A third user wrote, "Akshay Kumar is in top form... His comic timing, expressions, and effortless switch between fear and humour are a delight to watch. Even after a 14-year long gap, he delivers his absolute best once again in a Priyadarshan film (sic)."

Some others, however, were not impressed with the film's comedy and slow screenplay.

Directed by Priyadarshan, Bhooth Bangla is a horror comedy film which focuses on a man who inherits a palace and plans his sister's wedding there, but strange and supernatural events and locals force him to investigate the property's past.

Besides Akshay Kumar, the film stars Paresh Rawal, Rajpal Yadav, Asrani, Tabu, Wamiqa Gabbi, Mithila Palkar, Manoj Joshi, and Vindu Dara Singh in significant roles.
