The film follows the journey of Arjun Acharya, played by Akshay Kumar, who inherits a massive, abandoned estate in the rural village of Mangalpur. Desperate for money, Arjun ignores the local warnings and decides to use the palace for his sister's lavish destination wedding. However, the village lives in constant fear of Vadhusur, a demonic entity known for brutally killing newlywed brides on their wedding night. As the festivities begin, terrifying paranormal activities erupt inside the mansion. Arjun, along with a chaotic group of friends and wedding planners, must frantically uncover the dark secrets of the estate to save his sister before she becomes the demon's next victim.

Bhooth Bangla has been a massive success commercially, capitalizing on the nostalgia of the iconic actor-director duo.
