Akshay Kumar’s Bhooth Bangla is clearly finding its footing at the box office, and the weekend trend is speaking loud and clear. After a decent opening, the film has picked up pace over the first three days, riding on favorable word of mouth and nostalgia around the Akshay-Priyadarshan combo. The numbers are now reflecting a healthy upward trajectory.
Day 3 Sees Strong Growth, Crosses ₹50 Crore Net In India
As per the latest update till 7 PM, Bhooth Bangla has earned ₹17.79 crore on its third day, showing a noticeable jump compared to the previous days. This growth indicates that the audience response is improving, especially through social media chatter.
With this, the film’s total India net collection stands at ₹52.79 crore, while the gross has reached ₹62.99 crore. Crossing the ₹50 crore mark within the opening weekend is a strong sign for a film that opened to decent reviews.
Day-Wise Breakdown Strengthens The Trend

This kind of weekend growth is crucial, especially for a genre like horror-comedy, where word of mouth plays a major role in sustaining footfall.
Akshay Kumar & Priyadarshan Reunion Paying Off?

This reunion factor seems to be working in the film’s favor, drawing audiences who are curious to see if the magic can be recreated once again.
