Akshay Kumar's latest venture, Bhooth Bangla, has made a significant impact at the box office. Originally scheduled for release on April 10, the film's postponement to April 17 has proven beneficial. Despite competing with Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar 2, Bhooth Bangla has successfully grossed over Rs 100 crore globally within its first week. The horror comedy has now overtaken the espionage thriller, and it is on track to reach the Rs 150 crore milestone. The film's domestic gross is nearing Rs 100 crore, which is expected to be achieved by the end of its opening week.
As per reports from Sacnilk, Bhooth Bangla has amassed Rs 127.37 crore globally in just seven days. In India, the film has garnered Rs 78.90 crore in net earnings, with a gross collection of Rs 93.87 crore. While Bhooth Bangla continues to thrive, Dhurandhar 2 is experiencing a gradual decline in its box office performance. Below is a detailed breakdown of Bhooth Bangla's box office collection in India:
| Bhooth Bangla Collection Day | Bhooth Bangla Collection |
| Day 0 | Rs 3.75 crore |
| Day 1 | Rs 12.25 crore |
| Day 2 | Rs 19 crore |
| Day 3 | Rs 23 crore |
| Day 4 | Rs 6.75 crore |
| Day 5 | Rs 8 crore |
| Day 6 | Rs 6.15 crore |
| Total | Rs 78.90 crore |
Set in the eerie town of Mangalpur, Bhooth Bangla revolves around the fears of young brides and couples who are warned against traversing the area due to incidents of kidnapping and sudden deaths, attributed to the resident demon, Vadhusur. Arjun Acharya, played by Akshay Kumar, defies these warnings when he attempts to marry his sister in Mangalpur. As the story unfolds, his father, Dr. Vasudev Acharya (Jisshu Sengupta), reveals the true identity of Vadhusur, prompting Arjun to protect his family from impending dangers.
The film features a talented cast, including Tabu as Yashoda, alongside Paresh Rawal, Rajpal Yadav, Wamiqa Gabbi, Rajesh Sharma, and Mithila Palkar in key roles. The production budget for Bhooth Bangla is reported to be around Rs 120 crore, with paid previews taking place on April 16.
In light of the film's successful performance, there are discussions about a potential sequel. The open-ended conclusion of Bhooth Bangla leaves room for further exploration of its storyline. However, there has been no official announcement from the production team regarding a sequel at this time.
