The Story in Brief
Bollywood star Akshay Kumar has said that even fantasy and supernatural films must be grounded in logic. Speaking to IANS, he argued that every fantastical element 'needs a logic', asking where powers come from and how transformations happen. Director Priyadarshan, reuniting with Kumar after 14 years for 'Bhooth Bangla', added that the film uses concepts like teleportation from the Vedas and quantum physics to explain its supernatural events.
'Bhooth Bangla' follows a man who inherits a haunted palace and hosts his sister's wedding there. The cast includes Tabu, Paresh Rawal, Rajpal Yadav, and Wamiqa Gabbi.
The Indian Opinion
The usual Bollywood narrative pits blockbuster spectacle against meaningful storytelling, but Akshay Kumar is right: even comic books have internal rules. The real test will be whether 'Bhooth Bangla' actually delivers that logic on screen, or just talks about it in interviews.
