Bhooth Bangla is nearing the end of its theatrical run but continues to perform steadily at the Indian box office. The Akshay Kumar starrer horror comedy added Rs. 4.75 crore during its sixth week in cinemas. On its sixth Thursday, the film collected around Rs. 80 lakh, showing that it still has some audience interest even after several weeks of release.
The movie recorded only a 20 per cent drop compared to the previous week, which is considered a stable hold at this stage of its run. One of the major reasons behind the film’s continued performance is the weak box office response to other movies released in recent weeks. Since newer releases have not performed strongly, Bhooth Bangla has managed to stay in theatres for a longer period and continue attracting viewers.
With its latest collections, the total Indian nett box office earnings of Bhooth Bangla now stand at Rs. 164.75 crore. According to current trends, the film is expected to cross the lifetime collection of Housefull 5, which earned Rs. 168 crore. Trade estimates suggest Bhooth Bangla may complete its full theatrical run slightly below the Rs. 170 crore mark.
The success of Bhooth Bangla is being seen as an important film for Akshay Kumar, who has faced a difficult phase at the box office in recent years after 2020. Following a few successful films last year, Bhooth Bangla has emerged as a clean commercial success for the actor and helped strengthen his position again at the box office.
Industry observers often point out that Akshay Kumar is known for releasing multiple films regularly, which helps theatres and the overall film business maintain momentum. Unlike some actors who take several years between projects, Akshay Kumar has consistently delivered films every year. Ajay Devgn is another actor often noted for maintaining a similar release pattern.
The week wise box office collections of Bhooth Bangla in India are as follows:
