Bhooth Bangla’ Box Office Collection Day 6: Akshay Kumar’s Film Crosses ₹75 Crore, Holds Strong Midweek
In an industry where box office numbers often drop sharply after the opening weekend, Bhooth Bangla is doing something different. The Akshay Kumar starrer has managed to cross the ₹75 crore mark within just six days, holding steady even during the midweek slowdown.
That consistency is what stands out.
The film opened with decent numbers, saw a strong jump over the weekend, and instead of crashing on weekdays, it has continued to add steady collections. By Day 6, it is hovering around the ₹75–77 crore mark in India, with global numbers already crossing ₹100 crore. This kind of performance points to one key factor: audience retention.
Despite receiving mixed reviews, the film has managed to pull family audiences into theatres. That is not accidental. The combination of comedy and horror, along with nostalgia attached to the Akshay Kumar–Priyadarshan collaboration, is clearly working in its favour.
There is also timing. With limited major competition and the ongoing IPL season affecting theatre footfall, maintaining numbers midweek is not easy. Yet the film has shown a stable trend, suggesting that word of mouth is at least moderately positive.
