Akshay Kumar’s horror-comedy Bhooth Bangla has achieved a significant box office milestone, crossing the ₹100 crore mark globally within just four days of its theatrical release. The film’s strong opening performance underscores its commercial appeal despite mixed critical reception.
Strong Opening Weekend Drives Momentum
Released on April 17, 2026, the Priyadarshan directorial witnessed steady growth over its opening weekend. The film registered a notable upward trend, with collections rising from its opening day through Sunday, helping it build a solid foundation at the box office. By the end of Day 3, the film had already neared the ₹100 crore milestone worldwide.
The combination of horror and comedy, along with Akshay Kumar’s star power, played a key role in drawing audiences to theatres during the initial days of release.
Weekday Dip Fails to Slow Global Surge
Like most theatrical releases, Bhooth Bangla experienced a dip on its first Monday, collecting around ₹6.75 crore net in India. However, the decline did little to dent its overall momentum, as the film crossed ₹100 crore globally on Day 4, with worldwide earnings reaching approximately ₹106 crore.
This performance highlights the film’s strong overseas contribution and sustained audience interest beyond the opening weekend.
Competition and Mixed Reviews Impact Trends
The film has been competing with established box office performers and external factors such as the ongoing IPL season. Despite these challenges, it has maintained a steady run, benefiting from its mass appeal and genre blend.
While audience reactions have been mixed, the film’s commercial performance indicates that its entertainment value has resonated with a wide section of viewers.
Promising Trajectory Ahead
With a solid start and entry into the ₹100 crore club within days, Bhooth Bangla is poised for a healthy box office run if it sustains weekday stability. The coming days will be crucial in determining whether the film can maintain its pace and emerge as one of the major Bollywood successes of 2026.
