Akshay Kumar-led Bhooth Bangla continues to demonstrate stable box office momentum as it enters its second Friday. After wrapping up a consistent first week, the horror-comedy has begun Day 8 on a promising note, backed by encouraging BookMyShow (BMS) trends.
The Priyadarshan directorial is witnessing a notable surge in hourly ticket sales, indicating sustained audience interest despite the weekday phase. Early indicators suggest the film is well-positioned to maintain its run into the second weekend.
The most significant development comes from the morning-to-noon trend. The film recorded a sharp 244% jump in BMS ticket sales, rising from 1,800 tickets between 8 AM – 9 AM to 6,200 tickets during the 1 PM – 2 PM window. This spike reflects improving occupancy as the day progresses, a key indicator of positive word-of-mouth and walk-in audience support.
By 7 PM, Bhooth Bangla had sold approximately 57.6K tickets on Day 8, closely matching Day 7’s 54.9K. Holding nearly 97% of the previous day’s momentum on a second Friday is a strong trend, especially for a film that has already completed a full week in theatres.
Looking at the broader picture, the film has delivered a solid first-week performance on BMS. With 1.62 million tickets sold, it has secured a spot among the top 10 Bollywood films of 2025–26 in terms of opening week ticket sales. It has also marginally surpassed Sitaare Zameen Par, indicating competitive traction in the current market.
The day-wise breakdown reflects a typical weekend-heavy trend followed by weekday drops, stabilizing towards the end of the first week:
Pre-sales contributed 169.87K tickets, followed by 260.52K on Friday, 385.02K on Saturday, and 345.66K on Sunday. Weekdays saw a decline with 126.77K on Monday, 147.26K on Tuesday, 92.82K on Wednesday, and 96.59K on Thursday, bringing the total to 1.62 million tickets.
Based on current trends, Bhooth Bangla is expected to witness a noticeable jump over the weekend. If the film capitalizes on its Friday momentum, it could see improved footfall on Saturday and Sunday, potentially pushing its second weekend totals to a healthy range. The consistent hold suggests a steady lifetime trajectory rather than a front-loaded run.
While exact box office figures are not provided, the BMS trends indicate that the film is maintaining audience interest and could continue performing steadily in the coming days.
