Unleashed Success: ‘Bhooth Bangla’ Box Office Collection Hits Rs 23 Crore on Day 1, Dethroning Ranveer Singh’s ‘Dhurandhar 2’!
“Bhooth Bangla,” starring Akshay Kumar, has made a notable entry into the box office landscape, debuting with approximately Rs 23.90 crore worldwide. This impressive start has allowed it to knock “Dhurandhar: The Revenge” off its four-week throne, making waves in the industry.
On its opening day, the horror-comedy directed by Priyadarshan earned about Rs 12.25 crore net from regular screenings. When combined with an additional Rs 3.50 crore earned during paid previews, the film’s total domestic net collection reaches around Rs 15.75 crore. This figure aligns well with early trade expectations, which predicted a Rs 15 crore opening.
According to Sacnilk, “Bhooth Bangla” has achieved a global total of Rs 23.90 crore, with India grossing Rs 18.90 crore and overseas collections contributing around Rs 5 crore. The film’s debut effectively ends the reign of “Dhurandhar: The Revenge,” which had enjoyed steady success over the past month. The Ranveer Singh-led film experienced a notable drop on its 30th day, pulling in only Rs 2.70 crore net, a dip that marks a significant shift in the box office rankings. Nevertheless, its cumulative net total remains impressive at Rs 1,105.82 crore.
“Bhooth Bangla” now ranks among Akshay Kumar’s top five opening-day grossers post-pandemic. While “Sooryavanshi” still holds the top spot with Rs 26.29 crore, “Housefull 5” follows closely with Rs 24 crore net.
Initially scheduled for an April 10 release, the filmmakers opted for a one-week delay to provide an “undisturbed window” at the box office, responding to requests from exhibitors amid “Dhurandhar”‘s ongoing run. This strategic decision appears to have paid off, as “Bhooth Bangla” has emerged as the leading film of Friday and is poised to top the box office over the weekend.
The film is a reunion for director Priyadarshan and Akshay Kumar, who last collaborated 15 years ago. Their partnership has previously yielded hit comedies, including “Hera Pheri,” “Garam Masala,” “Bhool Bhulaiyaa,” and “Bhagam Bhag.” This latest offering also features a strong supporting cast, including Tabu, Paresh Rawal, Wamiqa Gabbi, and Rajpal Yadav.
As the box office landscape evolves, industry experts are keenly observing how “Bhooth Bangla” continues to perform. The film not only marks a significant moment in Akshay Kumar’s career but also reshapes the competition among current releases.
