Priyadarshan's Bollywood Return with 'Bhooth Bangla'
On the work front, Priyadarshan recently returned to Hindi films with 'Bhooth Bangla', reuniting with Akshay Kumar after a long gap. ETimes reviewed the film and noted, "While the first half of Bhooth Bangla is thoroughly entertaining and keeps one hooked, a crisper narrative and a shorter runtime would have made this horror comedy far more effective. Still, it delivers enough laughs for a decent one-time watch." Meanwhile, Priyadarshan's last outing in Mollywood was the Shane Nigam starrer 'Corona Papers', which received decent reviews.
