Actor Rajpal Yadav discusses his cheque bounce case, stating the issue is about the lender's intention and has cost him Rs 22 crore, not just an inability to repay Rs 5 crore.
Bhooth Bangla, the Akshay Kumar and Priyadarshan horror-comedy, has collected Rs 79.02 crore in its first week in Indian theaters, with worldwide gross at Rs 127.37 crore. The film is now just Rs 21 crore away from the coveted Rs 100 crore domestic milestone, driven by strong family footfalls and nostalgia for 2000s comedy era. Despite competition from Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar 2 and IPL 2026, the film has shown resilience with Day 3 delivering the peak collection of Rs 23 crore.

Rajpal Yadav has opened up about one of the most talked-about phases of his life—his jail stint and the controversy surrounding the Rs 5 crore debt case. In a recent conversation, the actor addressed public perception, industry support, and the reality behind the headlines. One of the most common public perceptions—that an actor with such a vast filmography should have easily repaid Rs 5 crore—was also addressed.
Bhooth Bangla, the horror-comedy reuniting Akshay Kumar with director Priyadarshan, has crossed Rs 100 crore worldwide gross (Rs 106.34 crore) driven by a strong opening weekend of Rs 54.25 crore. The film earned Rs 12.25 crore on Day 1, Rs 19 crore on Day 2, and Rs 23 crore on Day 3 (its peak). However, it faced a 70.7% drop to Rs 6.75 crore on Day 4, with Day 5 bringing Rs 2.29 crore, indicating the typical post-weekend slowdown.
