Horror of a Comedy Bhooth Bangla Once Again Reveals Akshay's Biggest Problem in Life

You know what’s Akshay Kumar’s real problem is? He just thinks he’s funny.

The dude is pushing 60, thinks he has the best comic timing, when honestly, he’s never had any, and still plays a bumbling man child, romancing girls less than half his age and wonders why he’s never even been nominated for an award. 

Akshay Kumar leads Bhooth Bangla - a painfully senseless horror of a comedy that's neither funny nor scary. When you watch a film like this - the one question that you constantly ask yourself is this - are the actors, directors, producers - not people? Do they not see just how bad it is, when they see it? Or is it always too late to do anything but just release it, promote the film, manage whatever media you can and hope it still works.

Bhooth Bangla is a story of a goofy 58 year old man, trying to get his little sister married at their ancestral palace in Mangalpur, which is haunted by his own people. 

But whatever can go wrong, does – including the script, dialogues, screenplay and before you know it, you have spent 2 hours 53 minutes of seeing good and bad actors being equally wasted by a director who was once known for path breaking cinema. 

And you know what’s the scariest part? They always have a sequel planned
