Bhooth Bangla, starring Akshay Kumar and directed by Priyadarshan, continues to maintain a stable trend at the box office. After a solid first week, the film entered its second Friday with a mild upward movement, reflecting sustained audience interest.
The horror-comedy has shown consistency both domestically and internationally, with Day 8 numbers indicating a steady hold rather than a drop. With the second weekend underway, all eyes are now on how the film capitalizes on this momentum.
