When and where to watch Bhooth Bangla on OTT

Bhooth Bangla will premiere on Netflix on June 12. The streaming giant announced it on social media with the caption, "Zor zor se bolke sabko dara do 👀 Bhooth Bangla mein jald entry hogi 🦇💥
Watch Bhooth Bangla, out 12 June, on Netflix (sic)."

The film has been backed by Balaji Motion Pictures in association with Cape of Good Films.

Ahead of its theatrical release, people drew comparisons between Bhooth Bangla and Bhool Bhulaiyaa. In an interview with Pinkvilla, Priyadarshan stated that both films have totally different storylines.

He called Bhool Bhulaiyaa a "psychological thriller" and Bhooth Bangla a "fantasy."

Let's see what kind of response Bhooth Bangla gets on OTT.

The horror comedy opened to mixed reviews from critics and audiences alike. An excerpt from Outlook India review of the film reads: "Bhooth Bangla is the death of comedy-cum-mythological-cum-horror, or whatever this outlandish genre stew this is. Kumar’s reunion with Priyadarshan after 17 years arrives as a stinker of massive proportions. It lurches between disparate tones, its camera spinning in unfathomable directions, insisting you latch on for its no-concession humourless diet."
