Expected Runtime and Final Confirmation
The trade sources have revealed that Bhooth Bangla currently stands at around 170 minutes. However, the final runtime is yet to be approved by the CBFC, and it may slightly vary after the censor certification process. Therefore, the exact duration will only be confirmed closer to the film’s theatrical release. If even minor changes are made, the film is expected to remain longer than most modern Bollywood releases.
A Rare Long Film in Akshay Kumar’s Filmography
Interestingly, this runtime has placed Bhooth Bangla among the longest films that Akshay Kumar has had since Holiday – A Soldier Is Never Off Duty (2014). Holiday had a runtime of 2 hours and 50 minutes. In the past 12 years, most of his films have typically stayed under 150 minutes, and it is following the trend of shorter storytelling.
However, there have been a few exceptions. There are films like Baby (2015), Rustom (2016), Kesari (2019), and OMG 2 (2023) that also had longer run times crossing the 2.5-hour mark. Still, a near 3-hour duration is very uncommon in his recent filmography.

Release Date Uncertainty and Delays
The excitement is high, but the film’s release date is still uncertain. Initially, Bhooth Bangla’s release date was scheduled for April 10. However, now reports say that Bhooth Bangla has been postponed to April 17. Moreover, the delay in releasing the trailer has further increased speculation about a possible postponement.
What This Means for Fans
A longer runtime of Bhooth Bangla has confirmed one thing that the film will have a more detailed and engaging narrative. Bhooth Bangla will give viewers a mix of horror, comedy, and possibly a layered storyline.
Final Thoughts
All in all, Bhooth Bangla is getting a lot of hype, and the film is likely to be a unique addition to Akshay Kumar’s filmography.
