Following the excitement surrounding Dhurandhar 2, Akshay Kumar made a swift return to theaters with his latest film, Bhooth Bangla. This horror-comedy, directed by the renowned Priyadarshan, premiered on April 17 and had a slight effect on the box office performance of the Ranveer Singh-Aditya Dhar action film. Although it started off well, Bhooth Bangla experienced notable growth over the weekend. It also performed reasonably well during its critical first Monday at the box office, with Day 5 showing an unexpected 20% increase in attendance, surprising industry experts.

On its fifth day, Bhooth Bangla continued to show strong box office results, earning approximately Rs 7.65 crore on Tuesday, according to preliminary estimates. This brings its total earnings to Rs 72.40 crore, and with its steady performance, it is approaching the Rs 75 crore milestone.

Reportedly, the film was produced with a budget of Rs 120 crore and has already secured its streaming rights with Netflix. Given its current box office trajectory, it is poised to become a commercial success. Akshay Kumar, who has faced a challenging period at the box office, may once again establish himself as a leading star.
