What To Expect From Bhanupriya Bhooter Hotel OTT Release: Date, Time, Platform, Tone, Themes & Who Should Watch

Kolkata — Just in time for Poila Baisakh, the much-hyped Bengali horror-comedy Bhanupriya Bhooter Hotel is finally checking into our living rooms on ZEE5 today, April 15, 2026. After smashing it at the box office earlier this year, the film is set to be the ultimate New Year treat for the fandom.

Haunted Holidays: The ZEE5 Debut Of Bhanupriya Bhooter Hotel

The wait is officially over for everyone who missed this spooky roller coaster in theatres. Bhanupriya Bhooter Hotel arrives on ZEE5 as a special festive drop, marking the first major digital premiere of the Bengali New Year season.

This move is a massive win for regional OTT viewers, as ZEE5 continues its streak of grabbing high-rated theatrical hits for its Bengali library.

The film originally hit the big screen on January 23, 2026, and quickly became a sleeper hit. Boasting a solid IMDb rating of 8.2/10, it successfully balanced the tricky act of scaring the audience while keeping the laughs coming.

Insiders reported that the theatrical run was so strong that the PR move to release it on OTT right during Poila Baisakh was a strategic masterstroke to capture the holiday viewership.

Spooks And Spoofs: What Is The Plot All About?

Set against the chillingly beautiful backdrop of the North Bengal mountains, the story follows the opening of a luxurious mountain hotel named Bhanupriya. Things take a dark—and hilarious—turn when guests realise the hotel is built on a colonial-era graveyard.

Soon, ghosts of all ages start checking in, turning a peaceful winter retreat into absolute supernatural mayhem.

The narrative picks up speed when a sceptical lawyer, Aranya (played by Soham Majumdar), and his friend Shaon decide to debunk the ghostly rumours.

However, what they find is a mix of property disputes, hidden maps, and actual spirits that aren’t too happy about the illegal construction of the hotel. It is a classic investigation story wrapped in a “UA 16+” horror-comedy blanket.

The Powerhouse Cast Behind The Chaos

Director Aritra Mukherjee has assembled a dynamic ensemble that keeps the energy high throughout the 129-minute run.

Mimi Chakraborty leads the pack as Nandini, bringing her signature charm to the mysterious hotel setting. Joining her are Soham Majumdar, Bonny Sengupta, and Swastika Dutta, who add layers of quirkiness to the high-stakes ghostly encounters.

Music maestro Anupam Roy and Arnab Dutta have handled the tunes, ensuring that the eerie mountain vibes are perfectly complemented by a rich background score. The production by Nandita Roy and Shiboprosad Mukherjee’s Windows Production ensures that the film maintains a high technical standard, from cinematography in the foggy mountains to seamless editing.

Who Should Check Into This Hotel?

If you are a fan of “scary-funny” stories that don’t take themselves too seriously, this is a must-watch. It is perfect for those who enjoyed films like Stree or the Bhooter Bhabishyat franchise but want a fresh, mountain-based twist.

With the holiday spirit in the air, it is a great pick for a binge-watch session with friends, provided you can handle a few jump scares alongside the situational comedy.

As the film starts streaming today, the buzz on Stan Twitter is already building up about whether a sequel is in the works. For now, grab your snacks and get ready to see what happens when humans and ghosts try to share the same hotel suite.
