Akshay Kumar’s film Bhooth Bangla, directed by Priyadarshan, collected Rs. 65 lakh on its 5th Wednesday at the Indian box office. With this, the film’s total collection has reached Rs. 159.75 crore. The movie is now nearing the end of its theatrical run and is expected to close around Rs. 165 crore in India.
At present, it looks difficult for the film to cross the lifetime collection of Housefull 5, which earned Rs. 168 crore. Even so, Bhooth Bangla has already become a successful film at the box office and is being seen as an important comeback for Akshay Kumar after a challenging period following the pandemic.
The film’s performance is also being discussed because Akshay Kumar is known for releasing multiple films regularly. Industry observers often point out that his steady output helps theatres and the box office remain active throughout the year. Compared to several other leading actors who may take two or three years to release one film, Akshay Kumar and Ajay Devgn continue to maintain a higher number of releases.
The Indian box office is often driven by star power, and regular film releases by major actors play an important role in keeping audience interest alive. Bhooth Bangla has managed to perform consistently over several weeks, especially for a horror comedy genre film.
The weekly box office collections of Bhooth Bangla in India are as follows:
Week One collected Rs. 80.25 crore.
Week Two collected Rs. 40.75 crore.
Week Three collected Rs. 21.00 crore.
Week Four collected Rs. 12.25 crore.
The film continued its run in the 5th week with stable collections. On 5th Friday, the film earned Rs. 0.65 crore. On 5th Saturday, collections increased to Rs. 1.20 crore, followed by Rs. 1.70 crore on 5th Sunday. The movie collected Rs. 0.55 crore on 5th Monday, Rs. 0.75 crore on 5th Tuesday, and Rs. 0.65 crore on 5th Wednesday.
With a total collection of Rs. 159.75 crore so far, the film has emerged as one of Akshay Kumar’s better performing releases in recent years.
