Haunting Hilarity: 'Bhanupriya Bhooter Hotel' Blends Horror and Humor

On October 22nd, 2025, the poster for the upcoming Bengali film 'Bhanupriya Bhooter Hotel' was unveiled, offering audiences a tantalizing glimpse into a story that promises to blend horror, humor, and heart. Directed by Aritra Mukherjee, the film brings together an ensemble cast led by Mimi Chakraborty and Soham Majumder as one pair, and Bonny Sengupta and Swastika as the other. The cast also features Kanchan Mullick, Manashi Singha, and Anamika Saha in significant roles.

The newly launched poster captures a grand ballroom scene, with two couples dancing the tango as a few curious onlookers watch from the staircase behind. This intriguing composition hints at the film's underlying themes of mystery, mischief, and madness, while the accompanying background score amplifies the haunting yet playful mood.

Speaking about the project, Aritra Mukherjee shared that 'Bhanupriya Bhooter Hotel' is an attempt to create a world where humor and horror coexist. The narrative, while rooted in the supernatural, also reflects on the human condition, exploring fear, connection, and the absurdities of life through laughter and suspense. The story draws inspiration from a stay in an old colonial-era hotel in Kalimpong, where long, solitary walks down dimly lit corridors sparked the eerie yet humorous idea behind the film.
