In recent times, we witnessed the magic of Stree 2, a horror comedy, at the box office. It became one of the highest grossing films of all times in Bollywood. It looks like Bhooth Bangla is going to follow the same route and will hopefully turn a massive box office hit. Happiest birthday to Akshay Kumar!
