Bhooth Bangla, starring Akshay Kumar and Wamiqa Gabbi, continued its steady run at the Indian box office during its fourth week. The horror comedy collected Rs. 1.40 crore on its fourth Friday, taking its total collection to Rs. 144.40 crore nett in India.
The film is now expected to cross the Rs. 150 crore mark soon. Based on its current pace, trade estimates suggest the movie may finish its theatrical run between Rs. 155 crore and Rs. 160 crore nett at the Indian box office.
Directed by Priyadarshan, Bhooth Bangla has benefited from a relatively clear run in theatres this week. The movie has continued to attract audiences even in its fourth week, especially after strong collections during the first two weeks.
The film opened with Rs. 80.50 crore in its first week and added another Rs. 41.50 crore in the second week. In the third week, the movie remained stable and continued collecting decent numbers during weekdays as well as over the weekend.
For Akshay Kumar, the success of Bhooth Bangla comes after a difficult period at the box office following the pandemic. Several of his recent films had underperformed commercially. Last year, some of his releases managed to perform decently, but none were able to emerge as major HIT films. With Bhooth Bangla, the actor has finally delivered a successful theatrical performer again.
Akshay Kumar is also known for releasing multiple films regularly, something that keeps theatres active throughout the year. Compared to some actors who take several years between projects, Akshay and Ajay Devgn continue to maintain a higher number of releases. Industry observers often note that regular releases from major stars help maintain consistent audience interest in cinemas.
