Akshay Kumar is clearly back in his comfort zone and how! Bhooth Bangla is not just holding its ground at the box office but is also surprising everyone with its steady momentum. Despite entering weekdays, the film has managed to show growth — something that doesn’t happen very often.

With positive word of mouth, strong BMS trends, and Priyadarshan’s signature humor working like magic, the horror-comedy is turning into a crowd favorite. Audiences are especially loving Akshay’s comic timing, calling it a nostalgic throwback to his golden era.

Day 5 Box Office Collection: Shows Growth Despite Weekday Blues

After a strong weekend total of over 58 crore, Bhooth Bangla slowed down on Monday but bounced back again on Tuesday. As per trade reports, the film collected 7.52 crore on Day 5, pushing its total to a solid 72.27 crore net in India.

Here’s the day-wise breakdown:

  • Paid Premieres: 3.75 crore
  • Day 1 (Friday): 12.25 crore
  • Day 2 (Saturday): 19 crore
  • Day 3 (Sunday): 23 crore
  • Day 4 (Monday): 6.75 crore

The jump from Monday to Tuesday indicates strong audience retention and growing footfalls, which is a major positive sign for the film’s long run.

Box Office Verdict So Far: A Strong Performer With Winning Trends

Bhooth Bangla has not just performed well — it has outpaced notable recent releases in just 5 days. The film has comfortably beaten Bhediya (35.86 crore in 5 days) and Munjya (27.40 crore in 5 days), establishing a massive lead.

With such numbers and steady weekday holds, the film is heading towards a promising second weekend surge. If this trend continues, it could emerge as one of Akshay Kumar’s strongest performers in recent times.
