The Hindi film Bhooth Bangla, starring Akshay Kumar, has started its second week at the box office on a steady note. On its second Friday, the film collected around Rs 5.75 crore. This is about 10 percent higher than what it earned the previous day, showing a slight increase in audience turnout.
After 8 days in theatres, the total collection of the film has reached around Rs 86 crore net. The film saw a drop of just over 50 percent compared to its first week, which is considered a stable performance. Based on its current trend, the film has now been classified as a successful or hit release.
This makes Bhooth Bangla one of the notable Hindi film successes of the year, along with Border 2 and Dhurandhar 2. For Akshay Kumar, this is his first hit film since OMG 2. It is also his first non franchise hit since Good Newwz.
In recent years, especially after the pandemic, Akshay Kumar has faced a difficult time at the box office, with several films not performing as expected. Last year showed some improvement, as his films managed average results instead of failing completely. Now, with Bhooth Bangla, he has a clear hit film again.
The actor is known for releasing multiple films regularly, which plays an important role in keeping the box office active. Unlike some actors who take a long time between projects, Akshay Kumar and actors like Ajay Devgn have maintained a steady flow of releases. This consistency helps the industry, as regular film releases are important for theatre business.
Looking ahead, Bhooth Bangla is expected to perform well over its second weekend. It may collect around Rs 25 crore more, which could take its total beyond Rs 105 crore by Sunday. If the trend continues, the film is likely to finish its full run at around Rs 140 crore to Rs 150 crore net.
Overall, the film’s performance shows steady growth and strong audience support, especially in its second week, which is usually a crucial period for any film’s box office journey.
