Bhooth Bangla Day 22 Box Office: Horror-Comedy Earns Rs. 1.75 Cr Net; Maintains Flat Hold Compared To Thursday

BY SACNILK

Bhooth Bangla has entered its fourth week of theatrical run, and the performance on Day 22 shows a high level of stability. The film collected ₹1.75 crore on its fourth Friday, which is the same as its collection from Thursday. This flat hold is a positive trend for the movie, indicating that it is maintaining a steady pace at the ticket windows as it transitions into the fourth weekend. On the all-time list of highest 22nd-day collections for Bollywood, Bhooth Bangla has secured the 29th position. With a collection of ₹1.75 crore, the film has managed to outperform the 22nd-day numbers of several big titles. This includes Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 (₹1.56 crore), Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 (₹1.40 crore), and even action films like War and Tiger Zinda Hai. With this steady Friday performance, the total India net collection for Bhooth Bangla now stands at ₹151.75 crore. If we include the gross collections, the domestic total reaches ₹180.06 crore. The film is also finding some traction in the international market, adding ₹0.10 crore on Day 22 to take its overseas gross to ₹52.95 crore. Combining all these figures, the worldwide gross collection has now reached ₹233.01 crore, solidifying its status as a significant commercial success. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Bhooth Bangla's collection on its 22nd day is significantly higher than what many of Akshay Kumar’s previous releases earned at the same point in their theatrical run. While this film collected ₹1.75 crore on Day 22, several of his other major post-COVID hits were trending well below this mark by their fourth Friday.Here is how some of his other notable releases performed on their 22nd day: Bhooth Bangla:₹1.75 Cr OMG 2: ₹1.10 Cr Kesari: ₹0.95 Cr Sooryavanshi: ₹0.71 Cr Jolly LLB 3: ₹0.50 Cr Housefull 5: ₹0.30 Cr Looking at the theatrical activity, the movie was playing across 3,939 shows on Friday with an overall occupancy of 10.0%. In the major national multiplex chains like PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis, the film tracked about 3,356 tickets from 1,400+ shows. PVR led these chains with 1,570 tickets sold, followed by INOX with 1,190. While the occupancy in these premium chains was lower at 1.12%, the broader performance across single screens and smaller centers seems to be providing the bulk of the stability. The ticket booking trends on BookMyShow further highlight how the film has maintained momentum over the weeks. Starting with 170K pre-sales, it sold 1.45 million tickets in its first week and 811K in the second week. Even in its third week, it managed a healthy 401K tickets. For its fourth Friday specifically, the film saw 28.38K tickets booked, bringing the total count to over 28.64 lakh tickets. These are very healthy numbers for a mid-budget film entering its fourth week of run.

Bhooth Bangla Week 3 Box Office Collection: Film Crosses 150 Cr Net Milestone; Overtakes Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 by a 2.1% Margin

BY SACNILK

Bhooth Bangla has just completed its third week at the box office, and the numbers tell a story of remarkable steadiness. As we look at the closing figures for Day 21, the film has officially crossed the major milestone of 150 Crore net in the Indian market. It is a significant achievement for the project, showing that the audience interest remains intact even as it enters its fourth week of theatrical run. The horror-comedy genre has once again proven to be a reliable space for Akshay Kumar. Looking at his trajectory post-COVID, where several high-profile releases struggled to maintain long-term momentum, this film represents a significant return to box office stability. What is particularly impressive is how it has maintained such a consistent screen presence, even seeing an uptick in show counts as it closed out its third week. This steady performance suggests that the film has successfully connected with the audience's preference for light-hearted theatrical entertainers. If we look closely at the daily performance during this third week, the film managed to collect 21.85 Crore net across India. The trend remained quite stable, especially during the weekdays. On Day 21, which was its third Thursday, the film earned 1.75 Crore, showing no drop from the previous day. This kind of consistency is a positive sign for the exhibitors. Over the course of the week, the movie was screened across a total of 31,387 shows, maintaining an average weekly occupancy of approximately 17.28 percent.

Even on the slower weekdays like Thursday, it managed to sell 25.76K tickets. This brings the total lifetime ticket sales on the platform to 2.84 million. Additionally, the national cinema chains contributed significantly, selling 108,089 tickets over these seven days. When we shift our focus to the international market, Bhooth Bangla continues to find takers overseas. During the third week, the film added 4.70 Crore from international territories. While the numbers naturally tapered off toward the end of the week, with Day 21 bringing in 0.10 Crore, the overall total overseas gross now stands at 52.95 Crore.

While it still trails behind Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 (₹23.35 Cr), which is positioned at rank 35, competing in this elite bracket confirms that the film has better-than-average legs for a modern mainstream release. Taking everything into account, the worldwide gross for Bhooth Bangla has reached 230.93 Crore. With an India gross of 177.98 Crore and a solid net of 150 Crore, the film has cemented its status as a successful venture. The fact that the show count actually increased to 4,923 on Day 21 suggests that theater owners still have confidence in its ability to draw crowds as it heads into its fourth weekend.

Raja Shivaji Box Office: A Strong Second Weekend On The Cards Amid Faded Competition

BY SACNILK

Mumbai, May 7 - Riteish Deshmukh's historical action drama Raja Shivaji is rewriting box office history for Marathi cinema with record-breaking collection. Released amid some hype in Maharashtra, the film has collected approximately 58 crores gross and is heading towards finishing the first week with around 62 crores gross, which will be the record week for a Marathi film. No major release this Friday, the Jio Studios and Mumbai Film Company's blockbuster is expected to remain the first choice of moviegoers this weekend, with a big jump expected in the Maharashtra region. Raja Shivaji will not have an entirely free run though, as a few films are releasing this coming Friday. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Kapil Sharma and Neetu Kapoor's Daadi Ki Shaadi, along with Krishnavataram Part 1: The Heart (May 7), Nawazuddin Siddiqui-starrer Main Actor Nahin Hoon, and comedy-mystery-satire Dug Dug, are among the notable Hindi releases this week. The Hollywood film Mortal Kombat II is also hitting theatres, but neither film is expected to challenge Raja Shivaji in terms of numbers. The low-key competition leaves Raja Shivaji as the only major title to perform in the coming days, even though there is Akshay Kumar's Bhooth Bangla running successfully, but it will already be in its 4th week. While Riteish Deshmukh's directorial and starring will lose some screens to the new releases, it will be looking to score around 30 crores gross in its second weekend, which will put it within touching distance of the 100 crores mark. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) As reported earlier, Raja Shivaji is currently the 4th biggest Marathi film of all-time, and it is expected to be number 2 at the end of the second weekend, behind only Sairat, which minted 110 crores gross collection. It is certain to become only the second Marathi film ever to reach 100 crores gross mark and eventually top the top seeder to become the new all-time blockbuster Marathi cinema.

Bhooth Bangla Day 20 Box Office Collection: Nets 1.75 Cr; Poised To Achieve 150 Crore Milestone Today

BY SACNILK

Bhooth Bangla is proving once again that the nostalgic reunion of Akshay Kumar and Priyadarshan is a formula that still resonates deeply with the Indian audience. On its 20th day, which was the third Wednesday of its theatrical run, the film earned 1.75 crore net at the box office. While this reflects a 22.2 percent drop from the previous day's 2.25 crore, it is a very resilient hold for a movie entering its third week. In a market where newer releases often struggle to find footing, this horror-comedy is managing to stay relevant and pull in crowds through sheer brand value and genre appeal. The success of the film highlights a significant trend in Bollywood. Horror-comedy has become a safe haven for the box office, successfully following the massive footprints left by blockbusters like Stree 2 and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2. By tapping into this popular genre, the Akshay-Priyadarshan duo has reclaimed their territory, proving that the blend of humor and chills is exactly what the audience wants right now. Even with 4,522 shows running across India on day 20, the film is maintaining a steady pace, bringing its total India net collection to 148.25 crore. If we dive into the engagement on digital platforms, the performance is quite impressive. According to BookMyShow data, the film has now sold a total of 28,10,390 tickets since its release. The third week specifically started with strong numbers, recording over 89K tickets on Friday and maintaining a consistent daily average. On Wednesday, even with a natural midweek dip, it saw 31.49K tickets booked. This kind of ticket-selling momentum shows that the film is not just relying on its opening week hype but is actually benefiting from sustained interest and word-of-mouth. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) When analyzing the film's performance across the major national multiplex chains like PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis, it managed to gross nearly 14 lakh on Wednesday from approximately 1,840 shows. PVR stood out as the leading contributor among these chains with a gross of over 6.8 lakh, while INOX and Cinepolis followed with contributions of around 4.5 lakh and over 2.5 lakh respectively. While these numbers have naturally scaled down as the movie moves deeper into its theatrical run, they still represent a reliable stream of revenue from urban centers. Globally, the movie is also making its mark. With an overseas addition of 0.15 crore on its 20th day, the total international gross has reached 56.25 crore. Combined with the domestic gross of 175.93 crore, the total worldwide gross now stands at a healthy 228.18 crore. As the film completes its third week, it is now on the verge of hitting the 150 crore net milestone in India. The ability to maintain a collection of over 1.70 crore on a third Wednesday is a strong indicator of its steady appeal. Despite several new films entering the market over the last few weeks, this horror-comedy has carved out its own space and is currently heading into its fourth weekend with a very solid total.

Bhooth Bangla Producer Ektaa Kapoor Heaps High Praise For Akshay Kumar; Calls Him a Pillar of Bollywood's Economy

BY SACNILK

Mumbai, May 6 - In a heartfelt and thought-provoking post, Bhooth Bangla producer Ektaa Kapoor has expressed her deep admiration for Bollywood Akshay Kumar, shedding light on his discipline and the larger role he plays in sustaining the film industry. Sharing a nostalgic picture of her father, Jeetendra, with Akshay Kumar, Ektaa drew a meaningful comparison between the two. She noted how both men carry discipline, consistency, and a strong belief in a producer's vision. She said that every interaction with Akshay reminds her of her father, highlighting a rare combination of professionalism and trust. Beyond Stardom: Supporting the Industry's Backbone (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Ektaa Kapoor used this moment to address a broader reality of Bollywood. She emphasised that while big films with top directors may sustain one layer of the industry, it is actors who work regularly who truly keep the ecosystem alive. She credited legends like Dharmendra, Jeetendra, and Akshay Kumar for ensuring continuous opportunities for producers across all scales. The producer also responded to ongoing discussions about Akshay Kumar doing multiple films each year. She argued that this consistency is not overexposure but a necessity for the industry. Regular releases generate employment, support technicians, and allow mid-sized and smaller producers to stay active in the business.

Bhooth Bangla Day 19 Box Office: Solid Tuesday Jump To Rs. 2.25 Crore Puts 150 Crore Net Milestone Within Reach; Outpaces Monday Collections

BY SACNILK

Bhooth Bangla is proving that Akshay Kumar still has significant box office pull when the content resonates with the audience. On its 19th day, which was the third Tuesday, the film saw a jump in its collections. It earned 2.25 crore net across India, which is actually a 28.6 percent increase from the 1.75 crore it made on Monday. This kind of upward trend on a weekday so late in its run is quite rare and shows that the film is finding a second wind with the audience, maintaining a solid 20 percent occupancy across 4,397 shows. Taking a look at the performance in national cinema chains like PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis, the film is holding up remarkably well for its third week. It sold a total of approximately 22,000 tickets across these major screens on Tuesday. PVR led with 11,000 tickets, followed by INOX with 7,000 tickets, and Cinepolis with 4,000 tickets. These sales came from 1,790 shows across 354 venues. It is currently competing closely with other active releases like Michael and The Devil Wears Prada 2 within these premium circuits. With these consistent earnings, the total India net collection has reached 146.50 crore, while the gross total stands at 173.88 crore from over 1.66 lakh shows. This success has officially earned Bhooth Bangla a hit status, making it the fourth straight success for Akshay Kumar following Kesari 2, Housefull 5, and Jolly LLB 3. It seems the horror-comedy genre is currently a very effective platform for him to engage with a wide audience. Based on the current trajectory, the film is just 3.50 crore away from the 150 crore milestone. Since it earned 2.25 crore on Tuesday alone, we can expect it to cross this major mark within the next two days, likely before the third week concludes. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Take a look at the week-wise and daily breakdown of Bhooth Bangla: Week 1 Collection: ₹84.40 Crore Week 2 Collection: ₹43.75 Crore Day 15 (3rd Friday): ₹4.50 Crore Day 16 (3rd Saturday): ₹4.35 Crore Day 17 (3rd Sunday): ₹5.50 Crore Day 18 (3rd Monday): ₹1.75 Crore Day 19 (3rd Tuesday): ₹2.25 Crore The digital engagement on BookMyShow also tells a very positive story of sustained interest. The film has sold a total of 27.78 lakh tickets on the platform so far. After a massive opening week of 1.45 million tickets and a second week of 811k, the third week is showing surprising stamina. On this third Tuesday, it sold 48.73k tickets, which puts it in a respectable position alongside other major 2025 releases like Dhurandhar, Chhaava, and Raid 2. This steady demand late into the third week suggests that the film is still a preferred choice for family audiences. Internationally, the film is having an equally impressive run, marking a significant comeback for Akshay Kumar in the overseas market. According to data from Venky Boxoffice, the film grossed about 8k dollars on its third Monday in North America, bringing its total there to 2.17 million dollars. It is currently tracking for a lifetime finish of around 2.5 million dollars in that region. Total overseas gross has reached 52 crore, which pushes the overall worldwide gross collection to an impressive 225.88 crore. As Bhooth Bangla continues its theatrical journey, it has solidified itself as one of the most successful post-pandemic releases for the actor in international territories. The combination of domestic stability and strong overseas interest has ensured that the film is a profitable venture for everyone involved. With no major drops in sight as it heads toward its fourth week, the film looks set to add a significant amount more to its final tally before it concludes its run.

Raja Shivaji (Hindi) and Ek Din Day 1 Box Office Prediction: Can The New Releases Challenge Holdovers?

BY SACNILK

Mumbai, April 29 - The Box Office battleground for May 1, 2026, is set. As the industry celebrates Maharashtra Day, two distinct films - the Marathi historical epic Raja Shivaji and the soulful romance Ek Din - are hitting the big screen amid mid expectations. But the big question is, can these new entrants topple the strong holdovers, in the form of Bhooth Bangla and Dhurandhar 2, currently dominating the charts? Raja Shivaji: The Regional Powerhouse (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Directed by and starring Riteish Deshmukh, Raja Shivaji is the most anticipated Marathi film in years. While the Marathi version is expected to see a historic opening, the Hindi dubbed version faces a different set of expectations. The advance booking for the film is good overall, but the Hindi version is seeing an underwhelming response. The advance booking trend suggests Hindi opening of Raja Shivaji around 1.50-2 crores net, but the movie has the advantage of the genre and a story deeply personal to the people, especially in Maharashtra. Releasing on Maharashtra Day is another plus, which is expected to boost the walk-in footfalls. However, despite having certain advantages, the original Marathi version is expected to dominate the footfalls, leaving not much room for the Hindi version. While the trade is expecting the Hindi opening in the range of 3-4 crore net, the trend suggests it might be somewhere between 2-3 crores net, depending on spot bookings. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Ek Din: Low Buzz, Word-of-Mouth Dependent Backed by Aamir Khan's production house, Ek Din stars his son Junaid Khan alongside Sai Pallavi. Despite the reputation attached to it, the film has struggled to generate some sort of pre-release excitement. The makers tried to boost the buzz by opening the advance sales a month before the release date, but things haven't turned out as expected with low pre-sales. As a result, Ek Din is expected to open in the 1 to 2 crore net range on Day 1. The romantic drama's niche appeal and limited awareness mean that its box office journey will heavily depend on audience word of mouth rather than an initial surge. Bhooth Bangla To Remain Top Choice? (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Superstar Akshay Kumar-fronted horror comedy Bhooth Bangla has been performing very well since its release on April 17, and is expected to remain the top choice in Hindi this Friday, unless the new releases really surprise on the release day. There is Dhurandhar 2 also, which, even though it is slowing down, is expected to retain some screens and collect on low levels.

The film earned 4.35 crore net on its twelfth day, reflecting a 24 per cent increase from the 3.50 crore reported on the second Monday. This mid-week uptick is largely due to the implementation of a Buy 1 Get 1 ticket offer across booking platforms. The incentive helped the film stay steady during the working week, preventing the typical Tuesday drop and pushing the daily total slightly higher than the previous day. The collection of 4.35 crore on the second Tuesday stands as one of the better mid-week holds for the actor in recent years. Below is how the film compares to other major Day 12 (2nd Tuesday) collections of Akshay Kumar in the post-pandemic era: Bhooth Bangla: 4.35 Cr Housefull 5: 4.25 Cr Sooryavanshi: 3.92 Cr Jolly LLB 3: 3.75 Cr OMG 2: 3.25 Cr The total domestic performance now stands at a solid 121.25 crore in net collections, while the India gross has reached 144.10 crore. Despite being in its second week, the film maintained a strong footprint with 9,117 shows running across the country. The trend suggests that the audience interest remains high, particularly in the family segment, which was the target demographic for the promotional offer. The film has now effectively built a platform to cross the 125 crore net mark before the conclusion of its second week.

The morning shows started on a quiet note with 6 per cent occupancy, but the numbers saw a steady climb during the afternoon and evening, hovering around 14 per cent. However, the night shows saw the biggest jump, reaching nearly 19 per cent occupancy. This pattern indicates that the BOGO offer effectively pushed working professionals and families toward the later screenings, ensuring a high closing for the day. The performance in national cinema chains was instrumental in driving the Day 12 numbers. PVR led the charts with 17,800 tickets sold, followed by INOX with 9,800 and Cinepolis with 4,800. In total, the national chains accounted for approximately 32,450 ticket sales, generating a combined gross of over 53 lakh from these specific venues alone. The National Capital Region (NCR) remains a primary stronghold for the film, maintaining 1,010 shows and recording consistent footfalls that outpaced many other major territories. Digital ticket sales on BookMyShow also mirrored this positive sentiment. The platform recorded a total of 80,000 ticket sales for the second Tuesday, a massive leap from the previous day's momentum. Between 8 am and 10 pm, the film sold over 60,000 tickets compared to 46,500 during the same period yesterday. Even the late-night hourly trend showed growth, with 3,820 tickets sold in the 9-10 pm window compared to 3,430 on Monday night, proving that the film's momentum is gathering pace rather than slowing down. On the global front, Bhooth Bangla added 1.50 crore from overseas markets on its twelfth day, taking its total international gross to 51 crore. When combined with the domestic gross, the film's worldwide total has reached 195+ crore. With this current trajectory, the film is officially on the countdown to join the 200 crore club, a milestone it is expected to surpass by the end of today. Achieving this feat within twelve days marks a significant victory for the Akshay Kumar and Priyadarshan duo, reaffirming their box office pull in the horror-comedy genre.
