With an intriguing teaser and chart-topping songs already creating waves, Bhooth Bangla has successfully sparked curiosity, positioning itself as a fun-filled family entertainer. However, the makers have announced that on account of Dhurandhar 2 emerging as a global box office phenomenon, the film will be released on 17th April, one week later than its original release date of 10th April. Paid preview for the film is all set to begin on 16th April 2026 from 9 PM onwards.
Bhooth Bangla`s release date shifted to 17th April
In an Instagram note, producer Ektaa Kapoor announced, “After an extensive discussion and multiple requests from our distribution partner & exhibitors across key markets, we have decided to postpone the release of Bhooth Bangla by one week. We remain committed to delivering a great cinematic experience and are confident that this decision will benefit audiences and let the film have a powerful run at the cinemas!”
“Dhurandhar: The Revenge is currently enjoying an exceptional run at the box office, which is great news for Producers at large. Our exhibitors felt that giving it a clear, uninterrupted window would be in the best interest of the industry ecosystem.”
“By moving Bhooth Bangla ahead by a week, we are ensuring that both films get the theatrical space, marketing focus, and audience attention they truly deserve! We believe this approach benefits everyone — the filmmakers, the exhibitors, and most importantly, the audiences who get to experience each film without compromise.”
“We will always prioritise the comfort of theatre going audiences, and strive to entertain them in the best way possible with our films!”
