Kumar and Priyadarshan—the duo behind classics like Bhool Bhulaiyaa and Hera Pheri. The ensemble cast is a dream team for comedy lovers:

  • Akshay Kumar

  • Paresh Rawal

  • Rajpal Yadav

  • Tabu

  • Wamiqa Gabbi

  • Asrani

  • Mithila Palkar

The music is composed by Pritam, with the first hit single "Ram Ji Aake Bhala Karenge" already gaining massive traction on social media.

Plot: What is Bhoot Bangla About?

Unlike a typical horror flick, Priyadarshan has revealed that Bhoot Bangla is a fantasy horror-comedy rooted in Indian mythology and black magic.

"It is based on mythology and black magic, inspired by the Vedas and the Mahabharata," says Priyadarshan.

The story revolves around a haunted bungalow that becomes the epicenter of chaos, fear, and signature Priyadarshan-style misunderstandings.

Why the Delay?

Industry insiders suggest that producer Ekta Kapoor and the team chose the April 17 date to give the film "breathing space" at the box office. With major blockbusters like Dhurandhar 2 and Hollywood's Project Hail Mary vying for screens, the move ensures that Bhoot Bangla gets the wide release and IMAX showcasing it deserves.

Stay tuned for the trailer launch, expected to drop in the first week of April!
